Golf Instruction: Ben Hogan's Timeless Tips Golf Instruction: Golfdigest.com


Make a proper weight shift for crisper contact (May, 1952)

Hogan thought one of the amateur golfer's most-common flaws is that they hit the ground before hitting the ball when using their irons. To hit down on the ball properly, he suggested golfers focus on shifting their weight to their front side on the downswing. That move will keep a person from feeling like they are falling back at impact, and it help ensures a golfer will "take turf" after making contact with the ball.

Ben Hogan, 1954

Store Up Your Power (June, 1954)

Hogan's accuracy was his biggest trademark, especially off the tee. But while he rarely missed fairways, he was also one of the longest hitters of his era. To accomplish both, he keyed on delaying his wrist action during the downswing. The result was his famous lag in which he allowed the clubhead to fall well behind the hands -- a move that is probably most closely replicated today by Sergio Garcia.

Jason Dufner golf swing from down the line


Brendan Steele Golf Swing


Under the radar: Keegan Bradley



Anyone who loves golf has got to love this leader board at the PGA.

Brendan Steele -7, Jason Dufner -7, Keegan Bradley -6, Scott Verplank -5

It just goes to show, if you took Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, and Lee Westwood, you would have 4 completely different swings and 4 great golfers.

That was then this is now ... Today, we have 4 completely different swings from 3 new players and one great veteran. Completely different swings. Seriously, take a look at these moves, not only are they different looking swings ... but they are also far from text book in most aspects of the swing. But, as we all know, the bottom line is how well you can repeatably deliver the same expected type of shot to play your own game and win!

Great luck you four and to the rest of the field in THE PGA CHAMPIONSHIP!

Good Golfing to you and God Bless!
