Enlighten us AJ "Tom" DG. What famous golfers did he teach? While he mostly taught women, he did do limited work with Lawson Little and George "Pete" Bostwick. Your Point? BTW, some of the successful women he work with were Virginia Van Wie and Marion Hollis. The golfer I'm refering to is the one and only Sam Snead. Checkout the approach of both Ben and Sam at the end of the "Shell's Wonderful World of Golf" the match between Sam and Ben. For more details on Sam's approach, buy Sam's book "Sam Snead Teaches You His Simple "Key" approach to GOLF"...Sam triggers the swing down with the last two fingers of his left hand. Ernest Jones references using the left hand to control the swing (page 65 of the Golf Digest edition of "Swing the Clubhead"...Ernest Jones references Sam Snead's golf swing in the book). Tom Tomasello references the left hand (10-24-E a wrist throw utilizing the left hand)...the right arm and wrist are passive) as "ONE" way to swing a golf club (It appears it was very lucrative for Mr. Snead). I say the model for the 12-2-0 Swinging Stroke pattern is more of a Sam Snead model than Ben Hogan....no doubt. Slammin Sam....I'm sorry, I've done my homework!!!
