here's where you can look to find out more about the Hogan.  They needed
something like this years ago.  If your not close to a regular tour event
chances are the Hogan tour has an event close by.  Spectating is great at
these events with the only difference in the level of play being consistency,
but then isn't that the key.

Abstract     Ben HOGAN, golf's most famous recluse, has launched the Ben 
             HOGAN TOUR.  The 30-city TOUR was designed so that financially 
             strapped professionals on the fringe of the PGA TOUR could 
             drive from site to site.

Abstract     Many players on the Ben HOGAN TOUR, such as Massachusetts 
             resident Andy Morse, say that the most hazardous part of 
             playing the golf TOUR is the constant car travel to 
             tournaments.
