In this first release, Homer talks with Lynn Blake for the first time.
Holy Smoke!!!!! You are my G.O.L.F. Hero!!!! Awesome!!!! This is truly amazing. This is the first time I have had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Kelley. My initial observations would be that the man OWNED this information. You can hear the conviction in his voice. It seems that there is no question he couldn't answer . . . COMPLETELY! The second observation is that he seems to be all about the "possibilities." As long as you adhere to the basic geometry, you can do anything you like.

The book is a truly amazing piece of work, but to actually hear the man himself is unreal. There was obviously WAY WAY more in his mind than what actually made it into print.

Those of you that were fortunate enough to go to the AI Schools and speak on the phone with Mr. Kelley were truly blessed.

I can't wait to hear more. This is exactly the type of stuff that needs to get out. Thank you sir.

Fantastic - I guess it takes a little brainwork for all of us to get some of the concepts of the golfing machine. Hinge action - turning, rolling, swivel???

Hinge Action is the Left Wrist remaining Vertical to one of the Three Basic Planes. Swivel Action (or Wrist Action) is Turning or Rolling away from that Vertical condition.

With Horizontal and Angled Hinge Action, the Vertical Left Wrist appears to Roll through Impact. However, as long as the Wrist remains Vertical, there has been no independent rotation of the Hand (and hence no Swivel).

Well I liked hearing it - of course

But at the same time I don't know if it was correct of Peter Croker to put it on the web as it really something that belonged to Lynn and Tom collectively.... just IMO

It was great to hear though....

Dear Mathew,

In respect for Homer, Lynn, and Tom Tomasello, I posted this audio conversation at the time.
Tom was a very special person and was close to Lynn and myself along with many others. To pay respect to all three was my intention and Tom gave me access to his audio conversations with the idea of sharing his experiences with the world. Not to hide such information away.

Lynn has posted a video of Tom which I produced with Tom Tomasello when he did a teaching tour of Australia with me. It was one of the most memorable times of my life.
His memory lives on with his recorded messages going out to all who wish to listen.

Kindest regards,

Peter

don't know if anyone will see this but here goes anyway.

Its a shame that these conversations don't appear to be available any longer.

Its a lost opportunity to those of us who are new to TGM, Homer, Yoda, and Tom Tomasello.

What I wouldn't give to be able to listen in on what sounds like a fascinating conversation.

Its a shame!

What a treat that is!

Thank you very much for posting it, I look forward to hearing more!

I loved his response..... "you guys need to get into chapter 2, that's where all this stuff is explained"

Homer, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
And so it began...

I am amazed that Lynn still sounds the same 25+ years later and how much he knew, before he ever talked to Mr. Kelley. The little yellow book is much easier to read when you have a guide.
