Summary: This is an incredible book!
Review: Ben Hogan was an incredible golfer and a fine human being. There should be no debate as to who was the greatest golfer of all time. It is Ben Hogan, hands-down. As author Thomas so aptly quotes in his book, "Hogan's legs were simply not strong enough to carry his heart around." This book not only reveals Ben Hogan's "secret", but it shows what *really* made Hogan great ... and what it means to be a champion. An excellent, inspiring read

Review: Finishing a great book always leaves me with mixed feelings. Gratitude that I found and read the book, tinged with sadness because the experience is over. Finishing this book was a sad event for me. I envy those who find and read this book in the future. I wish I could read it, for the first time, again.

Summary: Attempted meltdown of the Iceman's psyche
Review: Hogan's demeanor has longed perplexed all the golfing faithful who see Ben's consistency something elusive in our own games. This biographical fiction attempts to look inside this golfing giant to see what drove this man to the achievements without all the media posturing the modern athlete performs. Innovative and pertinent to all Hogan fans.

Summary: Laughable!
Review: I can't believe the good reviews this book has gotten here on Amazon. In my opinion, this book is so far fetched it's laughable. It vaguely hits upon factual events in Hogan's life and it is written as if by (and for) an elementary school child. I know it is a fictionalized story, but it's based on a real person and therefore must remain somewhat grounded in reality. Unfortunately, it does not. This book is incredibly trite and simplistic and makes Ben Hogan appear as an insecure, confused little boy...

Summary: A Good Read
Review: I read and enjoyed "Ben Hogan's Secret." I too read the first chapter on the website and decided to purchase the book. I enjoyed reading about the camaraderie between Hogan and Bobby Jones. It was interesting how Jones helped Hogan believe in himself as a golfer. I recommend adding this book to any golfer's library.

Summary: A very entertaining book
Review: There have been several books lately which address themselves to the spiritual side of golf. As an avid golfer, I understand. Ben Hogan was certainly one of the four or five greatest golfers of all time and this book gives a fan some insight as to how he achieved his greatness
