Q and A with Homer Kelley. Fact vs Illusion, Golfs problem.
Quote:
The Homer Kelley Conversation
Clubhead Line of Flight (2-N-0) - That was one short paragraph in the First Edition (1969); it has grown and takes up a couple of pages now.

One of the things I point out is that the Clubhead Path is an optical illusion when you look down on it. When you look down you see it across the Plane Line and see a curve when actually you are dealing with a Plane Line and what you see is a Clubshaft Plane and what you are interested in is the Sweet Spot Plane.
Is there any question about that optical illusion?

The "Facts" and the "Illusions" - It is what the eyes see that has been the problem in Golf.
The above is a taken from an audio recording of a 1982 Masters class conducted by Homer Kelley.

The entire transcription of this discussion on 2-N-O can be found here on John Furze's (PGA Australia, GSED) website:

This is very good reading for the Hitter using the Angle of Approach. Although Im still scratching my head.

Maybe I should have put this in Lukes section? Go ahead and move it if you want to, Mr Admins.

One can only wonder who recorded this and who asked some of these great questions?
