Gerry Hogan, Golf teacher

or, Where to learn how to swing a golf club. Properly. Permanently.

Gerry Hogan in teaching mode

In 1992, in a frenzy of agony about my golf swing, then in a severe downward spiral, I came across a book called simply GOLF, by Gerry Hogan. On the front cover, it also claimed to be "the most revolutionary golf book you will ever read". Well, I thought, that's a bold claim. Though skeptical, I bought it. It was a very good decision.

It was, as I wrote to Gerry a little later, a truly original book, that threw out much of the baggage of decades of golf teaching. Golf teaching that had not worked for me, for one. It also encompassed some very good physics. As I'm trained in physics, this appealed greatly, as it made sense of the golf swing for me for the first time.

My letter to Gerry was the start of a great friendship. In the five years I've known him, Gerry has been on an odyssey to bring his message from the rolling pastures of Armidale in rural New South Wales to the world. He has produced a revolutionary golf club shaft, some very fine clubs, and an exceptional video on learning golf.

I've been on at him for a year or two to get onto the Internet. I'm delighted to say that he now has his own site at http://www.hogangolf.com/. Have a look at it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
