BEN HOGANPeople have always been telling me what I can’t do. I guess I have wanted to show them. That’s been one of my driving forces all my life.
BEN HOGANYou hear stories about me beating my brains out practising, but the truth is, I was enjoying myself. I couldn’t wait to get up in the morning, so I could hit balls. When I’m hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it’s a joy that very few people experience.
