Now I'm interested in the book . . . wasn't gonna read it. Did y'all see the little write up about it in the most recent Golf Digest with the dude with the starter mullet that assumes 'the position' when he reads putts on the cover . . . Golf Digest called us a "cult." Beautiful.

So, they think we're a cult? Maybe the "Right Forearm Flying Wedge" Handshake gave us away.

Or, maybe our habit of Capitalizing terms.

Quote:
Capitalization of the first letter is employed to restrict the connotation of a term to the golfer’s application only. Which is narrower than the general application in some instances and wider in other instances.


Or, maybe our habit of using coded language: "You can't use 10-2-D with Horizontal-Hinging, you twit."

Or could it possibly be our sense of humor:

Quote:
"WANTED-TGM INSTRUCTOR: Analyze and Teach the Golfing Machine method by Homer Kelley, including Magic of the Right Forearm, Flying Wedges, 10-2-B Grip, Hip Motion and Action, the On-Plane Right Forearm and Extensor Action. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY."

Tomasello Validated
It's funny for so MANY years GSED Tom Tomasello was blamed by so many for deviating from TGM. Well, for all of you who have Scott Gummer's new book checkout pages 201 and 202....it was Ben Doyle that was blamed for deviating from the book.....not Tom Tomasello.

Hell, I don't wish anyone bad its hard not only to write a book but to market it the right way. I know it took me awhile to write my new book and marketing is word of mouth for me since it came out in late April, but its doing good. I think that this guy has talked to some really smart people with TGM and might have something really great. I will wait till all you guys put the 2 thumbs up on it before I buy it though. Best of luck to the guy, I think that he has picked a great person to write about and might draw some more attention to the "CULT"!

In the acknowledgments you'll note one Lynn Blake of course but also it would seem Diane is still alive, as is a certain Mike O something.

That is a very astute observation . . .

Lynn and Tommy's (Tomasello) phone conversation with Homer is included in the book. I have read the first 180 pages. So far, an interesting read.
