Ben Hogan - The Authorised Biography:
Intimate, eloquent and definitive, James Dobsons magisterial biography, the first to be authorised by Hogans family, reveals the remarkable and complex character behind a golfer legendary for his inscrutable, steely public persona.

He shows how the dauntless determination and retiring demeanour that saw Hogan to four US Open victories masked a man haunted by a long-buried childhood tragedy, and brings out the miracle of his fight back after a catastrophic car accident to win the masters, US Open and Open all in 1953.

And he uncovers a rarely seen Hogan: a warm, jovial man with a charitable spirit and sharp business sense.

Follow the Sun - The Ben Hogan Story Feature Film:
This a PAL Region 2 DVD, running for 93 minutes, and in black & white.

Young Texas-born Ben Hogan was a caddy with a dream and the determination to make it come true. His first attempt at the professional golf tour failed. On his second attempt, with only a few dollars to his name, Ben Hogans relentless practicing began to pay off. And so began an eight-year climb to the pinnacle of golf.

In the prime of his career, a crippling automobile accident threatens to end it all. Few doctors believe that he will walk again, but Hogan risks everything to once again be champion. And in doing so, wins the hearts of all America.

'Follow the Sun' is an inspiring true story starring Ann Baxter, Dennis OKeefe, June Havoc, and Glenn Ford as the courageous man behind the legend, Ben Hogan.
