Complicated golf creates head cases....Deshambeau will be next.........
I don't think Bobby ever actually worked with Homer Kelly ... I don't know if anyone did.

Bobby worked with Ben Doyle, who was the 1st "authorized TGM Instructor".

Tom Talbott who teaches at Sarasota Golf Academy, is one of the few Instructors with a "PhD in The Golf Machine", awarded by Ben Doyle himself.

As a "teaching manual", the little yellow book is a joke. As a "method", plenty of guys are still teaching it ... "Stack & Tilt" is based on TGM, MORAD (Mac O'Grady) is TGM based and Sean Foley is/was a TGM guy. Of course, Brian Manzella is basically the "keeper of the flame" these days.
