First, I satisfied myself as to his motives. Then, I answered his questions and filled in the blanks based on my personal experiences with Homer Kelley.
I never heard from him again.
I got a global email from him this morning announcing the book and soliciting a marketing effort.
Having received no complimentary copy for my previous or solicited effort, I'll order it now. [Knowing its content is part of my job description.]
For those more patient, know that books not self-published and not in serious demand are often 'remaindered' after four months. After which, you may be able to obtain a copy for shipping costs.
I'm buying a copy. Just to learn about Salley and how she coped. I called her about twenty years ago when I lost a copy of the book. She said that she only had a few left but would sell me one of them if I promised that I was serious about learning TGM.
I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday....should receive it on Tuesday. Looking forward to reading about Homer's influence on Morgan Pressels golf swing. What AI taught Morgan???

I was in Borders today and found the new book on Homer...it's funny, you can find this new bio on Homer but you can't find a copy of the 7th edition in any Borders or Barnes and Noble store.
I thumbed through the book and was surprised to discover Homer and Ben Doyle had a major falling out towards the end of Homer's life...and Bobby Clampett and Homer never met in person only communication by phone.

I won't touch anything TGM/Homer Kelley related until it passes muster with Mr. Blake.
Hi Asleep,
It's a great day to be a believer! My copy was just delivered and I am diving in. I'm not a fast reader, just taking my time and enjoying it. I think it is very well written, and I hope Yoda is pleased.
In the forward Steve Elkington explains he has been putting the book [The Golfing Machine] to the test under the toughest of conditions for a dozen years. "I have found EVERYTHING in the book to be true." That got my heart thumping. Take that you guys who think "book literalist" is negative!

Just got my copy. Forward by Steve Elkington. He did thank you, Lynn, in the acknowledgements. I have to work today, but I will definitely curl up with this tomorrow.
