In many ways I think Diane was the most important supporting character in the book, as she was Homer's only co-worker, the only person with insights into what he did and how he did it given that he was making it up as he went and she was Homer's guinea pig (both in front of the camera and during the lessons he gave her as barter for her modeling).
Hard to imagine Homer's book--or mine--without her.

Mr Gummer,
Just a quick note of thanks for your book. I loved it, and I believe it is a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves the work of Homer Kelley.
Thank You,
Kevin

We could make up some wild story and sell it to the the "Star" weekly like we did in college for the odd $50.
Something like "Hidden Ecological Disaster Warnings in Homer Kelly's Best-selling Book on Golf Reveal Mr Kelly Is an alien and Will Soon Return To Save the Planet!"
We could throw in the photo-manips you do with that cool miniature blue code. We mention Yoda in passing and "Strange Events in Cuscowilla." We do this twice a year for a couple of years and write a screen play like "Blair Witch Project."
Whadya think, Pilgrim?

I read the book as well before I dared to open the Golfing Machine.
Most interesting to me was basically all background information and especially the stories with Bobby Clampett.
My key learnings from this book are:
- do what you love to do, that's the only way to achieve satisfaction
- stay focussed and if you deviate, get back to basics
- do not try to force to accomplish
Thanks to Scott, and esp to the community here, Yoda, Tom,.....
Cheers
Frank
