BEN HOGAN'S "POWER GOLF"

1.-How the Hogan Grip Was. Evolved

Many goll fans are surprised to learn that I played golf left-handed when I first took up the game. Right away many left-handed golfers interpreted the fact that I now play right-handed to mean that I was of the opinion that all left-handed players should play the game from the right side, that golf is a one-sided game. But that isn't so at all.. ́ ́.

There is absolutely no reason why anybody should change over from playing golf left-handed and start learning the game all over again from the right side. Particularly now that left-handed clubs are made just as well as right-handed clubs and are as comparatively easy to get as right-handed clubs.

I changed over when I was ·
