Brian,

Do you agree with Homer's conclusion that there isn't much to be learned by
tour players swings. Just curious.

Redgoat,

This is my first post to you. Straightaway, let me say "Thank you!"
for your wonderful contribution to this site and to those of us who are
totally consumed by Golf Strokes That Work and how to 'make it happen'
for ourselves.

To put this discussion on its proper playing field, let me say that the
neophyte Homer Kelley, searching for answers, would be -- and was -- the
first to look to the model of the day's best players.

"If I had an idea, and it was obvious that the best players were doing
something that would conflict with that idea -- then that idea was
immediately on probation."

He found great enjoyment -- and education -- in the Strokes of the day's best
players. He especially admired Trevino's Downward Motion -- "You've got
to help him get the Club out of the ground." And the "Arnie Palmer
Finish," the result of the above Plane Drive Out of the Angle of
Approach procedure. And the enigma of analyzing the Nicklaus Stroke:
"It's different with every sequence."

But, as his research became more and more codified, what 'they' did became
less and less useful.

Except as a measure against his own Standard of Perfection.
