"The wicked flee when no one pursues. But the righteous are bold as a lion."
--Proverbs 28:1
After my initial exposure to The Golfing Machine and especially after I had spent a week studying with Homer Kelley, it didn't take me long to begin the assault on conventional golf instruction. And it mattered not the target of my corrective efforts (in this case, one Jack William Nicklaus after his Golf Digest article in December 1982).
Arrogance?
Or The Truth articulated in polite but no uncertain terms?
Isn't it interesting......
Your letter was dated December 18, 1982, yet I can go to the range today and still see the diagram. Years later and your information is still as true as the day you typed it. Unaffected by todays glitz and glammer, this is a sign of the real TRUTH.
Last night at the range I watched for an hour as one of the highest rated (rated by one of those magazines) instructors in Massachusetts was giving lessons. I was in the same place as his student..... just not getting it. Until, that is, I met Yoda and the fog lifted. I just wanted to shout "YOUR TEACHING IS ALL WRONG" but I held my breath and felt sorry of the student.
By the way, what word processor did you use for your letter?

Yoda, just curious----did Golf Digest or Mr. Nicklaus ever reply to your letter???
I was going to ask the same question.
The letter was so well written that they probably didn't have any comeback.
Yoda- you must have a great filing system seeing that you are able to easily retrieve a letter written 24 years ago. I can't even recall where I left my TGM book that I read last week.
