Just my Point of View- what what it is worth(less).

Instructors many of us are not. But this is and may be the only place where you can talk verse and chapter. I don’t have a golf instructor- this forum is my instructor. Many decided that they wanted to understand The Golfing Machine without the burden of earning a living as a golf instructor and I believe Yoda understood that many non- professionals wanted to understand what Homer Kelley wrote when he began this forum. If Kelley’s book were to be left only in the minds of golf instructors, it would again old day revert back into obscurity. Thousands knowing a little is better than hundreds knowing much.

You can learn verse and chapter here; you can learn a golf stroke on the lesson tee. It is a heck of a lot easier for an instructor to speak TGM to me than what passes as instruction elsewhere. But I’m lucky. Instructors like yourselves can’t cater only to machine heads and pay the bills. I chose not to go to an AI who said he doesn’t teach using TGM terminology; that wasn’t going to help me one bit in the long run. I know I am not the run of the mill golfer looking to grab a lesson package and I know how tough it is to be an independent contractor and earn a living.

The ‘Home Office’ never cared about forums like LBG or even their old one. They seem to be embarrassed by amateurs talking verse and chapter. They want to sell books but not teach it except through an AI who may or not want to teach through it.

off topic-
I’d like to know what the Home Office thinks about Lynn Blake and his Tour guys that are doing so well. What was their reaction to hearing Lynn’s name mentioned with The Golfing Machine- an ex-AI who they said never sold a copy of the book for them- on National TV?
