Thanks for your post, Yoda. I'll print it & tuck it inside the back of my book. Please accept if the incubation process is longer for earthlings

Sidenote:

Make no mistake. I cherish the book and find Homers work simply stunning and amazing. For me personally there are no strings attached and no but's when it comes to give credit to Homes work.

Reason? The Golfing Machine has helped me tremendously.

I spent some 13 years golfing (or should I say goofing around) without knowing of the existence of the book. In retrospect I feel all those years I was one of zillions of hackers contributing to 'spending eons of man years trying to eliminate effect instead of cause' on the driving range and occasionally spending less conclusive time with what I now consider pretty average instructors, magazines and books.

My schedule does not allow spending extensive time practicing or digging deep into the system developed by Homer Kelley. But the few things I HAVE grasped (through the book, TGM gurus and TGM forums) have made a huge contribution to my game and this made it far more enjoyable. Not the least since it explains concepts that were previously pretty much in deep fog and sometimes enables me to provide small and productive hints to fellow golfers. And not to mention yesterdays birdie on that 596 yard par 5.

Since 'Homer was all about helping people play better golf' I believe he did what he set out to do.

I feel he did not just try to do it. He actually did it. So does this forum.
