Here is some initial feedback from the Land Down Under

most people on golf forums wld love to play better golf and feel the thrill of a crushed drive or 3 or 5 wood and would not have any idea what it wld feel like to have a fireside chat with Homer

I notice a lot of people mention a TGM link then go on to explain or suggest that they can expand, clarify or Inserrt word of your choice here on what Homer really meant etc and they just happen to sell services or products to bring golfers up to speed

Sally Kelley must be a lovely lady

Its great there is a tradition of a teacher passing on a chela to another teacher in the golf tradition you come from as that is a long standing spiritual tradition so thats wonderfull to see

Its great u played against countless top players as it shows u come from a tradition of mixing it with the best

they are my initial thoughts on yr first 2 or 3 paragraphs

regarding the book u are working on:

u mention 3 key areas that begin with P then a number of Ps like (but not limited to) putting, practice, precision - this might be a bit confusing to a lot of yr intened audience

how long have u been working on the book - I only ask this because I know a guy who has been working on a book forever - so my thought wld be set a deadline

a few other thoughts:

humility is a nice quality to have so its nice u are trying to contribute and not replace TGM but just make it more golfdom friendly - thank god as Forums are full of TGM posts that do it to death

we tend to be a bit more down to earth in Australia ( althought I do concede anyone can be marketed to so dont exclude us from yr target audience ) and my feeling is that a lot of Aussies might feel yr post is a bit of self marketing when in fact that may not be your intention at all

your post covers a lot of territory and we are not sure what feedback u are seeking

one of our 14 year old district juniors that I play and practice with sometimes shot 4 under par today for the second day in a row and I just scratch my head when I see how he mixes his patterns

it does make u wonder what this kid could really do if he really knew what was going on

he was really excited about it and could not wait to tell me and anyone else who wld listen - good on the kid I say

sorry if I didn't really answer yr post and got off topic as I was not really sure how we cld assist u

please feel free to post any further questions u may have

PS:

i just had a thought - u have a number of videos out which seem to cover a lot of the ground u cover in yr post

in this modern age of CDs, DVDs etc why not just package them together and sell them as a set - total hard cost wld be maybe $10 and they cld be retailed at $?

I have a number of ideas with respect to this

please PM me if u wld like to discuss how this might best be achieved
