I know...well, it's been a while since I've looked at his sequence. I recall he used lower hands but had a fairly upright plane. Don't quote me on that...

He was a talented golfer, no doubt about it. He had a good swing, but when I studied it in more detail (years ago), I felt it was a lot "looser" than Hogan and wouldn't be a model I would want to spend a lot of time on. He had an incredible short game. It's tragic his career ended that way.

For those interested, Tony Lema did write a book about his golf game and much more. It might be available thru some of the companies which locate out of print books.

Double shift from the elbow plane although I doubt he thought of it that way. Front arm on the Hogan plane at the top with shoulders turning on a flatter plane. Generally neutral head position with the long clubs and some lean toward the target at the top. Lots of knee flex typical of the period.
