"THE GEOMETRY OF THE CIRCLE IS PLANE GEOMETRY (2 DIMENSIONAL - 4-D-0) AND CONSISTS OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE (AND ARCS), RADIUS, RADIANS, DIAMETER, TANGENTS, CHORDS, PLANE, AND PLANE LINE. ONLY THE CIRCUMFERENCE IS NOT A STRAIGHT LINE AND IT IS DESCRIBED BY A RADIUS MOVING AROUND A CENTER ........"


This last bit "only the circumference is not a straight line".... sounds simple enough but it is interesting given that most new golfers and a lot of old time golfers too in their despair or merely operating under false logic try to cover the plane line or target line instead of tracing , pointing at it. Its as if we want to find a straight line to guide us and there is one but we attempt to make what should be a more circular orbit natured geometry linear . Like pool or billiards. Different tools / implements , different associated geometries. Contrast the hammer throw and the spear chuck. The golf club , which can whack a ball a long way mandates a circular geometry. IMO.
