So high you can't get over! So low you can't get under it!

The "curved visual path of the orbiting Clubhead, etc." is the Arc of Approach, not the Angle of Approach. The Clubhead Blur of the Angle of Approach would be a straight line through the Impact Point and Low Point.

The Suez Canal example in The Glossary refers to this straight line path through the two points -- the Angle of Approach -- not the original Plane Line. The 'going around' (through the two points) refers to the curved Arc of Approach.
So wide you can't get around! You must go in at the DOOR!

My bad! I thought that the Suez Canal was the Original Plane Line.
