Back about 7 years ago, somehow I wanted to go back and study Mac's swing (not sure why, but again, those days I was 'flavor of the month' when studying the swing). I called up the publisher of Golf Digest and ordered the 1987 GD copy with Mac on the cover titled 'Best Swing on Tour?'. In the article, Mac reference seeking out Homer and his book, etc. I then proceeded to see if I could do a web search on 'The Golfing Machine'. Found a contact number so I decided to call and order it....at first, I thought I called the wrong number as a sweet old lady picked up the phone and said, "H-Hello?".

I said, "I'm sorry, I was trying to order a copy of The Golfing Machine but I think I have the wrong number." The voice said, "Oh no, I've got plenty of copies right here." I laughed and she laughed and she asked if she could sign the book for Homer for me...I said sure. I then asked, "Is this Mrs. Kelley?" She said, "I sure hope so!"

And now you know the rest of the story! The copy came about 4 days later....
