Mr. Kelley refers to "this System" in the Preface so he is restricting it to the golfers application (STAR SYSTEM TRIAD). I am sensitive to the use of "method," believing it is viewed negatively because it implies one way.

DRW

Procedure = Single motion or action designed to achieve something.
System = Set of procedures to designed to achieve something.

There may be trillions of component variation combinations but there is only one way each to execute the Concept-Principles, such as,

1. Magic of the Right Forearm... it controls the elbow or not
2. Flying Wedges...they exist or not
3. Accumulators, 4,1,2,3 or whatever
4. Hinge Action Principle, Etc. you either hinge or not.

It's curious that everyone believes in Hinge Actions and Accumulators and the Flat Left Wrist, yet they deem the Magic of the Right Forearm is optional. Hmm?

The Word Method is used 6 Times in The Golfing Machine
System is used 26 times
Procedure is used 190 times
Principle is used 36 times
No mention of Stack and Tilt or Yogi, anywhere.

Hmm? I think that Homer is telling us something.
