Mr. Hogan, the Man I Knew: An LPGA Player Looks Back on an Amazing Friendship and Lessons She Learned fromGolf's Greatest Legend by Eubanks, Steve. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781592406715.

An accomplished LPGA player recalls her days as an unlikely student of a living legend and the priceless lessons he taught her. As a collegiate golfer in the 1980s, rising star Kris Tschetter was fortunate enough to gain membership at Shady Oaks, one of the best courses in Texas, where Ben Hogan was a member. There was an unwritten rule at the club: Dont bother Mr. Hogan. But when the master of the game observed Tschetters constant presence on the driving range, he offered to help her with her swing. And a unique friendship began. Despite Hogans enigmatic reputation, Tschetter reveals a very different side to golfs elder statesman. On the links, he began to recall some of his fondest memories, telling his new student about his fifty-year romance with his wife, Valerie, and sharing other poignant details about his life. After Tschetter turned pro, Hogan came out to watch her play at Fort Worths Colonial Country Club-the last professional round he watched in person. Mr. Hogan, the Man I Knew is a stirring memoir of a champions final chapter and a friendship between two very different people who shared the same passion.
