The forward by Jack Niclaus is a wonderful tribute to the Legendary Ben Hogan. "So many things about Ben Hogan were special. He was the greatest shotmaker I ever saw. He was more determined and could totally out-focus anyone else in his time of playing. No one seemed to know him very well, which made him that much more feared as a competitor. He probably worked harder than anyone to reach the top, and it took him a long time. Then, when he got there, his body was all but destroyed by the car accident. All he did was start all over again at nearly 40 and got even better. Nobody was like Hogan." Several wonderful Hogan swing photo sequences are presented on fold out pages. Hogan's complete tournament records are in the Appendix Special sections on Hogan's victories in the Majors are full of anecdotes and facts. In a personal letter to the publisher Ben Hogan expressed his approval for the book. "I cannot really express my deep appreciation for the beatiful book that you have published. All I can say is that Valerie and I are so pleased, and that I feel very fortunate, and am grateful to be your subject." "Also I know, and appreciate all your time, effort, and talent to make this book such a fine one; so tastefully done." "Valerie joins me in thanking you with our hearts." "Warmest Wishes," Ben Hogan This is a must have for all golfers who appreciate the best of all games. Presented by: 'The Ben Hogan Collection'.
