Here is another link to software that will allow you to overlay "Golden Ratio" sections over anything, say like a golf swing:

http://www.atrise.com/golden-section/


Remember all those black and white photos of a golfer going back and forth at high speed?


HK, as an engineering type, knew of this picture and "proportionalism" or what the Greeks called "analogia." I will assert that he knew and understood the order and balance of human design. I think HK knew the answer ("It all works together by design!" and reverse engineered how effective golf swingsbio-mechanically worked.

I must admit to being oblivious to the practical application of the Golden ratio to my golfswing. In fact, my proportions are more akin to an apple, Golden Delicious seems more appropriate.

Perhaps a "Red Delicious?" Unless, but of course, you are over 62.5?




Bumpy, this page will make the application clear.

Didn't make a dent regarding the golfswing. Are you willing or able to provide a practical example regarding the golfswing where knowledge of the ratio would provide an advantage? I am very intrested in the practical application of the golden ratio. I have discoverd that the females that display the Golden Ratio have more intresting things to say. The golden ratio also seems to have an effect on patience.

Your sense of humor is great!

Kevin showed, in his picture, how ratios of the body effect the golf swing. To tell you the truth, the Golden Ratio is a "big picture concept" for me and it is very abstract and emotional for me (really).

My views of GOD are really conflicted and, well, the time of year, personal stuff yada, yada..... The "Big Design" stuff comforts me on a macro-level but frustrates me on a micro-level....anyway, I'll have a better concept of this in a few days.


Peace Out B!

I simply relax, let the big person in the universe clue me in, and go forward. I'm not saying I know, but I usually feel so damn good and relaxed about the issue that I gain a better perspective.

And now, I'm thinking about the great steak sandwhich I had with Jerry and Kevin in Minnesota. That online Weight-Watchers is starting to play with my mind.
