In fact, that is exactly what he did in 1941. After only five months of golf, he shot a 77 on a championship course. His book -- The Golfing Machine® -- was born because he could not explain how he did it. Nor could he find anyone else who could. And because he didn't know, he immediately reverted to his old, high-handicap form. The "sweeping" Feel he had that day soon became a distant memory.
Sixteen years later, he discovered the Flat Left Wrist. Only then did he remember what the pro had told him:
"Semi-lock your left wrist through impact."
That is what Homer had done those many years before.
And a 77 is what he got.
Flat Left Wrist, anyone?

From 25,000 hours on the tee:
Getting to make a better swing and look like a golfer - 15min. to 2hours
Breaking 100 regularly (if you never have) - less than one year
Break 90 regularly (starting from 100+) - less than 3 years
Break 80 regularly (starting from 100+) - less than 5 years
Assuming an average condition man 35-55, five lessons a year, one bucket a week in season, 20+ rounds per season.
And a good FITTED set of clubs.

Yoda and Brian!
Now this precisely the kind of OPTIMISM I am looking for! On other forums when this question is alluded to some teachers are saying "Well students are A.D.D. they'll never get it." It's frustrating to hear this kind of poor mouthing. I mean come on! We are armed with THE BEST information period bar none in golf!
I'm glad that our two FEARLESS LEADERS brimming with confidence are also FEARLESS BELIEVERS in what they teach! Good to see that the brass is willing to EAT THEIR OWN DAWG FOOD!!!
I'm in total agreement that Average Joe can be turned into the Swan! Most are out hear trying to break their glass ceiling 90, 80 or 70. At the end of the day you gotta write down a number. Glad that you have enough belief in your info, ability to teach and ultimately BELIEF IN YOUR STUDENT. Cause if the teacher don't believe, how can the student?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
