[O.B.Left]

Ok that didnt take long, cant find my old Arnie books but here is Jack from "Golf My Way", 1974.

"The infinite variety of course and weather conditions encountered by the tournament golfer demands that he learn to "finesse" the ball, especially around the greens. Thus Ive gradually developed quite a variety of chipping techniques , two of them illustrated here. By swinging the clubface through the ball from open to closed (top drawing), I'm able to produce a low-flying, far-running kind of shot --a "hot" ball I call it. Reversing the process, I produce a higher-flying, softer landing chip shot--I think o fit as a "dead" ball--by swining the clubface through the ball from closed to open. Neither technique is beyond the reasonably skillful golfer who'll give some time to practicing these finesse shots."

He's pretty close, the top drawing looks like he'll it pull it left with that closed face at impact. The bottom one looks like a tiny push to the right. It lacks Homer's precision with the three associated planes, he doesnt discuss Angled at all. Good stuff though, really good stuff.

Id be interested in other examples from non tgm sources especially pre tgm. Maybe I should make this a new thread.
