To the Group: If you were in charge of writing the 8th edition, what changes would you make if any from your favorite edition (and what edition is your favorite)?
An edition someone could pick up - read AND understand it.
I am really surprised a laymans version of the book has not been authored. This site has done it for me but not everyone knows to search the net for the answers.

A lot can be said in defense of simplifying the material in TGM. I have struggled many years while being confounded by much of the information. I still find myself struggling over many things.
But I'm also surprised at how simple things become when explained and demonstrated by a very knowledgeable instructor. I'm not sure that the written word can express as much as demonstration. But demonstration alone doesn't give you the "Why" or place emphasis where sometimes it needs to be in order for one to "put" things in perspective. So explanation and background information will be helpful.
I think that "Video Presentations" are getting better and better and I look forward to learning from "Alignment Golf II". I'm patient and I know how precise Yoda wants to be. I'm sure that enthusiasts and Instructors alike will appreciate the valuable contribution this DVD is going to make.
It may not be long before Golf Magazines begin including video presentations in their packaging or offering expanded video presentations for their On-Line publications for participating instructors. Certainly, golf stroke theorists and enthusiasts both would enjoy such an opportunity.

Your posts, drawings, and work here have been a HUGE help in that area as well Daryl. We don't say THANK YOU enough!

I would like to see pictures of players demonstrating the positions/principles and from there perhaps describe where it's going from there. Ideally, a TGM book of patterns would be awesome but I don't see that happening. In it's place... maybe a chapter on Compatible Components.
