I have 2 golf books that pre-date the Golfing Machine that I am guessing may have been well-thumbed on Homer's bookshelf, and because they pre-dated the machine, may be all that more important in the annuls of golf instruction, that being Dante's book and my favorite, Golf-o-metrics by Joe Norwood. What other pre-Machine books could have been on Homer's bookshelf, technically compliant with the 3 imperatives?

Digger, funny you should metion Norwood, i was just using his terms to practice my rear BENT and level wrist practice, that being "The thumb follows the finger". Makes it correct everytime.

If your head is clear, had a good night's sleep, and a good cup of coffee, read Homer. If your hung over or will be teeing off in an hour, read Norwood.

Ed, Joe wrote a book entiltled " Golf-O-Metrics", he teachs a hitting procedure.
See if your library has it, it took me about 3 reads to understand what he meant.
he basically has you go to impact fix, keep those alignments, and use the rear side to power the swing.

I like to read Homer's Notes as compiled by Chuck Evans. It has a new teaching tune to them.
Homer wrote TGM with Hogan in mind and enjoyed Power Golf. Homer's work was original and borrowed from no one, but was the first to say he didn't invent any of this, "I didn't float out of bed this morning." The laws of geomtery and physics existed long before even golf.
