Fred,
Congrats on the obvious return to form you're starting to see. I was one who bought the book in the mid-80's (I'm a bit of a golf instruction junkie) and opened it up only to go
?? I promptly put it on the shelf until about 2 years ago. I somehow stumbled across the TGM forum at that time (then the Manzella forum and the Lynn Blake forum) and the book started to "come to life" for me. I get a lot of grief (good-natured for the most part) from my golfing buddies who think I already have a good swing and that I "tinker" too much - but I always wanted to understand the "why" of the swing. TGM supplies that for me - finally. I also have been on the plus side of the handicap line and I think my ball-striking is better now than it's ever been thanks to TGM and the likes of Lynn, Brian, Ben, and the MANY knowledgeable TGM folks on these forums. The wonderful thing about this game is the journey to getting as good as you can be. I know I'm not there yet - and that's an exciting thing.
Keep improving and updating - I always like to hear about how Homer's work is improving the "quality of golf" for those that are passionate about the game.
