I don't want to get into defending these other people...but exactly what is in TGM was new that hadn't been spoke before.
Granted Homer cataloged and named/renamed a number of items, but with out any credit by Homer to his sources, one might wonder why and or who?
I just picked up a book, dated 1941, the first place I open too, totally random was a diagram showing the Hula Dancer..there were other references which you can find in TGM. I can name a number of items that I have come across in other publications. E. Jones and pen knife and rag (the rope), etc. That in no way IMO takes away from TGM.
Do not take this in anyway to put down TGM. It is just that unless you quote it exactly, I don't see that the person has necessarily done anything wrong.
Now I posted in another thread what disturbs me the most is that version 7 is the last of Homer's works. It ends there. Now it is on those who have adopted TGM to pick up the torch and go forward. Yoda certainly has done that IMO. TGM LLC effort to train more AI is also an effort. But to be honest until we get Leadbetter to stand up and say 'This is great stuff', every instructor should read it and then some other's , I fear that TGM is destine to be a 3rd class citizen in the golf regarding acknowledgment. What we need is Yoda's best seller on Golf, G.O.L.F and TGM, but I fear that may not be possible if TGM LLC claims copyright/trademark, etc.
But for a few of us, which is growing in numbers, we are fortunate to have this site...
