What's the latest on the final edition???
Tommy also mentioned on the tape that he had 120 one hour cassette tapes of his 10-day school with Homer....the first authorized class of TGM on tape. At the time, someone in New York was making copies of the tapes!!! I wonder who has them now??? A copy of those tapes would be awesome!!! Something like that should be in the PGA Golf Museum in New Jersey...

Homer Kelley died on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1983. On his desk was the completed 7th Edition of
The Golfing Machine. In the intervening twenty-two years, the official word has been: "The 7th Edition will be published soon." To date, that promise remains unfulfilled.
The recent sale of the entire rights to former co-owner
Joe Daniels ushers in a new day and a new promise. The work is there. It has
been there. It has only to be published by those with the right to do so. And so the Golf World waits. Go to
www.thegolfingmachine.com to to learn of any progress and to email your thoughts.
Regarding the 1981 Master Class with
Alex Sloan, Tom Tomasello and
Larry Aspinson: The nine-day class was the first of only three Homer lived to conduct. It was indeed audio-taped -- unfortunatey, the 120 hours is a bit of a stretch -- and has now been converted to CD. As have been the second and third Master Classes, including my own in January 1982.
Whether or not that
Collection belongs in a PGA golf museum is debatable. Remember, there already is the
USGA site, not to mention my personal choice, the
World Golf Hall of Fame!
Until then, continue to read my posts. When you do, you are 'listening' to the recorded words of Homer Kelley:
All of them...
