Okay, I’ll give it a go for a while. Btw, it’s not laziness, I just have a phobic fear of definition

I’m busy cleaning out my sock drawer…then I’ll get to thinking about it.

Looks good Bom…with lots of definition! RR

Here is a picture of a dartboard backboard I built back in the mid 1990’s. The golden spiral starts in the lower left hand quadrant, shoots off and on to the board several times before exiting the top of the board. It is a mirror image of the Christmas storm satellite photo above.

I really like seeing your work there goldengolf.

PAUL_IOZ · January 31, 2011, 2:53pm

I’ve always liked this picture, works as a swing ‘thought’ too:

found this page of spirals when i was looking for a spring to use as an example in my swing thread…lots of good images in these

like the Hogan one too IZ

IOZ,
Yeah! Good stuff! Thanks for posting this image.

1teebox · January 31, 2011, 4:46pm

Two,

Thanks for linking us to those astonishing, mesmerizing images.

1teebox · January 31, 2011, 4:56pm

IOZ,

I promptly set your Hogan double helix as my display background. The distortion to fill the horizontal display format creates a crazy image that nevertheless works. Cool idea you have there and it strengthens what we are learning imho.

1teebox · January 31, 2011, 5:10pm

That nzdzeni link has a bunch of wild stuff inside it.

I look forward to what you will do with a spiral in your swing thread Two.

And bingo, there it is: http://www.advancedballstriking.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=1840&p=23186#p23186

I’m honored 1teebox
You do know that you can see the image without distortion, right?
Just in case, here’s how you do it on Windows7:

1teebox · January 31, 2011, 6:06pm

IOZ,
A big “Thank You” for going to the trouble of posting the Display Background tip using Win7. I am still using XP, a long story I’ll skip. Best distortion free I can get is choosing “Center” and it works well.

IOZ,
Where did you get this photo? Did you make it? It’s really great.

PAUL_IOZ · February 1, 2011, 7:48am

Thanks BOM, you probably knew I did not take the photo but I did draw the helix lines. I took one of those red pills RR sent me and voila…

The Monster winter storm of 2011

Now zooming in …

[b]The sun is now setting. Here I framed the spiral in the upper right hand corner. It looks like a nascent floating zygote in the womb.

NEW SITE
golftothecore.com[/b]

… sorry … not trying to spam. I’m putting together a seminar and I needed a fresh site. I’m looking for a little feedback on the Golf To The Core site. Does the site evoke any curiosity? I think I could help a lot of people in a two hour time span. Does anyone out there know a grinder that may need a boost?

PAUL_IOZ · February 2, 2011, 11:16am

Hey GoldenGolf,

Site looks good! Price is low enough for people to go just out of curiosity (which is also a good thing).

Here is a recent satellite image of Australia.

goldengolf · February 3, 2011, 6:59pm

Look! It’s the Yin and Yang of nature!

… Praying for safety of the Australians caught in this monster storm.

This photo pretty much says it all.

Has this thread been beaten to death?

Does everyone agree that there absolutely no way that a pure golf swing can be separated from this powerful expression in the natural world? How could it be possible? This action moves beyond the contemplation of hitting vs. swinging, left vs right, up vs. down, in vs.out. Likewise in golf, the mechanical mind must release itself to that now moment. Golf, to me, is an act of simply placing the hands into orbit and removing them from orbit. If the hands are stable, the clubhead is stable. This was the Ernest Jones understanding … he said, “the swinging club through the hands, finds its own center.” I believe that all mass, through time, seeks to organize itself along this spiral. If we allow an eye wall to develop inside the body, this powerful wave can be accessed. Here then arises the notion of power through efficiency. When this efficiency is realized, time shrinks to nothingness, and the pure strike emerges … ahh, a fine shot indeed.

So this is the nature of the Golf To The Core workshop. My purpose is to help the client realize and enhance the body’s ability to find this efficiency … reveal techniques on how to develop the inner eye-wall and how to develop the inner eye.
