Mr. Sloan is one of the original instructors of the Machine and a wonderful gentleman. A collective prayer from LBG couldn't hurt!

Alex Sloan
 

Such a very nice man.

I bought his video, which arrived with a personal message and an invitation to ask if I needed further help or clarification.

I asked and Alex replied always; although sometimes with a little delay depending on how he was feeling following surgery.

He is a true gentleman and in my prayers at this difficult time.

Indeed, a top man.

Alex Sloan attended the 1st GSEM course in Seattle with Homer. Our own Lynn Blake attended the second course in January of '82.

Here is a great photo from those early days inside Homers studio. I believe this is from the "Pioneer" class of '81. Those were interesting times!

That entire studio should be reproduced in the World Golf Hall of Fame. Maybe some day.

Get well soon Mr Sloan.

Remembering Alex
 

I found out about the yellow book when Bobby Clampett led the Open. I got it, read it and thought it had something to offer. I saw Alex Sloan's add in a Golf Journal offering help and went to Turtle Point to see him. We spent three days in the pro shop reading the book. He was my first authorized instructor. Many fond memories and I still got emails from him last year. My thoughts are with him.

Roll Call
 

Actually, I attended Homer's third (and final) GSEM (Golf Stroke Engineering Master) certification course (in January 1982). There were five participants.

Alex and Tommy attended the first (in January 1981). There were three participants.

The second class (with Bruce Hough) was held in October 1981 and had four participants.

In total, that would make twelve students. An ample discipleship, don't you think?

I'll update this post -- in another thread -- with the names of those who attended each class when I return from Hawaii and have my records available.

Homer Kelley died on February 14th -- Valentine's Day -- 1983. Prior to his formal GSEM classes, he had individually certified Ben Doyle, the well-known first Authorized Instructor. Later, he certified Dick Farley and several of Dick's Swing's the Thing Golf School instructors in a private event.

Other than these few, I know of no other instructors personally trained by Homer Kelley.

Get Well
 

Heard your name in reverence many times Mr Sloan,my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

I purchased Mr. Sloan's dvd, received a phone call and spoke with him regarding the swing. Also received emails up to last year. Nice gentleman, can really simplify the swing. Our thoughts are with him.

Homer's Masters
