A lesson with JB
There's been a lot of talk over the years about Hogan's secret. I think all the conjecture is a lot fun. I would rather hear from his contemporaries, guys that not only played with him but knew him well.
Mr. Burke is one who knew him as well as just about anybody, and I have been fortunate enough to get to spend some time with him, and even have him look at my action and offer some suggestions.
Here's the result of one of those occasions..........
I think rather than try to search for some minute details of what Hogan may or may not have done, I would rather try to decipher things that he said he did.
"Swing the Elbows and Knees toward each other"
I think this is something you can count on as a FOUNDATION to use your body and arms in the Golf swing. I hope this helps you and also encourages you to pay very close attention to the words of Mr. Burke....the economy of words....Sometimes it's those of us that say the least, that really say the most.
