Description
This remarkable story tells of a curious genius whose lifelong quest to unlock the science behind the perfect golf swing has changed the game forever.
In 1939, an average Joe named Homer Kelley played golf for the first time and scored 116 - a respectable score for a beginner but frustrating for a science-obsessed perfectionist like Kelley. He did not play again for six months, then carded a 77. He devoted the next 30 years to solving the science behind the perfect golf swing. Here, veteran journalist Scott Gummer brings to light the untold story of golf's most curious genius.
