Teach,

I hear what you are saying regarding the lingo. I'm sure as a teacher it's virtually impossible for you to throw out TGM lingo to a student who obviously wouldn't have a clue what you are talking about. You probably also can't expect your students to read and absorb the book.

Having said all of that, what I really like about the book is Homer Kelley identified components and gave them names. With the components identified and named, it becomes very easy to talk very specifically with others who are also familiar with the book and the terms. I'm very analytical and so I LOVE that TGM is written just like it is written.

I like being able to say "right forearm flying wedge" and know exactly what that means without having to describe it with 5 or more sentences.

There are certainly a lot of people on this site who are very literate with the TGM lingo and so you will see it being used in many discussions here. I wouldn't label that "elitist" necessarily.

I also believe most golfers out there will never want to be bothered with learing any of the TGM technical terms. I think that is where the challenge lies for the teachers out there. Most golfers are not students of the swing. They just want their slices cured!
