Taken from Al Barkow's site. ( http://albarkow.com )

One descriptive Hogan used is amusing:

“To verify a correct backswing, at the top of the backswing the groin muscle on the inside of your right leg near your right nut will tighten. This subtle feel of tightness there tells you that you [can make] the correct move back to the ball.”

" I never played in a $100,000 tournament in my entire life. I went broke twice...and had to take odd jobs just to try again. It stops you when you can't eat or pay your caddie "
