Here's a book that has been in print since 1974...




How many people learned the game from this one book?

I saw Moe give a lesson once and it was pretty funny.  He calls the club a 'dummy' and the ball a 'dumb guy' and he just kept repeating the same message "You put this dummy on that dumb guy and it goes over there".  His student asked about his grip and Moe would repeat the "dummy" thing over again.  The student asked about the banana slice he just hit and it was met with the dummy thing.

I think Moe knew a lot about hitting a ball but he was never able to convey it to others.

If he was such a great ballstriker it wouldn't matter how much his putting sucked.

Jack Lumpkin:

1)  After a 40+ putt round, Jack gave me a lesson the principles of which I'm still using (25 or so years later).  I'm still not really good, but I'm not awful.

2)  After taking 8 shots to get out of 6 traps (in a club championship), Jack saved me.  I save par now almost 40%.

The man is good.

Are you saying Moe was not a great ball striker?

Gents:

All names that have appeared since my last post have one thing in common ...

THEY ARE EL WRONGO !!!

The last two (2) names are well known but will require a bit of sleuth and gumption on the part of the person correctly answering either or both of them.

There will be NO CLUES this time around.

Again, begin the process -- these last two names may extend the time frame beyond the underrated architects thread caused.

We shall see ...
