You Don t know what to believe  once was a Guy who walked like Hogan. Talked like Hogan. Smoked like Hogan ate like Hagali thought like Hogan and hoped he Jita cd like Hagan. When he found out that Hogan practice till dark every Day he followed suit. One night he came into a bar his hands raw and bleeding and blistered and Cut from a Day on inc  lie began to sob. God i wish that Hogan wore a Glove. In real life Gardner Dickinson or. Was almost the real life version of that character. Gard nor yielded to no Man in his adoration of Hogan Gardner did i Wear d Glove either. He wore a while hat like Hogan he wore conservative Gray and Block clothing like Hogan he Chain smoked like Hogan swung like Hogan until one  1953, in the pan american open in Mexico City Hogan himself took notice of this clone and to everyone s considerable Surprise was sympathetic. Hogan uncharacteristically offered to Tutor this alter ego and recommended thai Dickinson go to Palm Springs for a remake of his game. It was like being asked to study Art under Rem Brandt for Gardner who took he next bus for a Penn s course and for the next 20 years the legend of Ben Hogan was alive and Well on the fairways of America where Gardner was the Hawk ii. And a generation of Golf fans were heard to ask is that Hogan Over there Only to be Lold no that s just Gardner Dick Inson. He just looks like  golfer Jimmy Duma ret used to like to say Gardner will never be Happy till he gels hit by a bus the resemblance did t exactly Stop at the first Lee. Gardner won eight tournaments. You gel a ticker tape Parade today for eight tournament wins but no one Ever mistook Gardner Dickinson for Ben Hogan after he hit the Ball. Gardner was Good but not immortal. You could Tell right away when he swung that it was t the real Hogan but it was a reasonable facsimile. Gardner had one habit he did t get from Hogan. He liked to help people. Old timers used to say about the Only advice they Ever got from Hogan on the course was the tip that they were away. Bui Gardner had this disturbing tendency hat he could t stand to Sec faults in other people s swings. He was a born pedagogue. It was annoying to Hagan. Ben used to Tell me. Commentary what arc you doing helping All those people taking bread off your table Why Don t you just take your Wallet full of Money and throw it out there on the practice Range Tor them to help themselves " Dickin son recalls. Gardner could t help it. Guys like Miller Barber would come up to me and say come look at me for five minutes Gardner. You Gal to came watch me 1 can t do a thing and would go out on the practice tee and slay five hours with  it was the Only thing Dickinson did that was non Hogan but i reputation As a swing doctor grew until one Day a few years ago a golfer with a problem showed up on his Doorstep in West Palm Beach Fla. This golfer did i at All put him in mind of Hagan although they were both on the Short Side and both had Blue eyes this golfer did t Wear a while hat or conservative garb but like the Young Hagan had big Trou ble with a Duck Hook. The teacher in Gardner Dickinson came out this was followed in due course by the romanticism in Gardner Dickinson he began to notice a lot More about this golfer than the swing he began to notice the golfer attached was a 5-foot. 4-Inch, 120-Poundcr with a cute nose and that if the swing was t compact the rest of Judy Clark sure was. Gardner not Only changed her game he changed her name. It was not that her game was so terminal it required a whole new alias it was More that having Judy As a Pupil was a lot More distracting than having Miller Barber even 1 Hough Judy had a slight Loop at the top of the backswing too. He married her. No one Ever thought of the wedding March As a cure for n sweep slice before. When a game needs n priest it s really in intensive care. But the Golf game was the Only part of Judy Clark in need of any repair. In High heels Judy was on life s Fairway. In cleats she kept finding herself in the deep rough. She had this built in lunge that she remembers almost coming out of her shoes at Impact. The bulls tended to behave like leaflets dropped from a High Fly her name ing plane. They came to Earth randomly often in Sand sometimes in water always in trouble. In those Days you could stay on the Lour shooting 75s and 7fis," Judy recalls. The cuts would usually be in the High 150s." for Judy this was a Good thing. When she first look her game to Gardner he was nol interest cd in her play or the player. Once he told me to go Down in a Bunker and not come out till i could get up and Down in 2," she remembers. It All came out like a Doris Day movie. Gardner might have noticed the Blue eyes and Brown legs first but he soon noticed icy came with a pretty Good Basic swing attached. She has All the tools. She should be winning out there every other week Gardner insists. She has to learn o believe in  nol even a Good marriage can lock in thai Purl of the game but the name Dickinson began o go up on a Golf Leader Board again last year and even won its first tournament in a decade when Judy topped the Lyga at the Boston five tournament last summer Judy s biggest problem was not mechanical it was mental. This professor had More to Leach her than thai the Rains in Spain stay mainly in the Plains. In their version our fair lady had to learn to overcome self consciousness to had stage fright Judy recalls. I d find myself in the Lead in a tournament and i d think of of till these people Are looking at me " Hogan used to like crowds. They framed the Green for one thing. But Judy found herself throwing away u seven Shol Lead at St. Petersburg once and Slagg Cring Down the stretch in other opens struggling not to Blush. Golf is a Gumc you can t play embarrassed to be a Good Golf teacher it helps to have a degree in clinical psychology. Fortunately. Judy s Sec Ngali did. And Mentor Dickinson soon had the new mrs. Dickinson convinced thai winning was Mure 3 state of mind than body. Judy s game improved last year to he extent she was ninth on the women s Money list with si67, and wus a Winner with a stroke average of 72 21.
