Ben Hogan: The Myths Everyone Knows, the Man No One Knew [Hardcover]

Ben Hogan’s accomplishments on the golf course are the stuff of legends, but his life off it was exceedingly private. In this biography, author Tim Scott demonstrates why such public perception was not representative of Hogan’s personality, offering a firsthand glimpse into the famous golfer’s humor and sensitivity. Hogan wasn’t perfect, and many of his fine qualities were never made public until now, as Tim Scott shares his personal experience with Hogan as well as Hogan’s friends, family, and acquaintances. Along the way, a clearer picture emerges of Hogan as a man, a golfer, a friend, and a husband.

Tim Scottworked at the AMF Ben Hogan Company from 1969 to 1982. During his last eight years at the company he was the vice president of sales and marketing, a position that allowed him to work closely with Ben Hogan. Scott is a graduate of DePauw University and The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. He and his family and reside in Fort Worth, Texas.
