Bio Mechanics.

Wow, a lot of stuff has popped up on the web using or talking in terms of Bio Mechanics to help understand and improve ones Golf Swing.

I could be totally wrong, but didn't bio mechanics lead to "position golf"?

I think golf instruction may have taken a wrong turn with the introduction of photos to golf instruction books. The Melhournes and McDonalds etc of the twenties or earlier promoted a motion not a series of positions.

I imagine the pros of the 1940's looking at the photos that were to accompany their books and sort of writing something like "Well alright, here I am at the top of my swing, my club is parallel to the ground now". Despite the fact that what they'd actually feel, sense, direct was something totally different. The positions were real alright but the pros swings couldnt be replicated by merely copping their positions.

And so here we are back at the beginning in a way. Golf is a motion. Although Homer has given us Geometry and Alignments. This reminds me of something, not sure what?
