Description
Homer Kelley's groundbreaking quest to unlock the science behind the perfect golf swing revolutionised the sport forever. In 1939, Kelley played his first game and scored an impressive 116, only to struggle for six months before rediscovering his form with a score of 77. Determined to understand what had changed, Kelley spent three decades researching and experimenting, eventually publishing his findings in "The Golfing Machine: The Computer Age Approach to Golfing Perfection" in 1969. Kelley's innovative approach, which allowed golfers to configure their swings to suit individual needs, attracted a devoted disciple in Ben Doyle, a Seattle teaching pro. However, when young prodigy Bobby Clampett faltered as a professional, Kelley's ideas were subjected to criticism. Despite this, Kelley's work remains an important part of golfing history. This book offers a fascinating insight into the life and achievements of Homer Kelley, the man behind the machine that changed the game.
