The Grip by Ben Hogan

For those of you that are working on the golf grip, below is a video to give you some guide lines. When reading Hogan's Five Lessons, you definitely want to pay attention to the CAPITALIZATION. It was written that the weak left hand grip advocated by Hogan is bad for slicers. This is only true if the other parts of your swing aren't fundamentally sound. Incorporating a strong grip is a quick fix. Go work on the grip. Your hands are the only connection to your golf club, so do yourself a favor and get the grip right.

Golf - Go On Learning Forever

I read through quite a few golf books. Each day I am reading something. For now, the whole bunch of books will go into hibernation with the exception of Hogan's Five Lessons. I have often been told that I will end up with paralysis by analysis. I doubt so. As I continue to learn and add components to my golf swing, it only makes it easier for me to correct my bad habits.

A golfing buddy (we call him Moose) is a very respectable 1 handicap. He said my golf swing lacks LOFT. And he jokingly terms it as Lack Of F**king Talent.

As Hogan once said, for one day that you do not practise, you are one day aways from getting better. The quest is simple.

Go On Learning Forever to achived a perfect Geometrically Oriented Linear Force. There, I said it.

Ben Hogan - Secret Move?

In 1949, Doctor's told Ben Hogan that he will never be able to golf again, that it was an impossible task. Needless to say, competitive golf was out of the question. Despite this, Hogan made a phenomenal recovery. Hogan's come back saw him add another 6 majors to his already impressive record.

The question then is if there is really a secret. Personally, I believe there is. I have been fortunate to have come across an individual that has told me how to do it. Whether it is really Hogan's secret is for anyone to judge. But during the process of incorporating this into my swing, I was given one advise to start.

Read Hogan's Five Lessons - The Modern Fundamentals of Golf. He's advise to me? Read Chapter One. Read it. Read it. Read it. But to through incorporate Hogan's secret move, one must have the fundamentals properly incorporated in the swing. I will post more on this topic as we go along. (P.S. I would say it takes 6 weeks for the proper grip to be ingrained into your swing).

In the meantime, "The Secret is in the dirt" :)

Miura Milled Belt

The Miura Milled belt is made from Stainless Steel. Very unique look. This is definitely a belt to have if you want to be different. Love the mill marks on the buckle.

These custom Scratch Golf wedges really look awesome. Just ordered mine and can't wait for them to show up. What's great about the Custom Studio is that the Tour Department will personally work with you to pick out the best grind that suits your playing style. Will definitely post pictures.
