    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 🐐!!

    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!

    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!)
