Because of my studies in The Golfing Machine- I read the two major golf magazines sparingly. I enjoy the ‘Major’ issues- but the instruction reeks.
I did subscribe to a year's worth of Golf Digest because the price was right- FREE. I got my last issue today with a big notice to now pay for a real subscription. I was thinking maybe......
George Pepper wrote a book called The Secret of Golf that explains the secrets from 47 instructors and theories. Homer Kelley is one of the 47 detailed in the book, but in the magazine excerpt he is not one of the 18 listed.
Instead of Homer Kelley, readers get Jack Kuykendall- a certifiable loon, and Count Yogi- a fraud, whose under instruction I ever could find of his is to be simple and relaxed and just let it happen- Great !
Also instead of Homer, Dick Aultman’s Square to Square, Peter Beames’s Walk-through-swing, ala G. Player- so let s steer and hit off balance. It is sad. Not to mention David “Gravity” Lee is included.
One of my favorites- Percy Boomer’s secret reads like TGM- turn mechanics into feel and let the pivot produce lag (my words). And J. Douglas Edger’s secret reads like Boomer’s book- On Learning Golf.
So- no, I won’t subscribe to Golf Digest even at the free price. Sorry for the rant.
