What Jackie Burke Jr. Said.........
.....in his new book, It's Only A Game: Words and Wisdom From a Lifetime in Golf, which is excerpted in the latest issue of Golf Digest.

1) At no time in the backswing should the back of the left hand face the ground

2) Late in the downswing try to extend your arms. They should feel like they're straining to leave the shoulder sockets.

3) Pretend the ball is divided into four quadrants. Hammer a nail into the quadrant nearest your right foot.

Sounds familiar.

He also talks about how Hogan always played from a constant ball position which was a few inches inside his left heel. He once asked Hogan why he didn't move the ball around and Hogan said "I'm not good or smart enough to do that." According to Burke, Hogan altered his ball flight by varying how far his hands were ahead of the ball at address and impact.

He also has a disdain for instructors on The Golf Channel who take calls from viewers and tries to correct their problems.

Looks like an interesting read.
