New Book

[BurleyGolf]

Does anyone know anything about this new book? Not my new book, but the new TGM book (Homer Kelley's Golfing Machine: The Curious Quest That Solved Golf)...

Just was woundering I saw it being talked about on another golf forum that I read on, and thought I would ask.

I wonder who he interviewed?

I wonder who he interviewed?

Scott Gummer called twice, and we talked.

First, I satisfied myself as to his motives. Then, I answered his questions and filled in the blanks based on my personal experiences with Homer Kelley.

I never heard from him again.

I got a global email from him this morning announcing the book and soliciting a marketing effort.

Having received no complimentary copy for my previous or solicited effort, I'll order it now. [Knowing its content is part of my job description.]



If you are similarly inclined, go here for an immediate 33 percent discount http://www.amazon.com/Homer-Kelleys-...351382&sr=1-1).

For those more patient, know that books not self-published and not in serious demand are often 'remaindered' after four months. After which, you may be able to obtain a copy for shipping costs.

Thanks Yoda-

I was not sure if it was worth buying and was not sure if I should post about it here. Maybe I will wait a few monts. Thanks.

I'm buying a copy. Just to learn about Salley and how she coped. I called her about twenty years ago when I lost a copy of the book. She said that she only had a few left but would sell me one of them if I promised that I was serious about learning TGM.

I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday....should receive it on Tuesday. Looking forward to reading about Homer's influence on Morgan Pressels golf swing. What AI taught Morgan???

...For those more patient...

I won't touch anything TGM/Homer Kelley related until it passes muster with Mr. Blake.

Hi Asleep,

It's a great day to be a believer! My copy was just delivered and I am diving in. I'm not a fast reader, just taking my time and enjoying it. I think it is very well written, and I hope Yoda is pleased.

In the forward Steve Elkington explains he has been putting the book [The Golfing Machine] to the test under the toughest of conditions for a dozen years. "I have found EVERYTHING in the book to be true." That got my heart thumping. Take that you guys who think "book literalist" is negative!

Just got my copy. Forward by Steve Elkington. He did thank you, Lynn, in the acknowledgements. I have to work today, but I will definitely curl up with this tomorrow.

Good to hear, efnef. I felt that more than a little was left on the table and was surprised not to hear from him again.

I sincerely hope the book is at least a critical success. Despite the mammoth contribution that Scott's subject, Homer Kelley, made to the game, its chances as a commercial success are slim. That's not a knock; it's just recognition that making money in the book business is very tough. It will be interesting to see how the book is marketed.

All that could change, of course, if TGM-trained performers continue to make their mark on the various Tours worldwide, and in turn, in the international media.
