| LESLIE KING
Leslie King studied closely the swings of the great players
of that age - J H Taylor, James Braid, Harry Vardon, and the
newcomers then in golf's golden age - Bobby Jones, Sam Snead,
Tommy Armour, Hogan, Hagen, Sarazen and many others. Mr King's
fast eyes - still a pre-requisite for a good teaching professional
- clearly showed him that the swing could be broken down into
tiny parts - just as a slow motion replay does now on a video
camera - and he built a swing model around it. He never claimed
to have invented a swing, but just to have watched it and
categorised it, pulling it apart to enable him to help his
pupils build a swing that was as near perfect as possible.
