I once seen an interview with Jerry Lewis where he claimed to have played off scratch. Dunno if its true or not, seen him a couple of times on Shell's Wonderful World of Golf and he didn't look like a scratch player.
Didn't think Hogan would have lampooned himself like that, I guess it shows he wasn't such a serious guy after all!
Koc, I'm sure you already have this, but my christmas present to myself is "Ben Hogan - A life" by James Dodson
