    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 🐐!!

    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!

    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 UA-cam 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.

    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!

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!

    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.

    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!)
