Off topic first..

1. I don't believe many golf instructors/coaches, etc actually quote or attempt to quote verbatim. Therefore I am not sure they are obligated or required to name sources.

2. Most of the time golf instructors/coaches, etc reference another instructor, it seem to me that they are doing it to gain creditability in what they saying themselves.

3. With all the documentation in existence in golf and all the exposure one recieves, often it is multiple sources that the information is from as well as only the parts that they have adopted usually through testing. In this process they merge it into what they already have.

Just something for others to think about.

Getting to be a top dog, a known top 100 instructor is cut throat for some. I think it would suck big time to see some one pop up on Academy Live with dowels and worked the Incline Plane and Impact Fix or if they started to speak specific TGM concepts and receive credit as if it was their work. It will happen.

Hall recited almost verbatim the lawful obedience of a struck ball that veered into the water that Homer wrote about. No biggie here but as I said- the book seems to be a source that many instructors think nobody else knows of.

And Evershed papered one of his walls with an eight foot page from The Golfing Machine and read it directly. No problem given Hogan credit when he stepped over to that papered wall from Hogan’s book. Why not Homer? I know Evershed respects the guy but he seems to hide him from view.

Obscurity is not in the best interest of TGM. It has come a long way since the early internet forums, 8 or 9n yrs ago. The internet and TGM are perfect together.
