Re: fascinating golfer

Thanks cd for the picture of Bruen at the top of his swing. I've only seen a few still photos that Henry Cotton provided in his book, but as I recall (and I could be mistaken) Bruen started the downswing by dropping his right elbow into a Mindy right elbow configuration while the clubhead stayed well out in front of him (suspended nearly over the target line). As I recall Cotton's picture of Bruen well past impact, he was still on the target line with his clubhead, which did not go left in the followthru but instead went out toward the target and up remaining closer to the target line than any good golfer I had seen. Cotton may have compared Bruen's action to what Cotton called a "peek-a-boo" finish which is an action used by some women in Cotton's era whereby the golfer's head was allowed to occuy the space between the golfer's two arms in the followthru. Bruen's action was not at all "peek-a-boo".
