Beautifully done. Hogan was not only the “Hawk” or as he was referred to on your side of the pond after the Open “wee ice mon”, he was and is the 🐐!!
Such a beautiful composed video. Just what I needed to make me get right in the mood for The Open this weekend. Thank you for all of your dedication and hard work.
Exceptional, documentary quality work. Good enough to be broadcasted on the Golf Channel. First class.
Great video ..beautiful courses and awesome story Andy ....what's really great is Mr.Hogan only played in one Open championship and won it on one of the most difficult courses
I love the superb quality of the narration & slow motion. Very professional. 👏 ⛳

What an amazing experience and amazing courses.
Another great video Andy. The history of these fantastic courses combined with your storytelling abilities which is the best I've ever heard makes for the most entertaining of all KZread golf channels. Nothing else even comes close. Not to mention the camera work is phenomenal. I have enjoyed watching you grow this channel into what it is today.
Love the history that you bring into the channel and quirky stories from 5he different courses, great video loving them

You’re right that it’s a special place. The clubhouse is imposing and ones history. The course is a real test if golf without being ridiculously long. Just a wonderful golf course. Craig does superb food there too.
Absolutely fantastic story telling Andy. Love your videos, keep up the great work.
So well done. Great story telling to go along with your play. Awesome presentation.

Beautiful video. Brings back alot of memories. My greatest achievement in 3 rounds at Panmure, Carnoustie and St Andrews was to avoid all bunkers at all costs. I must say Carnoustie is the toughest course I've ever played in 15 years.
Another amazing video, Andy! I am a huge golf history nut and being able to play these holes vicariously through you is a true blessing. Thank you, Mate.

Thanks for the video Andy...it takes me back. It's 2007 and I followed In Hogan's footsteps on my trip to Scotland first playing Panmure, the Burnside, and finally three rounds on the big course. I also managed several rounds on Montrose 1562 Medal...special days indeed!
Brilliant Vlog with great commentary.
Stunning video and documentary. The greatest golfer is a debate that will run forever. Nicklaus has it on results but Hogan's grit and determination to dig it out of the dirt certainly gives him a claim on the title. What would he have won if not stopped by the war and then physical restrictions following the accident when at his peak? Truly remarkable!
Great video! If you are doing everything - music, camera work, editing - wow! Keep up the great work!
What a great vlog. Love your style, with that distinct accent, great filming and some history to boot. Nothing further to say Andy!

Texas produced many great golfers over the years, but none greater than Hogan. In '53 he was the man. Nice video work.
I have read 5 lessons many times, inspired to follow in the footsteps so Panmure and Carnoustie a must visit . . . in my younger days it was Judith Chalmers (watching with my mum) that created dreams of exciting travel destinations . . . now it’s the average golfer
Another entertaining and very informative film Andy. Really enjoyed it. I'm sure that your 50k subscribers will be delighted to see it.
Fantastic, brilliant video and great theme music.

Great video Andy. I’m fortunate to be playing Carnoustie on the Monday after the Women’s Open finishes. Can’t wait.
Awesome course. Would love to play it someday. You're a lucky man. Enjoy
Well done, sir. Well done.
Andy. A great report on Carnoustie and Panmure. I wonder how many majors Hogan might gave won if he hadn't had the accident?

There is a certain purity to golf in the United Kingdom that you just don't find here in the United States. The UK is truly the home of golf, and Ben Hogan is one of the patron saints of the game.
This is beautifully edited.

Great short film Andy. Been a fan of Hogan since I first picked up The Modern Fundamentals of Golf. Played both Panmure and Carnoustie Championship in the early 90's. Back at Panmure in August, can't wait.
Beautiful venues Andy, I grew up near there. Ben Hogan, greatest golfer ever to play the game with Bobby Jones a close second imho
There is an old story of golfers playing Carnoustie for the first time. After several difficult and struggling holes, one of the golfers asked his caddy, "When do the holes get easier?" The caddy aptly replied, "When you get to St Andrews."

Play Carnoustie every year and the Burnside is a fantastic course.
Andy - good content and visuals as usual. If you fancy a guest appearance in our Wallasey Cricket Club Golf Society (filmed or just for fun) then you would be more than welcome. Upcoming on the WCCGS Race To Menai schedule is Aldersley Green, Prestatyn, Bull Bay and the finale at Holyhead GC
Thank you for a Beautiful insight of those beautiful courses, Mr Hogan's is no doubt my favorite, just an Amazing life story for Mr Hogan's, anyway I don't know you except from your channel but I'd like to invite you to play a few courses in New York,when you stated it's like no other game because we can play the courses the Professional play, so if and when your in the states I'd like to take you on a journey we can start on Trumps courses to warm up then off to Bethpage Black and will End at Shinnecock country club, that's easiest to the Hardest I believe ,I've played them all before.im a Average Golfer by the way, 1 hole I look like I could be on the tour and the next hole is like I've never swung a golf club lol ! Anyway I'm sure you can get in touch with me thru this posting, it would be my pleasure, just from watching your videos and this channel I know your commitment towards the game and your heart are in the right places! Thanks again loved watching this look back in time! Keep it up really nice job! Honesty goes a long way!

Alasdair Lindsay Robertson, a very fine golfer, played with Hogan the first time he played Panmure. On the first hole, a short par 4, Hogan duck-hooked his tee shot behind the shed to the left of the first green. Hogan took a five, an uncharacteristic five.
Well, you beat van de Velde by 1 on the last. Job well done!!!!

If those stands had not been up at the 18 hole in 1999, Van de Velde would have won The Open.
A video about Hogan where you don't even see Hogan!!
We’ll produced video and story
The most difficult course in the world is Carnoustie. Jack Nicklaus
Irritating
Ben hogan was a arrogant self-absorbed person not a nice man I wish he didn’t win the open

Did you know him personally?
Hogan is the greatest golfer over the age of 30, and likely would have won 90-100 tournaments if not for the accident, and losing two years to WWII. Bobby Jones and Woods the two greatest under 30 years. (Sorry Jack, it is what it is!)
