Kelnhofer teaches the nose moves to over rt. knee at the top of the swing.
STATIONARY HEAD -----How can the weight shift if the head stays still?

1. I know of no factual error in The Golfing Machine. A few printer's errors and a few things that could definitely be worded better, but again, no factual error.

2. Regarding the Stationary Head, study the Head Position (in relation to the Feet and the Centered white reference marker) in photos 9-1-1 through 9-1-12. Also photos 9-2-1 #1 and 9-2-2 #1. Notice that you could drop a plumb line from the chin and it would fall in the middle of the Feet. In the as yet unpublished 7th edition of TGM, Homer calls this the Pivot Swing Center Tripod. The teaching of the Head over the Right Knee encourages -- in fact, demands -- an exaggerated Tilt of the Upper Body. This position puts the Left Shoulder (and therefore also the Low Point) well behind its proper location and makes achieving the proper Stroke Geometry through Impact extremely difficult.

3. The Hip Shift is the Weight Shift. Hula girls shift their weight from left to right and back again quite nicely -- beautifully, too! -- and never move their head. You may not have their flexibility, but you have more than enough to Pivot properly, i.e., Turn and Shift your Weight -- and not move your Head. To do otherwise is to Sway -- the Fourth Snare (3-F-7-E).
