The Case for Simplistic Instruction

"Demanding that golf instruction be kept simple does not make it simple - only incomplete and ineffective. Unless this is recognized, golf remains a vague, frustrating, infuriating form of exertion."

Mr. Homer Kelley, The Golfing Machine

Traditional golf instruction typically overexplains the obvious (what they are doing wrong)and underexplains what they ought to be doing to eradicate the mistake. Maybe its because they do not have the necessary information to do that...

I promise you that the top nuclear scientists and astrophysicists didn't get to where they were by trying to "keep things simple." If only golf professionals saw it the same way, the national handicap average would be 10.
