I have never heard Martin Hall, Chuck Cook, or any other A.I. mention Homer or the book during their segments on The Golf Channel. Perhaps this is network policy. Perhaps this is Home Office policy. I have heard Brandel Chablee cite Homer and the Book. Does anyone have any insight or information regarding this?
I can't say why they have never referenced Mr. Kelley. But I will say this is not abonormal behavior for many people in many walks of life. Not everyone gives proper credit or reference to the people with original ideas.

I have both Hall, Cook's and Johnsons books and he is definitely mentioned in the first two as well as the third i think. Mike Hebron speaks lots of him in his book and even has an excellent chapter about the book. Ron Gring mentions Homer a lot in his works that i have seen.
The only times I remember TGM being mentioned on TGC was by Bobby Clampett, in which he had to end up being kind of defensive, because of the questions Peter Kessler was asking him.
I believe Bill Skelley may have also mentioned TGM on an Academy Live.
I believe they think the mention of TGM will be mis-interpretated by the public.
They need to get Ted Fort, Steve Ferguson, or some P.G.A. Member like that. Yoda would be great, but I think they usually only put P.G.A. Members on there... probably because of some contract, but not sure on that.

They had Jason Gore on with his 'instructor' who may not have been a PGA member.
I do recall Martin Hall mentioning TGM on TGC, I think it was the episode about his book "Golf Myths Exposed", but I could be mistaken.
It would be wonderful to see Lynn or Ted on TGC. Perhaps they can schedule that during "Homer Kelley Memorial" week - the new name for the Players Championship, or is it Pebble... yeah, I'd say Pebble would be best.

Interestingly, it was Jason Gore during this episode, who commented on Big Break IV winner Paul Holtby's swing, calling it a Golfing Machine swing.
He was seemingly very composed for a 21 year old on national TV. He may have been extremely nervous, and the time to mention Homer and book may never have presented itself.
He has publicly stated that he studied the Golfing Machine.
He also sounds like he knows the Laws book, also.
I say give the kid a break, and give him some time. He's only 21! What were you doing at 21?
When I was 19 there were no PGM classes, internet and Homer hadn't given his first Master Class. And...I had walk to my A.I. classes, in the middle of winter, barefoot, uphill both ways and we liked it.

Actually the class in the middle of winter was in Southern California, but I did have to walk from the elevator to the class, stopping for coffee and breakfast in the lobby on the way. The good old days.
