Martee,

I know many have cried for Homer to be recognized by every instructor that teaches a steady head or flat left wrist. We all are passionate about the book and when the light goes on and changes your golfing life we change it to obsession. After a few times around the book, we see that Homer presented all of us with a superior way to discover the mechanics of the golf swing. When Homer listed the Three Imperatives, he didn’t change anything that Armour, Cotton or Boomer ever knew was correct, but he did give us a marvelous index for it all.

But I will cry out for recognition from any AI, current or past, in good standing or not, anyone that ever studied TGM and uses solely what they learned and passes it off as there own. There are many big time instructors making a great living off of their little secret yellow book.

And Homer did develop his own unique ideas like 6-B1-D, Flying Wedges and the Hit Stroke Pattern to name a few. It isn’t all just a catalog book.

Lynn has reached out and taught many professionals this past year. I see TGM seeping into even GD articles that wasn’t there in the past. Even Flick was teaching Impact Fix the last time he was on TGC-AL. McLean now lists Homer as an influence.
