Patience is the key... Homer spent 40+years doing it ...

How many of us post on the internet on TGM specific sites but don't write to golf magazines ? Have you seen the average standard of "letters to the editor"?? How many times does "Slow play" get "letter of the month"!!!!

I suggest gentle letters to a few editors and see what happens. Lets not appear too crazy!! Maybe Bucket had better put his pen down now and stand away from paper!! Can he write anyway??
A few years back I wrote to Golf Mag about honoring Homer Kelley in their Hall of Fame. That it would be nice to do this while Sally was a live. I asked others to follow up with a letter. I never hear a word from them. I have written Golf Tips mag about a TGM column- nothing. Even my paper doesn't want to do a story but wrestling away story space from a golf writer is like messing with his wife. I have tried. I do think it is a crime for Homer's work to go uncredited.
