The Basic Principle for Striking a Golf Ball
"The golf stroke is the result of a combination of leverages - it is compound leverage. The club is one lever actuated from the left wrist. The left arm is another lever actuated from the shoulder joint. The left shoulder is another lever actuated from the spinal column. A lever that breaks in the middle is no lever at all."

"The left side, the left arm and the left hand take the hit superbly and, of course, just as long as there is no breakdown there, it is impossible to hit too hard with the right hand." Bob Torrance
Learn Opposed Power
"The left hand should act as a fulcrum against which the right hand strikes. Should this fulcrum collapse or give way, the club head will drag behind, and the club face will consequently not be square to the line of play, nor will it be perpendicular to the initial line of trajectory."

Hitting his shots with deadly accuracy the tall Whiteface shotmaker fired fifteen successive par holes, winding up with a birdie, par, birdie. He was out in 35 strokes and in with 33. Hike Tyrell of the Saranac golf club finished in fourth place with 72" and "Carrying on the tradition of the Dunns, Bob, son of Seymour, is the present professional at Whiteface Inn."

'Modern' Golf Instruction Is At Best Incomplete
"To excel at the game, one should go about it properly.
Since many golfers achieve success with wide varieties of stance, grip, body pivot, etc., it stands to reason that while of very great importance, such matters are not fundamentals of the golf swing. They are merely matters of style and of method." DUNN
"Fundamentals are basic principles of a theory and these principles should be regarded as inviolable by the student no matter what the expert players may do and get away with." DUNN

"There are coaches who seek to have their pupils achieve a beautiful finish and work back from there on the grounds that, in order to get into that position, they must have done almost everything before correctly. Myself, I do not much care for it because, after all, look at the sometimes almost grotesque follow-throughs of Arnold Palmer and Gary Player, and those after some of their greatest shots." Bob Torrance
An 'Old' Warning And Instruction
"The books place great emphasis upon the finish of the stroke - the "follow-through," as it is called - and the beginner is assured that unless he can get his arms to reach out after the ball the stroke will be a failure. This is a rock upon which untold myriads of golfers have foundered, and so perished miserably. Now, at the risk of being pronounced hopelessly heterodox, I am going to tell you that you need not bother about the follow-on at all." Alec Smith

"Sixty years ago I remember that outstanding instructor Seymour Dunn proclaiming that golf was 85 per cent hands and only 15 per cent body. Nothing in a lifetime's experience in golf has happened to make me think otherwise. How right he has been! Of course strong legs are essential for control. Accept this as a fact, learn to use the hands properly, and like me you will enjoy a lifetime of pleasure-golf." Sir Henry Cotton
