Here's a letter dated May 9, 1967, that I received from Ben Hogan in reply to my request for private lessons. At the time, I was a 21-year-old serviceman who was doing the best he could to get the information he so desperately needed.

The Golfing Machine was still two years away from its first edition, but it sure would have been great to have known of Homer Kelley way back then. And, knowing Homer, I'm sure he would have been happy to help.

In any event, I may not have gotten Ben's lessons, but at least I got his letter. And that ain't all bad!

A wonderful letter. I'd keep it in the Frame.
