Spread the Word
...and the WORD when translated to ACTION will speak for itself. I would only hazard to guess that Mr. Kelley would be more concerned about spreading the Truth rather than worrying about whether due credit was given back to him. Too much about what has been written about golf mechanics has its foundation from what was taught and learned from others in the past. Why spend so much time and energy concerned about who gets the credit. Let others waste their energy on DUE CREDIT and WHO'S THE BEST.

Once again- it is about Intellectual Property and preventing others from capitalizing on original ideas without due credit. Again- Homer would tell you that he didn't invent the golf swing but he did develop- Extensor Action, Flying Wedges, Accumulators, etc. These are Intellectual Property, original concepts. I hope you take and use these concepts for all they're worth. But a teacher that earns a living should at the very least, know who built their career. Homer Kelley should be at the top of the list, not some footnote or private resource for many. Others get credit, it is time Homer and his life earns some respect also.

so many great posts...
Spread the message correctly and some will seek to know the source and not just the messenger. If good TGM instruction gets out to the public, no matter who delivers that instruction, there will be some who want to discover where this good stuff really came from! Then just wait for the ripples... but at the moment the pond is small... get the message out there into the ocean and wait for the ripples ... suddenly "surfs up"!

Patience is the key... Homer spent 40+years doing it ...

How many of us post on the internet on TGM specific sites but don't write to golf magazines ? Have you seen the average standard of "letters to the editor"?? How many times does "Slow play" get "letter of the month"!!!!

I suggest gentle letters to a few editors and see what happens. Lets not appear too crazy!! Maybe Bucket had better put his pen down now and stand away from paper!! Can he write anyway??

Another win
To all eyes and ears,

Chiragh Kumar secured a top ten finish with a score of 9 under in the Indian Open which is an Asian Tour event and won the Ametuer title. Joseph Chakola couldnt play as he is representing the country in the Eisenhower Cup in South Africa. We have three Asian games entrants who are TGM students which are the above two and Meghna Bal.

I am trying to get TGM ALL OVER the Indian Subcontinent and in the coming year shall hopefully fulfill my committment to my cause. The talent is flowing in to the stable and hopefully will bring laurels to the teachings of TGM and of course the man himself - Homer Kelly.

I'm trying to reach out and tell the Indian young talent to understand the geometry of alignments and physics of rotation and absorb and apply the TRUTH. Not the myths and theory --- and they will prevail. THATS THE GOAL.

Look out guys G.O.L.F. in India is happenning.

Vikram

Tremendous work Vikram, keep on rolling.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Bucket is on vacation -- he said something about 'camping' -- and out-of-pocket over the next couple of weeks. I don't think 'the Missus' is allowing him near a computer, so don't be surprised at his posting holiday.

A few years back I wrote to Golf Mag about honoring Homer Kelley in their Hall of Fame. That it would be nice to do this while Sally was a live. I asked others to follow up with a letter. I never hear a word from them. I have written Golf Tips mag about a TGM column- nothing. Even my paper doesn't want to do a story but wrestling away story space from a golf writer is like messing with his wife. I have tried. I do think it is a crime for Homer's work to go uncredited.

I guessed it had been tried before ... but no harm in persisting. I will send one off, let the trickle begin...
