Glad you posted this, been needing a book to read. the Hogan biography should be a good one. i read somewhere that Hogan believed that you should have every shot for every club. the way that i have typically played golf is akin to mark twain’s ‘a good walk spoiled’
this i think is one of the most underrated feats in sports. as you stated the fact that Hogan could barely walk this. insane.
