Ben Hogan from his golf tip after his Shell's Wonderful World of Golf match against Sam Snead sans clothing. Anything Gregg McHatton says, we should pay attention. After all he was in Lynn's master class with Homer Kelley.

If it's ok for Kev, I'll copy up some stuff to read (and let others read if they want):

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!
Centered Pivot - STEADY HEAD ALWAYS CENTERED Between The Feet
CLUB ALWAYS ON PLANE
The FLAT LEFT WRIST controls the CLUB-FACE
The RIGHT SHOULDER is the LIASON between the
POWER PACKAGE and the PIVOT
SET UP
♦ Take grip at low point with left wrist vertical.
♦ Level Left Wrist at address and right forearm on plane with all clubs
♦ Set up with left foot outside left shoulder – Lee Trevino Step – Helps
get weight moving left on downstroke – Get the core moving level over
a flat – stable left foot. – GEORGE KNUDSON
♦ Feel bend in knees
♦ Knuckles line up underneath shaft
♦ Flare out the both feet.
♦ Don’t get ball too far back in stance
♦ Aim Left, Swing Right, Walk Down the Middle – LEE TREVINO
ACCUMULATION – LOADING - STORAGE
♦ Shoulders turning too flat. “FEEL” Rotated Shoulder Turn on backstroke.
♦ Right Forearm needs to fan more right away at startup to get the club on
plane. Work on Swing Plane, one end always pointed at target line.
♦ Feel load & lag pressure in hands
♦ Float Loading - Right wrist angle increases on downswing
DELIVERY
♦ Release #4 and #1 earlier and faster with the goal of getting hands to
aiming point. Not releasing accumulators #4 and #1 creates too much
axis tilt, and the right hip gets in the way of the delivery of the hands.
♦ Get left knee in front of left foot at start of down stroke. HULA – HULA
♦ Deliver lag pressure to impact & beyond with flat left/bent right wrists
♦ The left knee must move in front of the left hip on the down stroke. The
left hip must move in front of the left shoulder.
RELEASE
♦ Get back to the Elbow Plane to make better use of PA #3
♦ Need more Extensor Action at Impact and Follow Through. Left arm
breaks down right after impact due to lack of EA. This also helps get the
club back on plane with finish swivel.
♦ Keep steady head centered. When the head moves forward, the body
stops…
♦ Arms need to stay closer to body after impact and re-hinge.
♦ Your body can’t rotate if your head doesn’t. Rotate the head towards the
target on the down-stroke. Hogan - Annika
♦ Keep the right hip and right shoulder moving through the ball
FINISH
♦ My “Palm Springs” feeling of rotating the chest helps extend the spine!
♦ My hands need to be educated to go back up the plane at follow through
to finish.
♦ It's the right arm that takes the club to finish back up plane.
♦ Finish swivel – Feel like the left wrist never bends!
♦ Annika Eyes
♦ RELEASE THE FORWARD TILT OF THE HIPS
When I start to Trace a Plane Line that is too Inside Out, this is usually my problem. My eye line looks just like MM is trying to get you to do. My right ear ends up closer to my right shoulder than my left ear is to my left shoulder. Your eyes can fool you. Two wrongs can make a right, but there are better ways to fix the OTT.
