Ben Hogan

Ben Hogan. Born Dublin, Texas, 1912. Died July 25th. 1997.
Arguably, one of the greatest golfers ever to grace us with his talents on the golf course. Certainly one of the best golfers the world has ever seen.
Someone who golfers the world over loved to watch. His consistent ball hitting and ice cool temperament were the envy of all who saw him play, and he is often seen as someone whose swing we would love to be able to emulate.
His remarkable comeback after a car accident, which could have killed him, in February 1949 added to the sheer determination and will power of the man, a man who sought to be the most consistent golfer of his time.
This lens is a mainly visual tribute to Ben Hogan who went on to achieve great success in the game.

Ben Hogan - a snippet of the early days 

He turned professional in 1931 and after a not very distinguished start in full time golf he earned enough money outside the profession to fund an attempt to try the US Tour. This he did in 1937.
Financial resource were at a low ebb in those early years. he even had his car tyres stolen one night while staying in a motel.
Shortly after that he started winning money in tournaments and so began his rise to fame.

My husband is a huge fan of Ben Hogan. In fact, our golden retriever is named Valerie Ben Hogan - (Ben's wife was Valerie). He was one of the greatest ever! No doubt!
