Homer Kelley in regard to the initial direction of the ball and the old ball flight rules;
"My contention is that it (the ball) leaves the clubFACE vertical to the leading edge and vertical to the clubface, close enough so that a guy out on the golf course doesn't have to have any kind of gadget for measuring degrees............
This book is not written with those people in mind, its written for the guy standing there who can set the ball up and be reasonably sure its going to separate there in that manner."
