  1. When I was in high school back in the 70s I read Jack's books on golf. The other guys on the golf team made fun of me because I teed the ball so high, but I learned that from Jack. They also said that I was dumb for leaving the ball teed high when I was driving into the wind, but Jack said to play the ball further up in your stance when you're driving into the wind rather than teeing out up lower, so that's what I did. I ended up out driving the rest of them.

  2. It's interesting to me that when you watch Jack play, he seems to extend his left arm just before he turns his head to the right to start his swing yet he says that he has relaxed arms. It doesn't look that way but maybe it is.

Note:…The [Key to a Successful Grip] is that…Both Hands are placed (entirely) on the Club….through the… ["Pinky's Pad & Knuckle"]. Why? It's the [Anatomical Point] where the [Hand] is able to make a [Whole & Firm Grip]. (Interlock or Overlap). All for [Discovery] as a [Fun & Rewarding] Experience.

  4. Jack is the best, because he has the best fundimentals. Grip: The palms of the hands face each other on the Golf Club. Stance & Posture: Bend at the hipjoint and lets club fall to the ground to stand the proper distance away from the ball. Head remains steady and in the center of the body throughout the swing to preserve the critical spine angle for consistent ball-striking.Build ONE BASIC SWING for all full swing shots with same ball postion, aim and swing tempo through every club in the bag.
