Ben Hogan is a legend in golf. Hogan was born in 1912 and overcame an arduous childhood to become one the greatest golfers of all time. The dedication of the “Wee Ice Mon” and his unwavering work ethics were unparalleled. Hogan won nine major championships in his career. This included four U.S. Opens, two Masters, two PGA Championships and one Open Championship. In 1953, Hogan won all three majors that he entered: the Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship.
Ben Hogan founded the golf equipment firm that bears his own name in 1953. The company’s iron models are easily recognizable by equipment enthusiasts — Precision, Apex Power Thrust Edge…
Ben Hogan Foundation CEO Robert Stennett and the Ben Hogan Foundation have generously donated prototype clubs from Hawk’s Private Reserve to the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Andrew Tursky , who is a member of the team, spoke to Stennett last year and saw prototypes for woods, irons and putters .
It was interesting to see the proto-hybrid, shown below, from the 1960s.
We were lucky to see some of Hogan’s personal clubs and prototypes at the Colonial tournament this year. Below are a few.
