6Bmike, you are aware that a whole series was done in the early 80s about TGM and Homer in Golf Monthly?

I don't know if the sister publication ran them, I wasn't in the country at the time.

I was doing a bit of digging into the IP issue you raised.

It seems that AIs, if they pay their dues they can
- Use their title/designation on business cards, stationary, websites and locally displayed signs
- Can in limited use the Logo providing it is pre-approved
- AI can may give private or group golf lessons using the techniques learned from the book The Golfing Machine

They don't say you can't write, etc and that you don't have get prior approval. I am sure as it is with all material that is normally referenced, you just get approval prior and while doing research, however I don't believe you have to submit for review, but then again they don't have give you approval.

I am still troubled by the need for teaching professionals to HAVE TO give credit, I only see them doing it is an entire quote or they are trying to get validation.

From 69 to 83, it seems that TGM really didn't take hold, yet it had several opportunities when the PGA looking at it, etc.

Its a hard sell so it would appear.
