An authentic, gripping book about a man who not only was the greatest golfer of his day but who remains a thoroughly puzzling human being. Gregston began gathering material for the biography of Ben Hogan over twenty years ago, and has done an excellent job of capturing the career that brought this deserved recognition. Ben Hogan with his tenacious, positive attitude, and his drive for success led him to win the Triple Slam in 1953 by taking The Masters and the U.S. and British Opens. But more than a giant in the golf circuit, Hogan is a man of all seasons. The author knows his subject as well as anyone, and this may be as close as you'll ever get to Ben Hogan. Gene Gregston, who covered Hogan for the press throughout his career, knows his history, his friends, his family, and his peers. The result is the first carefully detailed, full-length portrait of Hogan that has been produced, and Gregston brings that magnificent and remarkable man vividly to life. A must read.
