[Yoda]

I believe there is a connection somewhere somehow between Yoda, HK and Paul Bertholy.

I was a student of both Homer Kelley and Paul Bertholy. First Homer (in January 1982) and then Paul (in September 1983). To my knowledge, they never met, nor did they correspond in any way. I would be surprised if either knew of the other's exisence.

During my three days with Paul, he showed me his golfing library. In fact, he gave me two books, one of which was Golf (1927) by Bob MacDonald. Interestingly, modern-day guru Jim Hardy has credited that book as the inspiration for his Two-Plane Swing concept.

After that visit, I wrote a thank-you letter to Paul and his wife, Missy, and shared my thoughts on the experience. I'll see if I can't dig it out of the files and post it in the Clubhouse Lounge (Young Yoda thread).
