The Correct Address Text In Hogan Letter

To achieve this in the golf swing the correct stance must be used with the knees
slightly bent and the shoulders very slightly open to the target. If a line was drawn
through the shoulders it should point slightly left of the target. The feet should be on
the line to the target. This openness of the shoulders is accomplished by bending the

right knee slightly more than the left knee.
The Finish Text In The Hogan Letter

The first move on the downswing is to set the left heel back to the ground as the club
head starts down and bring the right shoulder slightly down as the hands, arms and

feet work spontaneously. As the club comes down the right knee sags in toward the left
knee as the left knee did toward the right knee on the back swing.

This will tighten the left side and bow the right side so that when the swing is finished

the belt buckle will be pointing toward the target and the force of the swing will cause
the hands to finish high. It will not be necessary to force the hands to finish high, they
will do this automatically and spontaneously.

[On this page there is another stick figure with the following notes] head is still in the
same position as throughout the swing – belt buckle or belly button closest part of the
body to the target. Rt knee sags in toward left. Do not straighten rt leg. Keep rt knee
bent and sag it in. Keep on file and refer to when in doubt. If used correctly you can

belt the ball a country mile (Drive for show and putt for dough) green stuff. To verify
correct backswing; At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your
rt leg near your right nut will tighten. This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you
that you have made the correct move back from the ball.
