...why then does Mr. Kelley admonish taking all strokes to the both arms straight position per 8-11?
To be a good player, you must swing your Left Arm through the Ball while keeping your Left Wrist Flat. This assures the Rhythm of the Stroke -- the Left Arm and Clubshaft remaining In Line (6-B-3-0) -- and also compliance with the Law of the Flail (Sketch 2-K #1-#3). However, unless the Right Arm is sufficiently bent through Impact, it acts as a 'chain' on the Left Arm that prevents it from swinging through. Then, the Left Wrist Bends, Rhythm evaporates and erratic Execution (3-F-6) becomes the order of the day.
The solution is to maintain the Normal Condition of the Arms: 'Left Arm straight and Right Arm bent' until the end of the Follow-Through (by definiton, the Both Arms Straight position). To see it in action, click through this sequence of Stuart Appleby http://www.golfonline.com/golfonline...634482,00.html frame-by-frame throughout the Release Interval (Release to Follow-Through).
Then, learn to do it yourself. The key here is the Right Shoulder. Most players Turn it Off Plane during the Start Down and keep it too 'high' throughout the Downstroke. Instead, keep it 'back and down' (On Plane / 7-13). A few thousand Start Down Waggles (3-F-5) -- the Hands (via the Pivot and its On Plane Right Shoulder as actuated by Hip Action) dragging the butt end of the Club directly toward the Plane Line -- will be your gateway.
Work on these things -- diligently -- and finally will come the day when you will watch your Right Arm (the Third Side of the Triangle / 6-A-1) extend beautifully Down Plane (3-F-7-E) through Impact and Follow-Through (1-L #10 and #15). And for at least this one brief shining moment...

Your game has got to be coming along with all the TGM knowledge you've been gathering over the years. I'll bet you are tearing up the links on the other side of the pond. When are you going to spend a few Pounds and visit the swamp? The Azaleas are coming into bloom!

Bagger,I really thought my game was coming along. Strap yourself in and read on.
Played long and hard throughout our cold and windy winter months and was beginning to bask in my burgioning prowess.
Its Spring (officially) over here now and the sun shone today. But, at the risk of making myself the laughing stock of the forum, I have to tell you I stank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would you believe, because I am in shock,.............
43 over par!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Complete train wreck and some; my worst round of golf ever.
Nothing was right and I couldn't find any answers. I really tried but the more I tried to do it right the more I did it all wrong. You name the type of mishit and I made it - with ease.
I knew the faults and I know the answers, so why repeat the faults - over and over and over and over.
I was looking to bust into the single digit category this summer but now I just feel suicidal.
- over and over and over and over.
