This is my 3rd documentary of the day so far about golf from you. Just wanted to say you have made the best videos I’ve watched in a long time keep it up your gonna be the best. Really helped me understand the pillars of golf.

I was a caddy at Carnoustie in the 90s. A tale told to visiting golfers by the older caddies was that Hogan prepared for the 1953 tournament on the neighbouring Barry links, where he was free from press intrusion. The story goes he would walk out to the 6th fairway and hit mid-irons to the elevated green. The legend maintains that he never looked at the ball in flight but rather listened to the sound of each strike on the unfamiliar sandy turf. Onlookers described the sound as a rifle shot straight out an old Western.

In a further comment, this is a fabulous look at the complex and turbulent life of golfs greatest legend. Brilliantly done. Hogans life was like a novel by Charles Dickens. Not even the fictional Oliver Twist had a more difficult childhood than William Ben Hogan. Sleeping in bunkers overnight to be the first caddy out the next day!! Jack and Tiger never had the obstacles to overcome that Hogan faced. This bio is extremely well researched and detailed. Worthy of the dedication and preparation of this maestros life. A CHAMPION LIKE NO OTHER.

Excellent documentary. The irons I play are 2003 Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro irons, 5 to Equalizer. I bought them from eBay for $100. When they came in the very first thing I noticed was their quality. They were like jewels, perfect in every way. They were made several years after Mr. Hogan's passing, but I can feel his influence every time I hit them. Yes, Mr. Hogan was a perfectionist, and he succeeded with these irons. They are perfect. I will never play any other irons but Ben Hogan irons.

Thank you for producing such a masterpiece on Mr Hogan, a true joy to watch for all of us.

Great documentary! Ben Hogan was the best golfer of all time in my opinion.

From 1946-1948 he won thirty tournaments and three Majors. The best US Open player ever with 5 wins(1942 counts, he still received the gold medal) he was top 10 for 20 years straight in the US Open 1940-1960.

Absolute Gold! Hogan is a legend and this documentary shows it well. Best golf documentary I've seen, well done!

It's insane to think after all of these years, the best teachers, the best guys who study golf swings, even the best ai can't confidently determine what Ben Hogan's secret move is. Isn't that just nuts? Truly one of the best to ever swing a club if we are all still searching after 70 years. Great video

Another gem, Trevor. Succinct, direct and to the point, much like Mr. Hogan himself. Well done.

Hey, I really think you’d enjoy researching the criminally underrated David Graham. Started lefty and even won his first tournament lefty, goes on to win two majors right handed including at Merion… Be good to see him get some KZfaq love

Trevor, these are world class videos. Thanks!

Thank you Mr Hogan. Thank you Mr Stymie.

Keep em coming!

Your videos are too good. Please don’t stop

Earned a sub! As legendary as he is, I don’t think he gets the true credit he deserves. I love reading about him, such an interesting character

Wow what a documentary 😮🙌🙌

Very well done documentary. Brilliantly narrated. Bravo 👏

Thank you so much for this one! George Knudson and Ben Hogan are my two favourite golfers and you’ve covered them both incredibly well! I’ve enjoyed this one very much and all the others, thank you again and keep it up!

Hogan’s & many other players biggest issue back in the day was they had the laws of ball flight wrong. Also the quote about having 3 right hands is often misconstrued, he learned to use the left (lead) hand correctly and control shots so his trail hand was able to release as much/hard as he wanted without over hooking, really the right hand quote was a left hand complement.

Cruden Bay Russ has hit the nail on the head. Or in this case the sweet spot on the driver!! The Scots invented this Bonny game and are acknowledged as the finest fans in golf. They flocked by the thousands to catch a glimpse of "The Wee Ice Mon" as they called him. The Open at Carnoustie was a showcase for this genius at his zenith. People talk about "The Tiger Slam." Hogan played in six tournaments in 1953, winning five. Including all three majors he played in!! The only reason he didnt win all four was the PGA was played overlapping his ocean trip to Carnoustie. Speaking of Carnoustie, Hogans performance was more like brain surgery than golf during his four day stint there. Each round lower than the previous, dismantling the toughest course on the open rota. How brilliant was Hogan? He was never in the rough the entire tournament!! As a caddy there, Russ knows the Par Five sixth hole has bunkers to the left with an out of bounds just left of it. Knowing his skill was peerless, Hogan seized the advantage by splitting the difference between the two objectives all four rounds!! It is also common knowledge that no golfers shots produced a sound like Hogan's did. Ben Crenshaw and Lanny Wadkins observed Hogan hitting and were rendered in a state of awe by his ball striking. "That sound was Hogan's alone," said Crenshaw. I once was privileged to watch his rival the great Sam Snead as a caddy at the Country Club of Lansing, Michigan. I was flabberghasted by the sound his shots produced. Even Snead's shotmaking was left trailing this master of the links. As a pure golfer, i dont care which player you name. Jack, Tiger or anyone else spanning the centuries of this glorious game. Ben Hogan was the greatest of them all. As golf writer Al Barkow observed, "Hogan didnt just play golf. He was absolute golf." The ultimate corporeal manifestation of an idea." NUFF SAID.

Thank you, Mr Hogan 🙏❣I too love golf - and thank you Trevor for sharing this

Best golf documentaries on the platform

There is no secret,he developed a swing that suited him,and worked hard.

Great work Trevor. Utmost respect from over here in the UK. 👍

Such a legend and true man always thinking of his wife first.

Hogan i believe got taught by count yogi.Maybe in Chicago paid for by a fellow professional. Cured his hook.Jack Grout ,Jack Nicklaus's coach was also familiar with the Count.

Golf is a game which has always been subject to technology. Tech advances have always lowered scores. The U.S. Open is the national golf championship of the USA. It is the oldest golf competition in America & every year is played in June on a different course. NOTE: Players were not allowed to clean the ball on the green until 1960. Therefore, consider the following: From 1934 to 1961 Ben Hogan played in 21 Opens. He finished with a 72 hole score under 290 in 15 of them for a .714% & he won 5X including the 1942 Hale America National Open (substitute for the cancelled Open due to WW2) in which there was local & sectional qualifying & after Hogan won it he was given a medal which looked just like his other ones. From 1960 to 1986 Jack Nicklaus played in 27 Opens & finished under 290 in 18 of them for a .667% & won 4X. From 1997 to 2020 Tiger Woods played in 20 Opens & finished under 290 in 13 of them for a .650% & won 3X. It must also be pointed out that Hogan finished top ten in 16 consecutive US Open attempts (1940-60) & the longest such streak by anyone else is still 7.

Now I gotta find out if I’m related to this guy, I just started playing golf at 28 and I rotate my club face at the top of my swing as well and I’m like hmmm is this a strange coincidence 🤔

16 months later? You sure about that?

Hogan was Tiger before Tiger came along

30:33 ... that image of the Precisions is wrong. the picture you show is of the cheap version made for beginners not the set that Hogan played with or offered for sale to low handicap players. who made this video? clearly someone who knows the basics of Hogan and not a real fan. too bad.

It's not funny how ever bugger wants to change the rules of golf, change the balls, and now they will change the rules again why because of climate change! I had a half set of Ben Hogan clubs, which my parents bought me for my 21st birthday wish I had never sold them. I could drive 300 yards with the driver but could never master the irons!
