THE GOLFING MACHINE is about making thoughtful and
knowledgeable Choices leading to the ultimate goal of
having an Uncompensated Stroke Pattern.

The three all-encompassing Primary Concepts on which all details can be easily
attached as they surface - THE HINGE ACTION (2-G)
of an ANGULAR MOTION (2-K) operating on an INCLINED PLANE (2-F)

"Give me a flat left wrist, a lag pressure point
and a straight plane line, I can teach anyone to play golf"

THE SECRET OF GOLF IS NOT A POSITION - IT’S A PRESSURE!

The FLAT LEFT WRIST controls the CLUB-FACE
LAG PRESSURE
CLUB ALWAYS ON PLANE
Centered Pivot - STEADY HEAD ALWAYS CENTERED Between The Feet
EXTENSOR ACTION should feel like an ounce that produces a ton of structure.

If you don't like a given Component Variation, recommended or otherwise, then
HOMER KELLEY would be the first to tell you to avoid it and use something
else. The reasons for 'not liking' something ranges from physical inability to
execute to psychological. There are ten trillion Strokes in TGM, roughly half
Hitting and half Swinging. Use the one(s) you like. Again quoting HOMER, "Do
whatever you like. Have fun! Enjoy the game!" HOMER KELLEY

MENTAL GAME – LYNN BLAKE

The Mental Game in Golf has three purposes:

1) In Learning, to gain over time a crystal clear understanding of the
necessary Golf Stroke Mechanics. This is the Blueprint.

2) In Practice, to translate those precision Mechanics into identifiable Feels
through the conscious programming of the subconscious mind. This is the
Process.

3) In Play, to use your imagination (born of experience) to visualize the
alternative shots for the situation at hand; weigh risk against reward,
particularly in the light of your own capabilities; and to choose among
them wisely.

Then, to employ

(1) A disciplined Pre-Shot Routine (with its own set of Visualizations and
Feels) that will program the Computer for its essential responsibility
(Execution Control)

(2) A disciplined Post-Shot Routine that will reinforce the intended Stroke;
set the stage for a successful outcome on the next Stroke; and avoid
the negative psychological and physical consequences of dwelling on
past mistakes. This is the Art.

These activities combine to produce an effective, efficient Golf Stroke.

A Golf Stroke you own.

A Golf Stroke you can "turn loose and trust".

"There is a reason why most golfers don't trust their swing. It's because their
swing (including its programming) isn't trustworthy." – YODA
