3. Several years ago Ben Hogan was asked to film a new
commercial for his company Hogan Golf. Not too surprising
until you realise was by now in his 80’s and had not played
much golf due to ill health. On top if this, his legs were getting
worse from the car accident that almost claimed his life in the
early part of his career.
Hogan agreed and on the designated day the camera crew were
set-up alongside all the other production that was necessary for
the filming. Hogan duly arrived in his golf cart and made his way
to the teeing area.
On passing the guy in control of the golf balls he asked for only 3
balls and moved forward into position. Now Hogan never
allowed anyone to watch him practice. Famously years before
Nick Faldo was having lunch with Hogan and when he asked if
he could watch Hogan practice after lunch Hogan thanks him for
asking and said “No!”.
Everyone was expectant at the prospect of watching the great
man hit shots. After a couple of waggles he made his first swing
and ‘topped’ the ball. A noticeable hush descended as he made
another couple of waggles and made his second swing. This
time he hit the ball somewhere around the equator and the ball
fizzed down the practice area very low.

4. Finally, Hogan set-up to the third and final ball, the crew were
now concerned at what might unfold as the day progressed.
Hogan made his third swing and hit the ground too much
removing a large divot before the ball.
At this stage no-one knew where to look and some were
wondering if they might get any good footage at all for the
commercial.
Hogan turned around to face everyone and announced that he
was ready. He promptly hit shot after shot perfectly and in no
time at all the assembled crew were congratulating Hogan on a
great days shoot and pleased with what would prove to be a
successful advertising campaign.
One of the producers sidled over to Hogan at the end of the
shoot curious as to what happened with the first three shots.
Hogan explained that as it had been several months since he
had last hit a golf ball, that he needed to get his ‘eye in’. The
purpose of the first three shots was to work out where the ball
was and indeed the ground!

5. The Fosbury Flop is a style used in the
high jump. Popularized and perfected
by American athlete Dick Fosbury,
whose gold medal in the 1968
Summer Olympics brought it to the
world's attention.
Over the next few years the flop
became the dominant style of the
event and remains so today. With the
advent of deep foam matting high
jumpers were able to be more
adventurous in their landing styles and
hence experiment with styles of
jumping.

6. “The whole principle came from the
idea that if you broke down everything
you could think of that goes into riding
a bike, and then improved each by 1%,
you will get a significant increase
when you put them all together”.
We then heard about how his cyclists
wash their hands really well, slept on
the same pillow every night, and had
every aspect of their lives improved
(as well as their bikes).
Dave Brailsford

7. Bought new clubs?
Expensive option – good for
the manufacturers!
Bought books, videos, dvd’s
and magazines?
Lots of contradiction? How
do you apply the
information?
Had some lessons?
How many and how many
different coach’s and
opinions?
Did any of it work?
What will you do NEXT?

information

watching the BALL
