I think from time to time we all get infected with the idea that there is one right way or best way to play this gaime. That there is one way to get to a perfect swing. I certainly plead guilty as charged.

Then I think back to a video of Hogan saying "I knew my swing wasn't the best out here. That is why I outworked 'em." And I recall hearing video of a younger Yoda talking with Homer on the phone, asking about the best way of several aspects of the swing. From Homer's perspective, there were options and combinations, not one best way! That flexibility is what makes TGM so fresh and adaptable. I see Ted Fort on the net questioning a BioKinetic expert about complex hip movements. The challenge is not to find the one best way. It is to seek out the way that works the best for each of us.
Geez, I love this game. And this site!

It's just like building spaceships and going into space. Lot's of different options but you need to follow certain principles. Or quoting Homer Kelley- and in somewhat more of a limited example he says "....for people-shaped golfers, there is actually only "one swing,", as depicted in Chapter 8 and discussed in Chapter 7. Just for clarification "seeking out the way that works the best for each of us", doesn't mean anything goes or there is no right or wrong. So, to my fellow poster in beautiful Ohio , I'm not saying you said that or implied that - but I'm just clarifying for anyone that might read that might get that impression- that anything goes- which isn't the case. At least, that's my 2 cents. Staying on the Philosophy thread for a minute- I'm not a fan of Pragmatism either- even if it is somewhat popular.
