In my opinion, The Golfing Machine is a great resource for those who want to teach the golf swing and, therefore, need a technical understanding of all of the possibilities so they can find a pattern that best fits their student.

As an instruction "how to" book for the average player, it is poor.

I feel , that is an extremely good point. Like what Comdpa told me. I do not have to Understand TGM and get confused by the book. Thats the job of the coach. You only need to understand how to swing it effectively. But , to me this book is so amazing. Homer Kelly is a Genious. Well its a cheaper and more effective way to stimulate my brain cells than going Karaoke or play Mahjong.

Why I written the above is simply trying to stimulate people ask themselves what is the Author's Objective of TGM . Instead of following because someone say its good or leaving because someone say its bad. I believe by asking yourselves this question, people might understand the existance of TGM, and have a better chance of deciding for themselves their own preference.

I may have lead or mislead people. But the end of the day. Analyse, think and be the captain of your ship ! Seize the day!

problem solver
Homer started out with problem to solve after playing, I believe, his first round of golf. The problem was compression- how to sustain the Line of Compression on the ball which I guess was an observation he had for to good ball striking.

Homer was a problem solver. One answer lead to other questions. After 30+ years of solving problems- the yellow book was published.

My take on it as well. I look at it this way. A lot of us have a basic idae how a car engine works, but would you really attempt serious engine work without a workshop manual that gives you all the specs, tolerances,unique language,terms and procedures? Unless you are a very experienced mechanic, probably not, and even then, you likely have a shop manual for reference. Would a shop manual be useful to a novice who barely knows how to check the oil? Probably not. Homer Kelly authored a workshop manual for the golf swing. Lynn and Ted are very experienced in the contents, and probably only use it periodically like the very esperience auto mechanic. As a tool for the novice golfer, it holds about the same value as the shop manual does for the neophyte auto mechanic.

My $.02

The only problem with not having somebody competitent is INCOMPLETE instruction through faulty translation . . . In efforts to keep things simple stuff gets omitted that is very critical to the whole . . .

BUT that being said . . . I guarantee that dude that played the senior tour that lived on a farm and played with clubs that got burnt up in a fire got it via INSTINCT.

There certainly are different ways to LEARN it . . . however . . . there has to be an OPTIMUM/more efficient way . . .

Mr. K of course almost MANDATED the use of an AI. And I'm sure there are some of them that "ain't got it."

The optimum, most efficient way for one student to learn is a waste of time for another. As an example, instructor Chuck Cook has said that he had to invent drills that would keep Payne Stewart engaged because Payne was ADD. Making 100 putts in a row from 3 feet probably wouldn't be a good drill for Payne. Apparently, Tiger loves it. Neither way is right or wrong -- depends on the student.

I would say that the best instructors are those that not only can figure out what swing pattern and techniques best fit an individual student, but also have the ability to teach it in a way that is meaningful for the student.

That's one thing I have never done well....ORGANIZED practice...

I get into random experimentation....

I mean, I practice as much as anyone prolly.....my backyard's about 70 yards long......(with power lines and then bush behind it....I pick a tree, hit balls at it then try to find em)...

Everytime I walk into my garage I end up pickig up my wedge...then end up going into the backyard....usually for about an hour sometimes more.

Not very organized tho....more manic really.....but it's pretty narrowed down now and I have learned a lot. (and dabbled in everything)
