Golf Champion Ben Hogan Merion Pennsylvania

Description

Golf Champion Ben Hogan Merion Pennsylvania is a tribute to an incredible person. I am not a Golf painter by a longshot, but I came across the life story of Mr. Hogan and his wife Valerie. It’s a beautiful inspiring story. I admire people that are loyal and have long marriages. My grand parents were married for 68 years. They have been my inspiration. 

In this world today there is so much drama and failed relationships and marriages and the world of sports is affected by it too. So when I read Mr. Hogan’s story, how he came back from a near fatal accident to play golf again. I had to read more about him. I was left very impressed and decided I had to paint this oil painting. You can see that under his right pantlegs he is wearing a brace, support he still needed because of the accident.

EXCERPT WIKI “Ben Hogan is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest ball strikers who ever played golf. Although he had a formidable record with 64 PGA tour victories, it is Hogan’s ball-striking ability that mostly underpins his modern reputation. Hogan was known to practice more than any of his contemporary golfers and is said to have “invented practice”. On this matter, Hogan himself said, “You hear stories about me beating my brains out practicing, but… I was enjoying myself. I couldn’t wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I’m hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it’s a joy that very few people experience. He was also one of the first players to match particular clubs to yardages, or reference points around the course such as bunkers or trees, to improve his distance control. END OF EXCERPT Read more
