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.
