All is okay, Javier. And many thanks for this link. It must be new, because there is little functionality.
I can only hope that my old friend, Bobby Shave, co-author of Golf Secrets Exposed, is behind this site in some way. If so, you can expect to see and hear a lot more from him soon. I'll make some calls.
On Bill Mehlhorn (1898-1988 ), listen to Ben Hogan:
"The best I ever saw from tee-to-green was Bill Mehlhorn. He was a fantastic hitter of the ball. I played with him once when he hit his second shot two feet from the hole. He then played his fourth shot out of a bunker. It was inspiring to see the man hit a ball. But it was pathetic to watch him puttt. I've always said that there are two different games: hitting the ball and putting. Well, he showed me."
Regarding Bill's ball-striking ability, take a look at his Finish photo on their Home Pagewww.mehlhorngolf.com.
Just read the new book, The Secret of Hogan's Swing by
Tom Betrand. Betrand was an assistant to John Schlee,
one of the few to receive personall instruction from Hogan.
According to Schlee, the missing link to Hogan's secret is
a rotation of the left elbow toward the left hip to square
the clubface through impact. The book lists, in order of time,
the other concepts of the secret by othe authors and players.
An iteresting mention is the arms turned in at address.
Schlee says that Hogan did not do it due to physical problems
due to the accident, but did bring the arms close together
later in his swing. The middle of the book rambles along
about the troubled life of John Schlee. Pictures of Betrand,
showing the Hogan fundementals, were a little overdone. For
those interested in Hogans Secrets, the book may give you
some things to think about.

Thanks for the post, Donn. Interestingly, I had always been interested in knowing more about John Schlee in his later years. I knew it was a sad story, but until now, didn't know much about it. I'm glad to have learned...the rest of the story.
I read the book in a sitting at Barnes & Noble. The Power Package alignments should come with a warning label. Regarding Hogan 'secrets' and the mystique surrounding them, all I can say is...
