Impact. Everything in the golf swing comes down to impact. Impact. You can get there a thousand different ways, but Impact is what separates a great ball striker from a hack.

A PGA pro is a very good ball striker, but he's a great, very great Golfer.

Daryl,

I respectfully disagree. Having taught thousands of beginners, impact is what causes them to fail, in a sense it is steering. I think the fact that Homer did not make it a station means that we should never try to create impact, only use it as analyses of the motion. Address, top, finish, in that order with no wobble and in balance. When I teach students to pass through finish on plane with lag pressure, impact takes care of itself.

As far as tour pros go, use what is good and disregard the rest. Once again, Focus on the the triad and you can't go wrong.
