About Hogan's Alley creator Bill Hogan:
a 1984 graduate of Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, holds a B.A. with a major in American History and a minor in Computer Science. He cut his teeth in the newspaper business while interning at the Roanoke Times & World News and spent five years as an assistant to the Sports Information Director at Roanoke College.

Though it would be his minor in Computer Science that would lead him to Park Avenue in New York as a programming analyst, it was his passion for history and sports and the desire to write that led to the first publication of Hogan's Alley in January, 2001.

For over three years, Hogan has honed his skills as a writer while developing a unique style for delivering interesting and accurate sports stories and has had the opportunity to cultivate an eager and loyal readership.

Writing sports from such a unique perspective is not an avocation for Hogan, it is a career choice that has enabled him to flourish as a writer, utilize his talents as a historian and mature as a sports enthusiast. Contact Bill Hogan - wfhogan@115sports.com Or visit  Hogan's Alley  Today!

Dr. Mann specializes in helping golfers of all levels play their best. Golf is a very complicated game that requires both physical and mental skills. The majority of teaching methods focus upon the mechanics and leave out the most important aspect of the game: the mental/psychological aspects. Dr. Mann combines the best of psychological approaches with yogic philosophy, meditation and breathing techniques to help free the individual from those aspects in the mind and emotions that limit peak performance.

Dr. Mann is a certified Golfpsych instructor, which is the only tour-research based system proven to help professionals play at their best. Dr. Mann has worked with PGA Teaching Professionals, Professional Tour Players, College and High School Teams and individual amateur golfers of all ages from 6 to 70. His most noteworthy golf clients include: Lee Brandon (2001 Woman's Long Drive Champion), UCLA Woman's golf team, UC Davis Men's golf team, Windward High School golf team, players from the Hooter's Tour and Men's Long Drive Competition.

Dr. Mann provides individual coaching both in person and via the telephone. He can be reached through email at mannr@ronmann.com or by telephone at 310-459-9507.
