Actually, Jack Grout was a student of Henry Picard. Who, in turn, was a student of Alex Morrison. Which makes Jack Nicklaus a Morrison student 'twice removed.' Alex Morrison was a revolutionary in his day. So much so that his concepts survive to our own: -- The Stationary Head as taught to Jack N. by Jack G. holding a handful of ten-year-old hair. -- Balance as taught through the Rolling of the Ankles back and through. -- The Pivot and Arm Swing combining as the Rotational Power of Centrifugal Force.The genealogy extends to those influenced by the first Authorized Instructor of The Golfing Machine, Ben Doyle: -- 'Ben behind his student' on video was motivated by 'Alex behind (then Tour-Star) Henry' for the cameras of a Morrison book. -- Ben's Right Foot pidgeon-toed Address Routine is another page right out of the same book.Be grateful for those who have gone before: We stand on the shoulders of giants. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
