I tend to agree with you (further evidence of my descent into the abyss!) But you know as well as I do...heck you know even better than me that the process of "decoding, deciphering, hand wringing, hair pulling, wailing and gnashing (pronounced with an unsilent g) of ivories is one of Homer Kelley's enduring contributions. You are top 1% in terms of knowledge... few have turned over more yella rocks than you have. HK has reordered a neural pathway...or two...don't ya think? In addition to more information than any one person can use in a golfing lifetime, there are some very pertinent philosophical applications to be enjoyed from the book. Mr. Kelley may not have been an engineer in the educational sense...a classic case of not being educated into embicility. I love to be around thinkers...even if it is interacting with the written words they left us. It is a thinking person's book, and may never enjoy the public acclaim it richly deserves, although I think certain stroke patterns will see the light of day. The hardest work is REAL thought. You gotta wrastle with it. Personally, Bucket, I am glad you started wrastling with it before I did. Of course, we are all thankful for Yoda taxing his neural pathways. I hope not too many cells fell by the wayside
Tom Tomasello called the book "a masterpiece", but even he admitted that without the help of an A.I. that it would most likely not make much sense.
The book sales are probably better than they used to be... but if the book was made more readable, it would probably sell quite well... maybe even be a BEST SELLING golf instruction book.
The influence of TGM is starting to become more obvious to the public. Lynn now has a tour winner, and others that are doing very well. It is also becoming known that the Stack and Tilt teachers believe in the value of TGM. Other teachers are now giving TGM some credit as a valuable tool. At the last P.G.A. Teaching and Coaching Summit I attended, several of the presenters mentioned TGM and Ben Doyle in a positive manner. Of course Mr. O'Grady also got much of his information from TGM.

I wonder if any of you think as I do regarding AI's straying from the path. I've found that any lack of perfectly clear understanding of TGM concepts causes one to search elsewhere for rationalization and solutions.
I couldn't pick O'Grady from a police line-up, but I would assume 'misunderstanding' of anyone finding so much wrong with the Yellow Book. So many think they understand the constructs. Just like Bucket, who thinks he understands the concept of the “Endless Belt”, yet totally abuses and exploits its application. Who would think? Even more alarming is that the current owners of the 7th edition may possibly misunderstand it too.

Beavis . . . Please school me on how I have missed the boat on Endless Belt . . . I'm sure you'll have your opportunity to pick people out of police line up at the big throwdown in October when you and Mike O shack up in a hotel room/van.
Waiting patiently on your Endless Belt analysis . . . start another thread . . . game on.

4. Props for Hjacknicklaus...a true gentleman!
1. Better organization thru multimedia technology could make this book COME ALIVE . . . for everybody . .. it TRULY be a book for the "duffer" . . . if properly organized and the concepts were demonstrated in bite sized portions. When you can see it . . . it really ain't that big of a deal.
2. Your slumming around this website is counter to this statement . . .did you mean "stinkers?"
3. The greatest priniciple of economics is . . . . the COLLECTIVE KNOWLEDGE of the market is GREATER than any one man's knowledge could ever be . .. same with the Yellow book . . . we all stand atop the shoulders of those that have gone before us . . . just pray that Mike O isn't the one climbing up your back . . . bring your cork.
