Okay, first of all, Mr. Rubenstein's classification of the Yellow Book's status as being a "cult" book gets Golfworld a letter to the editor from me, and I urge all members of this forum to do the same. I'm betting that if Lynn writes one, it will be the most eloquent and most likely to be published.
Secondly, I found this paragraph from the article absolutely fascinating-
"That the Plummer-Bennett way may not be for everyone is evidenced by Jason Gore's recent return to his longtime teacher, Mike Miller, after a period with the duo. "I was trying to do something that I'm not physically able to do," says Gore, a barrel-chested man with short arms. Says instructor Jim Suttie: "Certain people are not built to do that. If you have a flexibility issue, you can't do that [swing as Plummer and Bennett advocate]."
Sounds to me(from my limited memory of Jason's swing) that they were trying to teach a hitter how to swing...
Relax- I know Lorne from my days covering sports. He is outside looking in writing this article.
The word CULT = "great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book)." I think that fits fine.
And his said it was fascinating and a Landmark book. Cool.
And if Jack says there is no Laterial shift- I don't think he means the hips don't bump- just that the center doesn't move off the ball. Goes to show what a constant Language does for teaching. And yes, Leadbetter seems like a kid left off a team in the playground because some new kids move into the neighborhood.
Gore. I'm surprised that Plummer and Bennett couldn’t develop a stroke for this guy.
Just goes the show how fortunate we all are to be able to sit alongside Yoda in the Swamp.
