Bobby is not your normal guy. He's not only one of the greatest ballstrikers in the world, but also changed jobs mid-career into one of the best worldwide commentators. Knows what to say and what not to say on que.
He knows and loves the book; Loves Homer and Ben, but admittedly hasn't experienced all that TGM offers. Haven't we all.
IMHO, he experimented with procedures that didn't fit his swing and it didn't work out to his advantage. At the highest level of competition who can blame him and let's admit it, the wealth of information contained between the two yellow covers is hard to resist.
He's a gifted player and person. Not a teacher in the true sense, but knows the book very, very well.
Would love to meet him one day, but personally I think the green guy has it all figured out.

Bobby has natural golfing talent. He is an Angle Hinging Swinger- go figure- that compresses the ball second to very few. It is a shame that his melt down was at the Open in front of the eyes of the golfing world. A student of Ben Doyle, Bobby spoke with Homer on the phone many times but never took a lesson with him in person. Ben and Bobby both carried TGM in full view of the public for many years.
But Bagger, you are Ker-rect! Nobody explains Homer like Yoda. We have been GREATLY spoiled to have so much given to us these past few years.
I think the "by the book" "machine heads" who have really studied the book aren't going to get as much from it as the people who haven't been exposed to TGM. Those people if they read it VERY CAREFULLY will get a whole lot from it, a lot of very good concepts that most golfers aren't familiar with and a truly wonderful golf book.
