Unfortunately, don't have the little yellow book, plus I was hoping to hear what they tell the students that come to see them ( I am assuming that they use a different vocabulary than when they are talking to fellow TGM devotees.

Bendet2 I am not singling you or anyone out with my remarks. This is a general observation of past experiences from past posts.

It is a shame some have no interest in buying, owning, or reading The Golfing Machine. Many say the book is a complicated read and I can agree with that early impression, which I believe this is the reason some don’t buy or/and read it. This stigma that it has some unworldly vernacular that takes years of practice to understand is getting old.
Homer in his GENIUS assigned one meaning to a word so everyone knows exactly what is being discussed. No confusion. Homer said that the terms have a fixed relationship with each other and when understood will tie them all together to see the big picture- Homer’s big picture. Heck, the lingo that bathes computers is far more complicated than anything Mr. Kelley borrowed from Mr. Webster. And I don’t hear people nagging the industry about that. College text books, vocational manuals, a hobby interest, or even Irish authors, each have a vocabulary of their own. This is no different.
I know from experience that Lynn is solid on teaching what Homer wrote the way Homer wrote it. Homer told Lynn’s class, “The only thing I ask and I think this is absolutely imperative that you stick to the terminology. Explain it with any number of words that you have but don’t replace it with those words.”
The vernacular is the Genius. And easier to understand than Joyce.
