The Golf Machine
In 1951 an engineer from Seattle, Washington
had a problem. He was playing very good golf, shooting in the seventies, in his very first year of playing golf.
Golf is supposed to be more difficult than this, he was told, so he wanted to know why he was playing so well. He talked
to several golf pros who taught the game but none gave him satisfactory answers. Being a scientist at work and at heart
he knew there had to be answers. Se he begun what he figured to be a one week project mapping out the "science" of the
golf swing.
Twenty-eight
years later he finished his project. A wonderfully complete study of why the ball goes where it
does, how the club moves to make it fly long and straight or short and crooked, and what the human body must do to get the
club to move in this manner.
