Alignment Golf has a language developed by Homer Kelley. One of his greatest of his many great contributions.

But we try to understand Alignments through Positions, because that's the only language we understand. Me too. But once I learned a few Alignments, then a few more and more, it's becoming clearer. Now I look for Alignments and I can tell if someone is out of position. What's next? I don't know.

If you have a Motion that is suitably Aligned (probably learned Mechanically if you studied around here) then its just you and your Computer. You are free and your game will truly take flight. The brain and the hands doing their thing like only they can do. There are guys that can juggle three balls and there are guys that can juggle a torch, a chainsaw and a sword. These latter types are not thinking about how to do it, they are merely doing it, sensing, feeling, directing.

When things are off for me and I get tired of tinkering around I just put my brain in my firm pressure points #'s 1,2 and swing the hands, my view of the ball and clubhead set to soft focus. Good things often result. I keep having to re learn this lesson. Swing the hands. Dont stare at the ball or watch the clubhead peripherally unless you want to Steer it. If you're going to look at anything make it a soft focus on the Aiming Point......the ball or for me ahead of the ball for a wedge and behind the ball for a driver.


I think whats next is a way to get mid handicappers to use their brain/hands to greater advantage. Earlier in their education than they might think possible. To turn off the "how to" barrier which they are often ready to do but dont. You can take a 10 handicap for instance, get him to hit shots and call out various shots when he's at the Top of his swing. "Fade" and he will fade it. "Draw" and he will draw it. It will take a few balls to turn their old ways off, but it does work. This drill doesnt give them enough time to employ their usual methods and reinforces their brain to hand relationship and ability.............which they normally over ride and ignore, unless they are really "on their game" so to speak. Their good games are not just mechanically better but often I think coincide with a brief relaxing of "how to" that allows the Computer to take control. I think that most golfers are actually better than they realize or actually show. Motion can bring all of this out. Strangely, the Melhournes and McDoanlds, the founding fathers of modern golf instruction knew this. More from the "nothings new anymore" file.

My personal contribution to this effort will be the invention of the invisible golf ball and clubhead. Only at separation will they appear to the naked eye. Steering will be removed from the game of golf. Also working on a golf ball that looks like a daisy. Im very close to finishing the cloaking device and things are very exciting right now. Havent seen my assistant Mike O. in few days but one of my golf balls keeps cracking the weirdest jokes about Bucket. Strange.

Oberding, why would you leave us behind? We're only dancing on this earth for a short time...............
