The G.O.L.F. Authorized Instructor ("AI") program was established by Homer Kelley, author of the landmark textbook, The Golfing Machine. It has always required an initial certification in what is termed Golf Stroke Engineering and, in addition, an ongoing annual renewal (currently $150). The three levels of certification are Bachelor (GSEB); Master (GSEM); and Doctor (GSED).
Lynn,
I just finished watching a video web show of an instructor who instead of covering the topics on the list was to bash the way homer wrote TGM and your instruction. I know there are going to be differences in TGM instruction Men will be Men but this is not the way it should be. I just want to say that you are the real deal and offer more about TGM with your web site than any of the so called Cesar’s or Napoleons of the golf instruction world and I just want to thank you again for it.

I assume from your post that the "instructor" in question is an Authorized Instructor of The Golfing Machine, LLC, and publicly proclaims that fact. Hence, as an "insider", his inflammatory words carry more weight and are particularly damaging to the movement he is part of and claims to support.
The quote below does not apply directly to the situation you've described, but it does make the point:
"If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him -- speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of the time, and the rest of the time work against him. I would give an undivided service or none. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness."
-- Elbert Hubbard
There is a not-so-fine line between being an innovative force for change within an organization (for the benefit of all) and being deliberately divisive and controversial within that same organization (for one's own purpose).

Sounds to me like that line was crossed.
Yes you are correct. He is an authorized TGM instructor G.S.E.D.
So who are we talking about, anyways? And what is his assertion? There's no reason why we can't speak freely, right?
By the way, I think we are defined by how we deal with our detractors, no matter how ridiculous they, or their assertions are. Detractors actually encourage people to become more informed about TGM, and in the end, thats what it's all about. So, I think whatever the perceived initial damage may be, it will ultimately be helpful.
IMHO, TGM is on it's way, and people like Lynn Blake and Chuck Evans will continue to enjoy steadily increasing popularity and success.
I'm all for free speech and differences of opinion but how valid is it if he has to drag someone else down to make his point?
State your POV and let your words and actions speak for themselves. Otherwise it just makes him look very insecure and petty.
just my .05 cents.
Ah, the his way and everything else is just showbiz guy. He seems like he honestly wants to help folks, thats a cool thing. I still think he's just, indirectly, advancing the cause (TGM).
What you resist...persists! If you want to learn about HOMER KELLEY'S The Golfing Machine THIS is the place to be. HK solved the puzzle and some people resent him for it! Go figure
Ironic that "The Stallion" is merely a Trojan horse made up from the wreckage of the vessel he himself has sailed in!
My mom has given me better golf lessons than M-dog did in the 3 hours he had to work with me. He gave me the WORST lesson I have ever gotten by far, and I had to drive 20 hours to get it.
Smoke and mirrors.

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)
