In this brief biography, historical facts are blended with imaginary dialogue to place the reader into a world of professional gamblers, con artists, bootleggers, prostitutes, and street hustlers who were so much a part of the early years on the PGA tour-and part of the environment in which Hogan lived and played. It was this hard times, dog-eat-dog world that forged the disciplined work ethic that would forever hold Hogan hostage and also build the strength of character which he would need to dominate the world of golf like no one has since his rise to the top over a half century ago. Join me as I take you into this private world, and dedicate yourself to paying close attention to the facts, for they hold the key to the real secret that lies within these pages-the Secret to the Art of Winning.
