How about the Ben Hogan I did not know?

The man who could not -- notice I did not say would not -- articulate what he knew for the benefit of those of us who do not?

In Five Lessons, for example, Hogan stated that he wanted to consciously feel his upper arms adhered to his chest. The world clambered aboard, and now, if the bones of those ensuing throngs who advised us to "stay connected" were to be piled, they would blot out the sun.

"All rise . . . "



Today, we see Sean Foley, my PGA TOUR friend / competitor and the latest media-annointed guru, putting a hanky under Tiger's right arm. A PGA TOUR player -- Tiger Woods for goodness sake! -- with a hanky under the arm?

Please.

This not-so-new new S&T (Sean & Tiger) drill may 'work' -- and for both their sakes, I hope so -- but given Tiger's already prodigious record, how will we ever know?

For the record, I strongly disagree with Mr. Hogan's description (of his own Mechanics) and Mr. Foley's specific drill. Something entirely different is going on. I will explain just what that is at a later time, probably next January 24 at the PGA of America Coaching and Teaching Summit!
