Ben Hogan at Augusta 1967

Ben Hogan hitting irons on the range.

He doesn’t seem to have a trigger that starts his backswing? He waggles, then sets the club behind the ball, then starts the backswing.

there was a reason. he used the angle of the cigarette to gauge just how much his head had cocked to the side. he wanted his face to point directly towards his right foot in the takeaway; which helps weight transference. still bad for you though

It's amazing how time changes things. Here is Ben Hogan with a cigarette in his mouth AS HE PRACTICES(:27). You can't find a PGA tour player who even smokes today. This is a good thing.

Lol, use long tee?

No no and no. It didn't matter how he lined up, beyond one very simple, unbelievably fucking ingenious thing that he knew to do, and no one else has known until now. George Knudson was close, but even he didn't fully understand it. There was a secret, but i know now, the world didn't deserve to know. Because of people like golf tee boy 2 posts below me. But rest assured, if you have a couple hundred grand, I'll show you, and guarantee the outcome. Just wait a week or so, you'll see it on TV.
