Homer wrote the book, took 25 years to write, kind of a recluse, Ben Doyle was Moses and Bobby Clampet was an acolyte...........
Homer came out of seclusion to address the Georgia PGA on the golfing machine...he dropped dead at the podium, maybe TGM did too
However, there is a silver lining..........once you get past the minutia, you see a basic swing theory, which nobody teaches............almost nobody, self exception
There are 2 golf swings........left side co-ordinated or right side co-ordinated
One side always leads and the other follows - they don't work back and forth
If the left leads the right follows and if the right leads the left follows..........everyone teaches positions, but don't tell you how to co-ordinate yourself--pick one or the other-no wrong answer
and make all swings that lead including putting
Depending on handicap, I have seen 3-15 stroke improvements by learning proper
co-ordination...for that.......Homer needs many Cudo's ...problem is students will get lost in the minutia as did Bobby C and Deshambeau will be next.........sorry to say...Keep it simple stupid is still the cry................

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.
