How great would it be to have the yellow book, lynns DVD' videos etc all in one location. That way we could use our kindles ipads etc to look up parts of the yellow book that relate to lynn's teaching materials and watch associated video. Leave the yellow book alone. Where is that new DVD will it be out be Christmas.
An electronic ebook will all of us to post like Daryl. So if I wanted to learn to hit a lob shot I could look it up and be referenced to vertical hinging in the book , to lynn's information on dvd and videos of it execution.
Homer's work should stay untouched.
Would you add or subtract from a great work of art?
I think that its true value is in its use, not as a thing, so the work of art analogy doesn't work for me. (You can always buy an original edition or one of the subsequent additions to put on a bookshelf as a work of art.)
To me, this is a text book -- the more dogeared, worn, highlighted and noted the better in terms of absorbing the information. Just like a text book, we need new editions that change to match the latest findings and in the case of a lot of the discussion here, match the new media and ways of disseminating the knowledge inherent in a text book.
TGM is a system or methodology that helps me understand how to better strike a golf ball for me as an individual. That is its greatest advantage -- I can customize it to me and to a situation -- and perhaps its greatest curse -- there is a lot to understand and think about as opposed to other ways that advocate a single swing or pattern for hitting the golf ball.
The more ways we make this data available to individuals to understand in the way best for them, the more people that can take the information and turn it into knowledge that they themselves can apply on the golf course in each individual situation.

I agree. New books can, will be, and are being written. Homer Kelley's work can stand on it's own with the help of people who really understand it like YODA.
A few changes were made to the 7th edition after Mr. Kelley's passing, and I believe the changes caused much of the division present in the TGM world now. Just think what would happen with a total re-write, TGM advocates would be jumping ship in a hurry...
Let Homer Kelley's work be... add to it in separate works...

Homer Kelley chose to frame his ideas with precision and avoid explanation. TGM Concepts are very simple and very basic and very logical. I'm not surprised at the learning curve problem this caused. I am surprised, that given the rudimentary nature of the Pivot and Arm Motions/geometry of TGM that others haven't stumbled upon them a thousand times since. That confounds me much more than the learning curve problem.

"Homer Kelley chose to frame his ideas with precision and avoid explanation"
I agree. He did avoid explanation.That's why I don't get it.

You know, Daryl, I hadn't thought about this, but it's true.
In his interest for brevity, Homer Kelley gave us only the 'answers' -- the distillation of his search for truth -- and left it to those of us interested to deduce the path by which those answers came.
