This guy in California decided to replicate his swing completely after Ben Hogen after years of playing less than average Golf.

His journey is interesting.  While his swing isn't completely identical to Hogan's, it sure is close.  Apparently, this project has enabled him to now consistently score in the low 70s.

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

The main similarity seems to be the hat...

Better than most I have seen.  A little more work on stance and posture would result in not quite as flat a backswing.  I do believe there are lots of golfers that use Hogan as a swing model, not just 2.

    • They need to do something to speed  up play. They could randomly  time  players. One  idea would  be  if a group gets  out  of  position they are disqualified. If its a group of  3 and  its  1 player playing like  molasses i can imagine an exciting interaction, lol
    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
