So simple a child could do it...

duh:
since I went out and got the pretty coffee mugs I also bought the hooks to hang them on.  Now for the part a child could do.  I can't get the hooks to penetrate the wood on the bottom of the shelf.  I hate hooks I can never get them to go in.  What is the trick please?  I'm hoping there is a trick otherwise I'm going to qualify as the weakest woman in the world. 

Bonnie:
Try boring a lead hole with a small drill bit, works everytime.

bayou girl:
and if you don't have a drill bit, drive a finishing nail in a little bit, then wiggle it out with your fingers. that makes a decent lead hole also.

Tina:
Both of those work. Then use something like a screwdriver wedged into the hook to finish twisting it in. That is the place where my hands give out in strength. Those last few twists are a killer.

duh:
I'm going to try your suggestions.  I bet they will work.
