The 'Almost' Imperative
Homer Kelley ultimately decided on Three Imperatives. However, he seriously debated adding a Fourth Imperative. What was it?
Vote your opinion now. I'll give the answer on September 23 and also an explanation of one of the most important interactions in The Golfing Machine.
Many thanks to drewitgolf for this idea.

12-3-0 lists Extensor Action 6 times out of a possible 9 times (section 4 and 5 and sections 9 thru 12 are combined). I'm going with Extensor Action....

Hard question. Hope to hear/read Homers exact words on the subject later on.
In my mind I compared the following:
1. Flat left wrist, straight plane line, clubhead lag pressure point and stationary head
2. Flat left wrist, straight plane line, clubhead lag pressure point and balance
3. Flat left wrist, straight plane line, clubhead lag pressure point and rhythm
4. Flat left wrist, straight plane line, clubhead lag pressure point and extensor action
And went with Stationary Head.

hmmmm.........
I have only followed Homer's reccomended reading of the book twice and lurked on every TGM forum known for 3 months so there is still a lot of fog for me, but in my limited knowledge I would guess Rhythm.
3 of 4 listed are Essentials. Does the order of Essentials & Imperatives mean anything?
Rhythm is the last essential, two lines above the imperative list? It was close to the Imperative list, maybe it was to be thought of as the last Essential and the first Imperative?
Also Rhythm is mentioned more times than I can keep track of:
2-0, 3-0, 6-B-3-0, 7-10, 7-12(index)... i'm sure there are more but I cant remember.
Just one man's uneducated fog shrouded guess.

Hint - one of the answers will cause the others.....
