Ben Hogan has been acknowledged as the greatest ball-striker ever by Jack Nicklaus but didn't know anything about Hogan's secret which he revealed to Life Magazine in 1955.

Where else to get the best golf tips than from the top instructor on the planet? Golf Digest (and Golf for Beginners) taps Butch Harmon's knowledge about chipping techniques around the green.
