1) In a fight, everyone is sore, even the winner. Make the other guy give up and pass out, first! Hit the ball next to the pin as often as it takes then put it in the hole! Hit past trouble in front of greens, one club more!

2) Check your brush spot! Ball is in front of it. Aim point in front of shorter irons and even or behind longer clubs. (Crapsmacker will work as go to-structure and Power Package transfer! Simple!)

3) Do Hogan. LLW, TSP, MBH, RFT, EA, left forearm swivel, straighten the right arm! (Just do Hogan, Yoda, Fort). On plane, hit through the ball, It works, do it! Never stop doing it! Hogan limped as he beat the worlds best! You have the limp, now get the championships! Compete and win!

4) Remember, they must see excellence to believe it!

nderstood sooner..."it is absolutely MANDATORY that, Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm--not just the Right Hand and/or Clubshaft--that must be thrown, or driven, into Impact per 7-2-3." Specifically I am referring to "thrown, or driven".

Are there any other (all capital letter'd and absolute) MANDATORY gems in the book?
Yes, PChandler, there are other 'MANDATORY gems.' As you suggest, they are almost always capitalized. And when Homer Kelley really wanted to shout "THIS IS IMPORTANT!!," he also italicized the capitalization.

Take a look at the Mechanical Checklist For All Strokesin 12-3. These 45 mission-critical alignments are those most likely to 'go bump in the night' during your Three Station Total Motion (Address, Top and Finish). In this Checklist of 'Golfer's Musts' only two alignments are capitalized. Both relate to the Roll of the #3 Accumulator (Left Arm and Clubshaft Angle) through the Release Interval (from Release through Impact to Both Arms Straight):

1. At The Top (Section Six), Item #22: DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP.

2. The Release Interval ('Through the Ball' Sections 9, 10 and 11), Item #39: ON LINE HINGE ACTIO


n other words, you must prepare to correctly Roll the Hands through Impact, and then you must do it. With his capitaliztion, Homer is highlighting the problem of executing the Clubhead Overtaking of the Hands, a.k.a., the #3 Accumulator Roll (Swiveling and Hinging), while maintaining -- here come more 'caps' -- A STRAIGHT LINE RELATIONSHIP TO A STRAIGHT LINE -- POINTING AT A STRAIGHT LINE (2-N-0). In other words, the straight line Clubshaft (the visible proxy for the Line of Pull of the Sweet Spot) must continue to point at the straight line Baseline of the Inclined Plane. And four very good ways to disrupt this On Plane relationship are STEERING, QUITTING, BOBBING and SWAYING (3-F-7-A/B/C/D). Look look LOOK (3-B, 3-F-5 and 9-2) to rid yourself of these Four Snares.

All this is moving the Club WITH ITS PROPER RHYTHM (3-0), and it can only be achieved by driving the Hands -- NOT THE CLUB -- toward the BALL (6-G-0). DRIVE THE BALL INTO THE GROUND, NOT INTO THE AIR (6-E-2-1). To help assure the CORRECT IMPACT ALIGNMENTS (7-8 ), pre-program this Rhythm during the Address Routine (Practice Swing and Waggle) by visualizing the PATH OF THE CLUBHEAD THROUGH AND BEYOND IMPACT (8-0). When Playing, focus your attention ALL THE WAY DOWN on the 'Hands-Clubhead-Ball Relationship and become TARGET CONSCIOUS (3-B).


From the Top, this Delivery Line ROLL PREPARATION is dependent on coordinating the independent Hip and Shoulder Turns (7-14). Use the Start Down Waggle to assure that the Right Hip is cleared during the Start Down, thus avoiding 'Roundhousing' (Flat Downstroke Shoulder Turn) and its inevitable Clubhead Throwaway. The correct Lag Loading uses the Pivot to overcome the initial Clubhead inertia at the Top without Pulling the Hands out of their On Line relationship with the Plane Line. This combines with the correct Release Motions (On Line Uncocking and Rolling per 4-D-0) to set up a steady driving pressure -- not a 'convulsive, impatient THROWING pressure (7-19) -- and leads to Impact prior to FULL EXTENSION of the Primary Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club per 2-P). The MEANS (6-E-1) to maintaining this essential Geometry is Educated Hands: the player must learn to SWING THE HANDS, MONITOR THE HANDS (5-0).

Finally, it is the On Plane Right Forearm that ALWAYS establishes and maintains the correct Clubshaft-Left Arm angle (the #3 Accumulator) through Release and Impact (6-B-3-0). This MAGIC OF THE RIGHT FOREARM (7-3) assures the mandatory relationships of the Flying Wedges: The Left Arm Wedge ALWAYS against the plane of the Left Wristcock motion and the Right Foream Wedge AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LEFT ARM PLANE.

In summary, Homer's capitalization is there for a purpose. Seen as a whole, he leads us patiently down the twin paths of Principle and Procedure to the crux of The Golfing Machine:

Deliver the RHYTHMIC (2-G and 6-P-0) Clubface DOWNward AND OUTward AND FORward through Impact (2-C-0) and, by all means...

SUSTAIN THE LAG (3-F-7-B)!


My summary: KEEP THE RIGHT FOREARM IN FRONT OF RIGHT BICEP-DRIVE IT straight at and THROUGH the BLP at THE BALL AND GROUND! don't be afraid to tilt to carry the Power Package ( FLW) along the BLP and then extend it straight through the BLP!!!! That is where the golf machine lives, on plane, the throw must be on plane to keep the sweetspot on plane!!!!!
