Homer Kelley was a very cool guy. His understanding of Golf Stroke Mechanics had no progenitor. Nor, to date, even a parallel.

Meanwhile, we have today a captained handful of TGM 'nouveau-sect' focused on their own negative bias: Namely, their molehill perception of miniscule error against the mountain of irrefutable fact that is absolutely correct.

Few, if any, of those comprising this sect (which joys in confrontation) ever met the man himself. I find it very curious: These misfits -- they welcome the characterization, at least with regards to TGM -- readily acknowledge their debt to Mr. Kelley. Yet, they then turn their entire attention to damning his work.

All while flying the TGM colors.

An odd world, isn't it?

:sad:

In ancient Hebrew, with it's small vocabulary, words meanings are based on context. The ancient Hebrews simply did not say the name of "God" since it was blasphemous for the "limited" human to speak of the "unlimited" Deity. So, to get to our point, when we speak of "perfect" we are automatically speaking about the meaning of the Hebrew word "perfect." Nothing on earth, in this sphere, can be without fault.

Wanna guess as to that meaning? "Perfect," referred to what was mature or good. Mature, sensible, good, true, effective, helpful, towards the sensible, all those terms describe the owners and operators within the sphere of golf instruction on this site, as far as I can tell.
I'm very happy to know that I'm "perfect". That's what I've been telling my wife for years. :angel:

The audio recordings of Mr Kelley reveal a man who was not opposed to contrarian lines of thought..... He was patient , thoughtful , respectful, gracious. He'd say things like..."well maybe, perhaps I missed something there, but....".

Those "buts" were often pretty revealing though. Defining, in fact. It was often a matter of definition. He'd let people come to their own conclusions. As they must.

If there are corrections to Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity, I won't consider him an idiot. And, I doubt that Einstein thought that Galileo was an idiot.

Without Homer, where would Lynn be? Without Lynn, where would I be?

I owe my knowledge to great people before me. And, I don't need to prove them wrong to massage my own ego.

Wow, "Air Norway." That's what your friends will call you.

Air, when you start filling up the cup with high soft wedges and putts from everywhere, they will mistake you for Michael Jordan's adopted brother from another mother.

I know you will explore different parts of this site. My top notes to myself are posted elsewhere but a frozen, and I mean rock hard frozen bent right wrist and right forearm takeaway, extensor action, and PIVOT are important things.

Really, we all hope you enjoy this experience. Please examine the You tube and gallery free vids. I highly recommend the "Alignment I" DVD set and the premium videos on "The Address Routine." I wish I had seen these videos right away. I would be shooting par by now and even more obnoxious.

I am 52, suave, and really, really charming, unlike Daryl who has other skills, lucky for him! :laughing9

Patrick,
Thanks for the advice.

I would think twice about thanking him. He only took that job as a mascot to curb his cross-dressing urges.

Daryl, I showed Mom what you wrote about our basement!

She said to tell you to stop being jealous of your smarter, better looking younger brother. She's mad because you don't send her those vanity license plates you used to make in Joliet.

She hasn't changed your room since you left for the state correctional home for troubled youth, you know. Anyway, please call her so she doesn't worry about you anymore.

Would you like her to send your footie pajamas now that the weather is cooler?

She sends love to your wonderful family. They are awfully good to you. :)

You two guys have a lot of fun together?
But seriously:

Some say that (most of) the (best) golfers of today are both hitters and swinger in their swing. Does that also make them switters (which was something one originally should avoid, I thought. But what do I know?)

A typical Golf Swing uses many components and procedures. Mixing them, some swinging and some Hitting is typical of most swing patterns.

Swinging is when CF Uncocks the Left Wrist and Hitting is when Right Arm Thrust Uncocks the Left Wrist.

But generally I would reserve the word "Switter" for those who mix incompatible procedures and end up with a less than desirable swing, for example, like Patrick :) . But I don't know the history of the word.

But a 4 Barrel Hitter is one who does both in one swing. I don't think that a 4 Barrel Hitter would be called a "Switter".
