I assume it was Ben Doyle, but maybe not. What AI's, or others, spent the most time learning directly from Homer?

Don Shaw, a Seattle professional, knew Homer for many years, and I've been told that he spent some time with him almost every day the last five years of his life. Also, Bruce Hough, a local amateur no longer local, spent a great deal of time with Homer in the '70s.

I spent only the week of my Master Class with him personally, but we visited a number of other times by telephone. I believe much the same was the case with Alex Sloan, Larry Aspenson, the late Tom Tomasello, and other GSEMs such as Mike Holder, Greg McHatton, John Fey and Steve Snyder. I know Homer conducted a class with Dick Farley, Rick McChord and their The Swing's The Thing Golf School Staff.

To my knowledge, Bobby Clampett never met Homer personally. However, they did discuss his golf -- primarily putting -- by telephone.
