I think a list can be misleading. I'm sure Cook didn't give any instruction to Payne Stewart. Payne's dad made sure nobody messed with his son's stroke. Not evry PGA instructor with an AI teaches bible TGM.

Gring worked with Durant and Faxon. Faxon left and I believe came back. Pros tend to go from instructor to instructor.

Holder who went to the same Master class with Lynn Blake coached Howell III, Verplank and others.

Homer had many Tour players stop by his house at one time or another.

Doyle worked with Elkington and of course Clampett. I'm sure like Homer many have stopped by his cart to see what the lowdown is all about.

Lynn works with Gay, Riegger, Williamson, Kraft, Lancaster and others. More importantly, big time top 50 instructors have been calling the Swamp to see Yoda.

Mark Blackburn works with Heath Slocum and Boo Weekly.

Rob Noel has taught Brian Watts, Grant Waite and others.

Chuck Evans work with Waite, Craig Perks (won the players with that chip shot one year at TCP).

David Orr has worked with Neal Lancaster for many years and a bunch of college players with big time games.

O'Grady of course learned from Homer and taught many, like Orr, Bennett and Plummer, who now teach so many Tour guys.

Bennett and Plummer, who knows a LOT of TGM, have worked with Dean Wilson, Will MacKenzie, Tim Herron and Badds, etc.

So is every AI, pure TGM? No.
Steeped in Imperatives? Big Time.
Understands the difference between illusion and science. Yup.

This list doesn't even cover Australia or Europe.

I know Chuck Cook... he was Payne's teacher for several years. He may not have taught him with terms from TGM(may have), but a teacher doesn't necessarily have to use the terms with a player, to get results. Payne could definately play. He is still missed.
