Summary: A must for any golf library
Comment: As an Authorized Instructor of "The Golfing Machine" my opinions are slightly baised. However, until I read and learned the book I was going nowhere as a golf professional. My teaching "method" was based on whatever came out in the latest edition of Golf Digest. This is not a book of how but one of why. Mr Kelley spent 40 years of his life researching the golf swing and found things that the majority of teaching professionals have not found until recently using high tech gadgets. Mr Kelley did this with no video cameras, biomechanic aparatus, etc. He used just plain geometry, and physics. The most important part of the book deals with how to read and study it. Mr Kelley tells the reader exactly how to do this on roman numerial page X. I have yet to meet anyone that followed his instructions! So if you buy this book make sure that you do.

Summary: Mr. Kelley is the Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton of golf
Comment: Words cannot express what this book has done for golf. Kelley's work is masterpiece. Golf instruction tends to be theory and opinion. There is absolutely no theory or opinion in the book. It is completely fact, it will remain that way as long as the basic laws of physics and geometry hold true. Just as there are thousands of philosophies and religons but only one science, there is also thousands of different golf books but only one Golfing Machine. It is not an easy read but that is because so much information is reduced to a 200 page handbook. It is basically golf swing engineering. All golf strokes have been divided into 24 components, three zones, 12 sections and three functions. Unfortunatly, just as the only people who can truly appreciate Einstein are those who have studied relativity, the only people who can appreciate the genious of Homer Kelley are the ones who have unlocked the information held within this book. Needless to say, I highly recommend it.

Summary: Long Journey
Comment: This book is not for the faint of heart. You truly have to be a detailed/meticulous person who has many years of concentrated devotion to the game of golf to understand this book and the physics behind the golf swing. It is a great handbook for INSTRUCTORS, which is where most of its praise comes from, not casual players of the game who don't have their entire life devoted to the sport. Any truly great player that has become successful with this book has done so through hours of instruction with a certified golfing machine instructor. Its a waste of time and money for someone to go about it by himself.
