Great point on the hands.

My favorite quote in "The Golfing Machine" is actually in the Preface p.XI of the seventh edition. Homer states, "The number one alignment is the flate left wrist. The flat left wrist is a golfing imperative. Without it, more information means only more confusion."

The Flat Left wrist is Clubface Control. I believe when the PGA of America states Clubface Control is on a 2 to 1 ratio of importance to path. They are in line with what I believe Homer is saying. You must learn to control the clubface first and to do that you must have a geometrically flat left wrist at impact.

I am not to concerned about what the PGA of America states how about the universal laws of force and motion. Many people state things. Mr. Kelley has laid an outstanding system before us. Gravity is Gravity!

The LBG Homecoming Classic will be a learning experience par excellence and a homecoming for all those who have supported and benefited from our work these past four years. It is no surprise that the current field of 32 participants is almost equally divided between amateurs and professionals.

Lucky amateurs . . . they want to learn.

Lucky professionals . . . they want to teach and learn.

And with just a few clicks . . .

Jeff,

The universal laws of force and motion, geometry and physics are what every teacher should teach, and Homer has done a great job of laying it out for us.

However we can also use the catalog to validate or discount other sources that is the beauty of The Golfing Machine.

As a PGA of America Member I found this statement interesting and wanted to share it with the Lynn Blake Golf community. To do just that validate or discount it.

I have found looking at other sources of information has improved my understanding of The Golfing Machine either by seeing their mistakes or symmetry to Homer's great work.

Have a great time at Cuscowilla.
