The influence of TGM is starting to become more obvious to the public. Lynn now has a tour winner, and others that are doing very well. It is also becoming known that the Stack and Tilt teachers believe in the value of TGM. Other teachers are now giving TGM some credit as a valuable tool. At the last P.G.A. Teaching and Coaching Summit I attended, several of the presenters mentioned TGM and Ben Doyle in a positive manner. Of course Mr. O'Grady also got much of his information from TGM.
I wonder if any of you think as I do regarding AI's straying from the path. I've found that any lack of perfectly clear understanding of TGM concepts causes one to search elsewhere for rationalization and solutions.

I couldn't pick O'Grady from a police line-up, but I would assume 'misunderstanding' of anyone finding so much wrong with the Yellow Book. So many think they understand the constructs. Just like Bucket, who thinks he understands the concept of the “Endless Belt”, yet totally abuses and exploits its application. Who would think? Even more alarming is that the current owners of the 7th edition may possibly misunderstand it too.
