I was pleasantly surprised to read in a French golf forum that the yellow book was part of the recommended reading for aspiring PGA pro at least in the school held near Paris. At least the student will have been exposed to the machine concepts.
To set the picture, there's only one AI listed in France and where I searched for him on the web it looks like he's in Belgium now. Maybe someday Yoda would come and give a seminar to a French PGA summit and we'll have LBG approved teachers in France...
