Ben Hogan's Personal Specifications, Notes, & Information for Personal Irons - Unique
Almost 30 years of handwritten notes regarding adjustments, inspections, results of Ben Hogan's personal irons. These notes do not appear to be in Hogan's hand, but by someone who worked closely with Hogan on a consistent basis. Ben Hogan is considered one of the greatest golfers to ever tee up, and his swing and ball striking ability have withstood the test of time. Hogan is tied with Gary Player for fourth all-time in Major championship victories with nine (US Open: 1948, 1950, 1951, 1953; Open Championship: 1953; Masters Tournament: 1951, 1953; PGA Championship: 1946, 1948). He remains one of only five golfers to accomplish the coveted career Grand Slam, by winning all four Majors. It only took Hogan one try at the Open, where he won in 1953 at Carnoustie, his third major championship of that year.
