If the Science is correct, then shouldn't it's application be wide spread?

Dear Larry,

I just wanted to say that I am a Bobby Jones fan. I've watched his tapes so much that the picture is no longer clear. The beauty of Bobby Jones was that he had the three imperatives on every shot, and he was also a master of the three "essentials" (a stationary head, balance and rhythm). I believe he had a triple shift plane angle variation ( 10-7-D) which he repeated masterfully. The beauty of TGM is that it allows for everything that Bobby did and gives students and teachers so many options. Bobby Jones said in his tapes and book to "do what's most natural." If a teacher can see what a student's natural tendencies are and work within those confines and not violate a flat left wrist at impact, hands leading a trailing clubhead and an on plane downswing, then that student is doing what Bobby said. That student is "doing what's most natural." Have a great day!

Good thoughts, JG33,

In an earlier post (somewhere!) I discussed the ideal nature of the NoncompensatedStroke Patterns of Chapter 12. But I did not make the point you havecorrectly made (and that Homer made in 1-H). Namely:

"There is little excuse for forcingthe average week-end golfer -- who has some strong tendency or other --to adopt any procedure or Stroke Pattern that calls for the elimination of thattendency. It is far easier to develop a Stroke Pattern that properlycompensates for it. Change the factors that are easily controlled to fitthose that are difficult to change."

Good advice.

Stationary Head, Balance and Rhythm. Bobby Jones, eh? Yoda? Oh yeah, we are in right universe, solar system, planet, and website.

So, nothing I practice will be practiced without a quiet head, knees and feet.

Now to find some drills!
