The Hogan Letter Authenticity
Roger Gunn's Article
While studying Mr. Hogan's golf swing on the internet, I found an article
written by Roger Gunn about the Hogan Takeaway.
He talked in great length about the Hogan letter in his lesson about the
takeaway. I contacted him and he was kind enough to send me a copy of the
entire letter.
Roger Gunn's Article About Hogan Letter
The Hogan Letter was given to him by a famous Golf instructor Jim Hardy I
was really interested in the letter due to Roger's use of it and his receiving it
from Mr. Hardy.
David Leadbetter's In The Fundamentals Of Hogan
I remember reading about the Hogan Letter from a David Leadbetter book
named, "The Fundamentals Of Hogan". In the chapter about the takeaway it
mentions the Hogan letter in great detail and how it works with the steady
head.
I contacted the David Leadbetter's company and spoke with one of his aides
and left a message for David but I never received a reply from them. I
followed up a few times with no response.
I again felt more positive about the letter due to another famous Golf teacher
was using this letter in his book.
Golf Bloggers - Ralph At Gotham Golf Blog
I decided to find popular Golf blogger to see if they would be interested in
backing my project.
I spoke with Ralph at Gotham Golf Blog. Ralph seemed interested in finding
out more information. I gave him my project and he networked my work out
to his contacts in the golf teaching world.
Ralph gave me Al Barkow's information because of a blog that Al wrote about
the Hogan Letter.
