He told me on the driving range at Deer Track (1993)...."if you want to get this game in your hip pocket, you have to learn both swinging and hitting". Thank god, I made recordings of my instruction.

Funny thing....Tommy taught out of the book when I studied with him in 1993.....in the 12 DVD set he's teaching out of the book, in fact, I bought another copy of the 7th edition to follow his instruction and make notes. I'm having a hard time following your comments above...

I'm surprised through all of the exchanges about Tomasello's instruction you didn't make the above comments much earlier?

DG,

Tomasello was known as the "Billy Graham" of TGM. His enthusiasm and passion for TGM and his desire to learn and teach created an amicable bond between he and Mr. Kelley. Also, he was one of the "Keepers of the Light" during the dark years after Homer's death.

The comment regarding Hitting were his, not mine. He also added during the presentation, that as Hitters get older they will lose distance, develop back problems, their Hips will hurt and they will have all kinds of disc disorders, if they persist in Hitting. Everyone should be a Swinger like Sam Snead. I am sure these comments took Mr. Kelley by surprise, but we will never know.
