Clearing up tidbits on TGM

[12 piece bucket]

Colonel B,

Your understanding of TGM is increasing by leaps and bounds, and you are absolutely right that the Angle of Approach, the Impact Point and the Low Point are defined by the original Plane Line. However, you've missed a bit on the other points, and 'ol Yoda is here to help.

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.

And your courage to post was rewarded with another step forward in your quest to truly 'own' the treasure that is TGM. Congratulations, Col. Bucket. Keep this up and you'll soon be Gen. Bucket!
