The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
hjack... the pictures are great. I played SO back in '85 and had the pleasure of having dinner with Mr. Hogan (I was a staff member back then). Didn't see his locker or score card, but, he was alive then and perhaps they did all this stuff after his passing. I remember him being very gracious and full of stories. I did, however, sneak into the bagroom and I was able to get a good look at his clubs in the rack. That was fun...-D
Very nice pictures. Just goes to show how well prepared Hogan was.
Those that fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
Hogan also didn't like playing with "hacks" as he called them can be seen with the company he played with the day he shot his age; high score in the group was a 76. Bill Flynn, the last name on the scorecard was one of Hogan's long-time shag caddies and later in life friend.
