TGM vs. "Search for The Perfect Swing"
To Whom it May Concern,

I recently purchased "Search for The Perfect Swing" by Alastair Cochran and John Stobbs, and as I've been reading this text I am quite surprised by the similarities between it and TGM.

I looked at the copyright date and it's dated as 1968.

Is anyone else on this site familiar with this text, it's quite surprising that some of the same conclusions were reached in the same time period in two different parts of the world, the U.S. and Britian.

Sorting through the Instructor's Textbook.

B-Ray

I enjoyed the book. I know it has been rereleased but the material looks the same.

Homers report cancelled any thoughts of producing part 2 of the book, as I was informed.

I don't know why this book gets a free ride, it is one of the most comlicted mishmash of Homers report cancelled any thoughts of producing part 2 of the book, as I was informed.

I don't know why this book gets a free ride, it is one of the most complicated mishmash of golf lines I ever saw.

To me the biggest difference between the books is that “Search for The Perfect Swing" is all stagnant lines showing positions for Position “Fixed” Golf, whereas Homers geometry is in Motion, never a fixed position but active alignments. (p vii)

Has anyone ever seen Homer's critic of the book?

I once requested from Management to at least let the AI's have access to it with no results.

They have, the authors published more on golf in the series Golf and Science, quite expensive, it is a collection of works by themselves and various other authors on the subject of golf. I think they have 4 or 5 volumes out and about.

I remember your plea. I think our old friend Chuck has a copy but I may be mistaken. Perhaps he told me that he had read the report.

That report, along with any serious, well written, rebuttal to challenges of Homer’s book would also be something serious students of TGM should be able to see and learn from so the right information can be argued.

Martee has asked for this very thing for a while now. It makes sense.
