Not a surprise at all. It's far too difficult for the average weekend golfer. If the list were for the most important instructional books for Teachers, The Golfing Machine would be right at the top.

Who invented 2+2? What is a Jungian Archetype?

Since last March when I started using our book, I have observed every single golf teacher using a "Kellian Archetype." (I know that there were others who knew before Kelly but I am simplifying and bending language and psychological terms for this short point.

Water is wet and the club is better used with the wedges intact. If I'm in heaven (sunny, 76 degrees F.and green) and I see my students using their computer knowledge to be successful and prosperous (legally), do I care if they remember me?

I think I was sarcastic when I expressed surprise. The book is very important for instructors and very dedicated and clever golfers, but for a larger public I think there should be a TGM light or a book with more explanations (a Yoda book)..

1.Not enough publicity and marketing (from the company of TGM?)for the general public,
2.those who earn the degree, most of them do not mention or credit TGM, some just pick up one or two and teach,
3.and the company more focus on training instructor.

One of the books on this list:
"On Learning Golf" by Percy Boomer.
Does anyone know anything about this book - or even recommend it?

I've read it. It's a good and easy read. And the stroke it teaches is the draw. But it is nowhere near TGM as far as a systematic approach, precise terminology and precise information goes.

It was recommended to me by Yoda.

That means that it's indirectly recommended to me, I guess..

I have started to read Boomer's book. Seems ok so far.

Another book that didn't make it is - Paul Runyan: The short way to lower scoring. Isn't this book well known? He was a Corey Pavin and Brian Gay type of player. Not very long with the driver, but a wizard on and around the greens. 29 wins on the PGA tour.
