Putting is golf's great equaliser, a seemingly
simple aspect of the game whose surprising complexity
has vexed both amateurs and pros for centuries. But now,
for the first time ever, you can learn to putt like the
legendary Ben Hogan, the winner of 9 major
championships. Recognized by many as the greatest
ball-striker and on-target tee-to-green player of all
time, Hogan's prowess with the flat stick has often gone
unnoticed. But Hogan's proficiency on the greens was
like none other when it came to sinking difficult putts
under high-stakes tournament conditions. Hogan on the
Green presents readers with a comprehensive, illustrated
analysis of Hogan's revolutionary system for sinking
short-, medium-, and long-range putts on a variety of
surfaces. Complete with easy-to-follow instructions for
setup and stroke techniques, as well as tips on putting
strategy, practice, and mastering the mental game, this
book is a unique and invaluable resource for those
looking to perfect their putting. With anecdotal
recollections and instructional commentary from those
who knew Hogan best, including 1964 US Open champion Ken
Venturi and Herbert Warren Wind, Hogan's collaborator on
his classic 1957 bestseller, Five Lessons, Hogan on the
Green also includes a host of practice drills and a
special section of putting lessons from renowned golf
coach Claude Butch Harmon Jr.
