Understanding Ben Hogan's Golf Swing By Matt Christian
This a unique photo of Ben Hogan because he's in a neutral or slight draw position at impact vs he's normally in a cut position in many pictures, that's why this is my favorite
My mentor Paul Bertholy described the right arm at impact should be bent like a dogs hind leg as you can see above
Note
1. Right Shoulder Plane
2. Hips and shoulders synced and opening 25-35 approximate more importantly they are SYNCED
3. Right Elbow bent and under the left arm
4. Wrists have not prematurely broken at impact, they are stable for face control
5. He's attacking towards the golf ball which is opposite of amateurs
I personally use this image in my head when hitting balls sometimes and the results are amazing, good things happen when you think of this image

How To Become A Better Ballstriker
This is so very simple.
Most people train only fullswing, so this means full length of swing and at full speed. This means they are very limited on developing feel, timing and ballstriking..
The way I train all my players from tour players to raw novice golfers is to find the length of swing that the player starts to struggle with and correct it there 1st. Correcting the small swing will correct the big swing, I've seen it 1000s of times
When training the small swings try to slow the overall speed down so you can feel what you are trying to do in the swing
I can tell you for a fact it's not your fullswing that's killing your game it's the short swing that's killing your game
Work with a SW from 30 yards out and hit as many as it takes until you can repeat it over and over, then take it to 60 yards and so on.
A Swing is a swing so fix the short one 1st and good luck

How To Become A Good Golfer Top 5 Things To Do
1. Look to play with better competition. Find a skins game or a competitive group that currently plays much better than you and ask them if you can get in their group. If they say no, ask them even it's just every once when a while. They will probably allow you at least once. If they don't tell them you want like to play them for a friendly wager, money talks to good players. Every competitive group will have some for of money at stake and that's a great thing to motivate you to get better. I'm not advising playing these guys for lots of cash, just something friendly to get you nervous so you can see how you compete
2. Practice your up and down game with one ball only so basically you chip or pitch or lob a shot then putt it out. Making a 2 is par for the hole and if you hole the shot that would be a birdie Play 18 holes on a practice chipping green and find all kinds of different shots and try to get up and down all 18 times in a row. This is extremely tough, but is doable. Harvey Pennick used to really advocate this game and one of my mentors Rob Rennell also advised this practice, Rob actually built an 18 hole short game practice course and called it Runyans run, named after the great Paul Runyan. All of Rob's juniors had some of the best short games I'd ever seen. Once you get to where you only shoot 1 to 3 over every time you play the game, then you will be on your way to playing and beating the guys in the better groups. Make sure you make the 18 difficult so it makes you hit all the shots.
3. Develop a tournament schedule to start the year by playing in a min of 10 tourneys in a 1 year period. Try to only play 4balls or individual tourneys although scrambles are better than nothing, but be careful not to rely on your partners or try things you would not try playing your own ball.
4. Practice your golf specific fitness, really try to develop full mobility of the hips and shoulders, work on loosening the muscles around the neck and back as well. Most men in general are strong enough physically to smash the ball, but the lack of flexibility really cuts into that power due to restrictions of rotation, mostly in the upper body. Limited flexibility can kill your power even if your very strong all over, this is because your playing a rotational throwing sport. I always suggest martial arts training kickboxing and grappling really open up your body to be able to move well in the swing
5. Mentally see yourself as the level of golfer that you want to be. Visualize every night before you go to bed seeing yourself playing great golf, winning tournaments and also just enjoying the game itself. Most all great players visualize playing the golf course in their head the night before playing the tournament which is great, but It's more important to me as seeing yourself becoming the player you want to become as well and seeing it as there is no other way.

I will be playing competition golf again in 2015
I will be training next year to play the tour again in actually 2016, from now until Jan 2016 I will be training, playing and preparing in all aspects to be the absolute best player I can be.
It will start with some state open events 1st to see how well I compete, then I will determine what tour I will be competing on.
I don't have a target tournament date yet, but I will soon. I believe all competition golfers should create a plan of attack to reaching their goals.
In the meantime I will continue running and operating my business Elite Golf Performance based in Austin,Texas
Currently I'm training primarily fitness and swing training, as the year comes to an end I will be playing 5-6 days per week along with tons of short game, but for now I'm building the machine
Kettlebells/Bodyweight training are of my main focus. Gaining strength, speed, flexibility and balance is of my main concern, we can only do what our bodies allow. I'm currently pretty good in all areas of fitness, but I will be taking that to a new level over the next few years.
I train everyday on actually the online training program that I built, I guess a way to look at all of this is i will be putting my money where my mouth is so to speak. Without pitching a sales line, I can tell you that the online program I built http://elitegolfperformance.net/3_day_class/ and it is truly the best training program on the market and my training for the tour we be based off of it and nothing else. I will be training exactly what I preach and exactly how my students are training in the program.
The playing of competition again excites me and will be fun seeing where I stand and what I need to do to get to the highest level in competition. Tough road, but i have the talent and knowledge to accomplish it
