Besides TGM by Kelley here are some of the golf books that I love that confirm what Homer found and/or reinforce his basic concepts. Williams book is a jewel of info if you like the science. Hall's is simply great. The Johnson book has drills with plane board and brooms that are GREAT. Alex Hay was ahead of Homer and right on target (FLW/Bent Right).
The Science of the Golf Swing
by Dave Williams
How to Win the Three Games of Golf
by Hank Johnson
Martin Hall's Golf Myths Exposed
by Martin Hall, Steve Hosid
The Mechanics of Golf
by Alex Hay
The search for the perfect swing
by A. J. Cochran, John Stobbs
Does anyone have any others they recommend?
Just thought I would ask.
Martin Hall's Golf Myths book is the only one that I haven't read. But, I can't find it on Amazon.com. There aren't even any used copies. I've also searched the rest of the Internet. Does anybody know where I can get it? Anybody with an extra copy?
Thanks

Hogan,Snead,Byrd and many more went to "Wild" Bill Mehlhorn, member in the first Ryder Cup Team, when help was needed.
His book GOLF SECRETS EXPOSED, is one that everybody should have. Very interesting reading on how the "oldies" swung the club. And the ideas are,imo, still valied today

I strongly endorse Bill Mehlhorn's book.
In August 1990, I met Bobby Shave, the co-author and inspiration behind the book and the guy who recorded the sessions. [The book is basically a transcription of several Q&As with members of the Florida International University golf team in Miami.] Later, I spent time with him hitting shag balls and talkin' golf in an open field near his home in Homestead, Florida. Two years later, Hurricane Andrew destroyed the city, and I lost contact.
The personal history and stories are great -- Hagen, Hogan, Vardon, Sarazen, Diegel, Armour, Picard, Runyan, Bulla, Demaret, Locke, Boros, Jones...they're all there -- and to this day, I use several of his drills in most every Academy class and private lesson. Drill I educates the Pivot with its Weight Transfer. Drill II educates the Arms and Hands in their Body-Related Hinge Action. Drill III educates the Hands as to their Basic Fanning Motion. Drill IV, the Right Forearm Takeaway and return to Impact Fix. With Drill V, you can actually 'see' the Plane. Drills VI-XIII are more of the same, and Plate IX illustrates the golfing Ideal from a down-the-line view -- "the arms swinging up, down and up as the legs rotate the body."
It is hard to find. Yoda has the original article posted here somewhere. Book is similar but longer. I recommend it if you can find it but read the article here to decide.

I recently acquired a copy of "Henry Cotton - My Golfing Album". I found it a very interesting read and worth getting if an instruction book junkie like me.
I also got at the same time "Sam Snead - How to play Golf". Fabulous pictures and definately worth getting for that alone.
Just started the book by Printer and Bertrand which chronicles work with Schlee and Hogan. Thus far it is interesting and if the first chapters are indicators, more secrets to come. If nothing else, I hope to learn more about John Schlee since I met him way back in the early, early 80s in conjunction with a Maximum Golf School visit (my dad, not me). Interesting guy, and my dad swore by his teaching so much that I eventually got Maximum Golf book and tape which I found not too useful (but I didn't go to the school).
I will let out more details as I read.
