Ben Hogan – Replica Cheque
This item of Golfing Memorabilia is a picture of Ben Hogan
Ben Hogan is widely acknowledged to have been among the greatest ball strikers ever to have played golf, and it is this aspect which has underpinned his modern reputation.Hogan was known to practice more than any other golfer of his contemporaries and is said to have "invented practice". On this matter, Hogan himself said, "You hear stories about me beating my brains out practicing, but... I was enjoying myself. I couldn't wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I'm hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it's a joy that very few people experience." He was also one of the first players to match particular clubs to yardages, or reference points around the course such as bunkers or trees, in order to improve his distance control.Hogan thought that an individual's golf swing was "in the dirt" and that mastering it required plenty of practice and repetition.
