I was just on the TGM site looking at the list of Authorized Instructors. A lot of names have been removed. Anyone know the significance (if any) of this?

The Authorized Instructor designation is subject annually to the instructor's submission of an AI Agreement and The Golfing Machine, LLC's acceptance of same. Also, an annual fee of $150 plus an additional $25 late fee, if applicable. Those requirements were due on November 15th.

Instructors who elected not to renew are no longer recognized as Authorized Instructors by TGM, LLC, and have been removed from 'The List.' Or at least most of them have. Some who have not paid -- and who will not pay -- have apparently received a special dispensation.

Personally, for reasons that were carefully considered and that pertain only to me, I concluded that I can better serve the vision of Homer Kelley from outside the organization than from within.

That could change, of course, but that's how it is for now.
