... I think are something Mr. Doyle quotes often, and are probably from one of the early editions. The three HAND IMPERATIVES.
On 30th April 2006 Yoda wrote the following ( i forget the thread title)....
"...there were actually Eight Imperatives in the 2nd and 3rd editions!
The first five referenced above did not have a paragraph reference of their own. Instead, they appeared in the first paragraph of 2-0 General. And then there were...
The Three Hand Action Imperatives of 6-H-0 written in all capitals:
A. ALLOW NOT THE SLIGHTEST UNINTENTIONAL CHANGE OF PRESSURE POINT PRESSURE;
B. ALLOW NOT THE SLIGHEST MOVE TO PREPARE TO SWING THE CLUB FROM THE WRIST;
C. ALLOW NOT THE SLIGHTEST PREPARATION TO BRING THE HANDS TO A STOP.
These Three Hand Imperatives found their ultimate identity as Quitting, the Second of the Four Snares. They now exist only as a memory and as the genesis of 3-F-7-B. Like 'Dear Old Great-Grandad,' they are gone, but not forgotten.
And now you know...
The rest of the story!"
Yoda was adding to Golfingrandy's post which stated..
"The 5 Imperatives showed up in the 2nd Edition:
1) Stationary Head
2) Balance
3) Rhythm
4) Flat Left Wrist
5) Clubhead Lag"
I have not read the Golf Digest article yet.
