Using that intellectual approach as to what represents a "scientific endeavour", I think that TGM theory regarding the golf swing is a "scientific endeavour" in the sense that TGM theory can be tested for its verifiability and falsifiability quotients.

Therein lies the rub... "CAN BE" as in have not yet which is conjecture. It implies 'thesis' an not yet worthy of the term 'theory'. Then there are those thesis' in the book, the very premises can be dismissed. The Centrifugal force bit for instance.... physicists all agree... in the real world CF doesn't exist... its a mental construct, a fudge factor that is useful in the analysis of non-inertal i.e. rotating systems. Golf is played on terra-firma... not inside a centrifuge.

I stand by my assertion its starts with problem statement or at-least conjecture. Then assemblage of all known facts... then development of the thesis'

Anyway... I'm going under for fear of being purged... PM if you wish to discuss work (as in the physics sense) or anything else for that matter.
