Ben Hogan B&W 16"x20" Jules Alexander Signed Ltd Ed 197/500 Photos in Original Case
The following are Jules Alexander's notes regarding each shot. "Hogan's ambition was to become the first man to win our national championship five times, and this explained why, at forty-six, he was in the starting field in the 1959 U.S. Open, which was held at the Winged Foot Golf Club in Westchester County, New York." The seldom seen size of 16x20 Ben Hogan photos, coupled with the fact Jules Alexander signed each photo, makes this a integral piece for any collection. Limited edition out of only 500
1. First Day. Opening Tee Shit, 1959 U.S. Open Winged Foot Golf Club
2. First Day. Second shot, fifth hole, a par 5
3. First day. Pitch from the rough. Fifth hole
4. First day. Lining up putt. Sixth hole
5. Third day. Fairway wood after rain delay
6. Third day. Considering the shot, sixteenth hole
7. Third day. The shot. Controlled power
8. On the practice tee, 1970 Westchester Classic
9. Alone on the green. Practice day, 1959 U.S. Open
10. 1970 Westchester Classic. Fourth hole. (I believe Hogan hit his tee shot up the left side each day and walked up the left side since it is the only fairly level part of the hole and afforded him less effort in walking this hilly par 4)
11. A study in power - one of my favorite shots. 1959 U.S. Open
12. The classic Hogan swing. Poetry in motion. 1959 U.S. Open 18th Hole
