Ben Hogan: A Tribute

Ben Hogan SI cover
6 of 12
March 11, 1957

cover illustration by Anthony Ravielli

"There isn't enough daylight in any day to practice all the shots you need to. You have to get up early, and if a fellow practiced the way he should, he can't be going around to parties. You have to practically live like a hermit to get sufficient rest.

"I have never achieved what I thought was success. Golf to me is a business, a livelihood in doing the thing that I like to do. I don't like the glamour. I just like the game."

Conversation with Joan Flynn Dreyspool,
Sports Illustrated, June 20, 1955
