Why G.O.LLLLLL.F?

[12 piece bucket]

The Line of Compression through the Ball is a Linear Force. It is not a curve.

But, to be efficient, that Line of Compressing Force (Physics) must be aligned -- oriented -- geometrically.

Hence, G.O.L.F. (Geometrically Oriented Linear Force).

Alternatively, we could say that this aligning is accomplished mechanically. That is because mechanics can be defined as structurally-fixed geometry and physics (Chapter 14) -- structure controlling the geometry of a force. So, for a force to be applied efficiently, there must be structure.

Engineers provide structure with basic materials such as brick, wood and steel and all sorts of connecting devices such as nuts and bolts and screws and welds. But a Golfer has only Feel. And the foundation of that Feel is Educated Hands.

So build your Feel -- your structure -- one alignment at a time. Use the conscious mind to precisely program each Mechanic. Then, practice that Mechanic until it becomes a subconcious Feel. "Let Mechanics produce and Feel reproduce (1-J)." Then, using a disciplined Address Routine to assure proper Execution (3-F-6), "turn it loose and trust it. "

Thanks to all for indulging in my goofball questions. Great post Yoda Drewitgolf and all.

What exactly does "geometrically oriented" mean?

What exactly does "geometrically oriented" mean?

Per my post above, it means 'linear force aligned geometrically.'

The golfer's Line of Compression must be oriented -- aligned -- geometrically."

Think of the acronym G. O. L. F. as Geometrically Aligned Linear Force.

Think of the acronym G. O. L. F. as Geometrically Aligned Linear Force.

The Irish (Gaelic) for golf is you guessed it, GALF so this acronym would work here in Ireland.

Mind you Homer would have had to add a chapter to study the effects of wind and rain on the golfing machine.
