LONG GOLF HITTER
While watching Ben Hogan, the leam ,han} Texhn, hit a golf ball I began wondering again how so little weight and so little physical bulk can generate such terrific force, states Grantland pice, well-known American sports writer. WKen Hogan steps on the scales, the weight registers 1401 b. to 1451 b. He is around sft. 6in. in height. And yet he can outdrive most of the giants of golf by 20yds. to 40yds. As a matter of fact, Hogan is close on Jimmy Thompson’s heels, and Thompson is still the longest driver of them all
