Right you are,
O.B.
Unforunately, the author (and those he may have relied on for accurate information) dropped the ball on this one.
Homer Kelley played many rounds between the end of his indoor training and the 77 he himself referenced in the preface to the first three editions (1969, 1971 and 1975). Also per these first three editions, the time was
four months (not five).
Too bad, as this fantastic statement strains credibility from the outset ("outset" being defined as the introductory notes on the dust cover's inside flap).
