1. I teach The Golfing Machine® as written and taught by Homer Kelley.

2. Homer Kelley in 1-L #1 defined the Stationary Post as the player's Head.

3. Homer Kelley in 1-L #2 stated that the Stationary Post could turn (Pivot) but that it didn't Sway or Bob.

3. Homer Kelley in 9-1 illustrated that the Head can turn and not violate the concept.

4. Homer Kelley in 2-0 labeled the Stationary Head as the First Essential. He did not label it an Imperative because, as he said, "You can move your Head and still play good golf."

5. Homer Kelley in The Glossary defined the Stationary Head as the deliberate choice for the Pivot Center instead of 'between the shoulders.'

6. Homer Kelley told me personally that he chose the Head because "if you move your Head you can see more under the Ball." He also said there could be problems with using 'between the shoulders' as a center, but he did not elaborate. That discussion was recorded.

Now, the really important thing about the Pivot Center is that you have one. Few golfers do. To that end, Homer Kelley gave us a choice of two, but clearly he preferred the Head. Given everything else he has been right about, I'll go with that for now.
