Author Scott Gummer has discovered a fascinating untold story of a depression era character who shot 116 the first time he played golf and followed it up six months later with a 77 on his second round. Fascinated by golf's baffling complexity and dissatisfied by instructor's explanations, Homer Kelly had a 28 year odyssey that resulted in a book called the "Golfing Machine" published in 1969. Today, Kelley's theories and research have guided players like Bryson DeChambeau, Steve Elkington and Morgan Pressel. There is even a school of training that can be found at TheGolfingMachine.com.
