They both made millions from this game before you could be a player in the bottom third of the world rankings and make a million dollars a year. They both have probably dug more balls out of the dirt than any of us could ever hope to. They both have probably run every swing theory up and down the flag pole based on their association with the rest of the games greats..yet we have the nerve to rely on quoting the book by verse when we have two CHAMPIONS giving us their views based on real world experience?!

If this is making lesson books overflow with gold...then more power to ya. It just seems like sometimes people act like Homer is the only person in the world who can describe anything related to the golfswing.

Homer’s book wasn’t supported by false instinct. Homer methodically observed and reproduced the motion and action of the golf stroke and was able to coordinate an explanation. It is hard to contradict his research because right or wrong, it is a compelling argument.
Tour golfers are blessed and gifted. Few are golf stroke engineers that can whittle away the vast “seems reasonableness” of how their stroke feels to them. Nor should they.
Im sorry that this thread got out of hand. I don’t think anyone thought it would. You have always been a supported of TGM and a Ted's friend.
