The Short Version
Lynn Blake has spent more than four decades doing one thing: figuring out what actually makes a golf swing work—and then teaching it so you can feel it for yourself.
He was one of Homer Kelley's last Master Class graduates. He's coached three PGA Tour champions. His Alignment Golf DVD series has sold in 27 countries. And his free video library—over 130 lessons and counting—has helped golfers on six continents find something most had given up looking for: real answers.
But none of that tells the whole story.
The Real Story
It started in the summer of 1980. Lynn was an avid amateur golfer who'd hit the wall in his study of The Golfing Machine. The book was brilliant—and baffling. So he did the only logical thing: he picked up the phone and called the author.
Homer Kelley answered.
That one phone call turned into eighteen months of conversation—Homer patiently explaining the science and geometry behind his landmark work, Lynn absorbing every word. Then, in January 1982, Homer extended a rare invitation: a weeklong Golf Stroke Engineering Master Class, offered to just five students from across the country.
It would be the last of only three Master Classes Homer Kelley lived to conduct. Lynn was one of just twelve people to ever graduate from them.
The Homer Kelley Connection
Here's what most people don't understand about The Golfing Machine: it isn't a method. It's a framework—a complete map of every physical action that can occur in a golf stroke. Homer Kelley spent decades cataloging these actions, measuring them, reducing them to physics and geometry.
The problem? Almost nobody could read the book and translate it into feel. That required a teacher. And Homer knew it.
What Lynn learned in those years wasn't just information. It was perspective—the way Homer thought about the swing, the way he prioritized principles over positions, the way he could look at any motion and see the underlying geometry. That's what Lynn carries forward. Not a frozen set of tips, but a living understanding of how the club works, and why.
When Homer passed away in February 1983, that direct lineage became irreplaceable. Lynn is one of the last people alive who learned it straight from the source.
The Second Act
After Homer's passing, Lynn spent twenty years in the financial world. Successful by every measure—but golf never let go.
In January 2004, he came back. And the results since then have spoken for themselves.
Within a few years, his students included PGA Tour winners, Nationwide Tour champions, PGA Section Players of the Year, and Teachers of the Year. Brian Gay won the Verizon Heritage by ten shots, the St. Jude Classic by five, and the Mayakoba Classic by three. The changes stuck—because they were built on something real.
But Lynn's impact goes well beyond tour players. He's presented to hundreds of PGA professionals at national summits in the U.S. and Sweden. He's trained teaching pros across six countries. He's built a worldwide community of golfers and instructors who share a common language rooted in physics, not fads.
