Although the PGA as an organization has not adopted TGM as it's model, many of it's members are using it. Whether openly or shall we say in the closet. At the 2006 PGA Teaching and Coaching Summit, several of the presenters made direct reference to, and gave credit to TGM. Jim Mclean recognized Ben Doyle as an influence in his development as an instructor, and had Mr. Doyle as a guest instuctor at his school outside of Dallas. Martin Hall's presentation featured many key concepts from TGM. He openly gave credit to TGM and Homer Kelley.

Although, I have used TGM as a source of information, my understanding of was shadowy. To use a metaphor, many of the trees looked familiar, but I didn't know which forest I was in. Mr. Hall's presentation inpired me to seek more information on TGM.

Today, as an A.I., I know that I am in the TGM forest and enjoy exploring it and trying to develop a deeper understanding of it. As a member of the PGA, I am proud of the to be linked with the Association and fellow members. To my fellow members I would advise you to become well versed in TGM. The times are changnging. TGM is the wave of the future. Learn it or become lost in it's wake.
