Wonderful post, Coop. Thanks!



It calls to mind an old memory of when I was working with Homer Kelley on the range in Seattle in January 1982. He advised me to pull the club down from the top.

"What do I pull it with?" I asked. "My body? Arms? Hands?"

"I don't care what you pull it with. Just pull!"
