I don't think Kelvin is wrong, I just believe there are many ways to get R done. I've found mine...

I can't see where Kelvin is bashing TGM or Homer Kelley.
My next statement is going to open a can of worms but make your own conclusions.
Homer Kelley was neither a high-level player nor did he have access to high speed video.

No can of worms for me , Id say thats correct. Maybe he saw some high speed film somewhere or other, Jones say?
Homers geometry was pretty basic stuff , no equations for instance and as old as the ancient greeks. Who didnt have high speed video either but still knew how to draw beautiful curves, precisely , consistently , over and over again in 3D space and in 2D on a chalk board for instance.
Perhaps Im missing your point? Please expand. Are we still talking about planes and circles?

What is the definition of a 'planeoligist'? If we knew that we might ,at some point, be able to give this thread a purpose. Being a reasonably practical person, when I enter a room with sh!t covered walls I don't debate the intent, I move on.

Your point is a very good one, wish Id said that. Your Freudian slip, assuming it was a slip, on the spelling of your nom de plume is priceless. Never would have thought a discussion about golf geometry would come around to a story about a guy named Bumby entering a room with sh!t covered walls! This is one of heck of a thread!
comdpa's been around for a while .... I like him, just wondering whats up? Doesnt sound like him. Maybe we been hacked ? Divide and concur? Mike O. might be behind all of this.

Where did I say he was bashing him? Just going a different direction, I have no problem with that...
