How many people who spent time with Homer haven't assumed room temp?
 

Wonder who's still around? I mean Yoda is like 800 years old.

Who's left?

McHatton, Shaw, Sloan, Doyle, Clampett, O'Grady . . .

Any others? Where are they now? What are they doing?

Y'all should have a reunion . . . I'll fry some chicken and taters.

We need to get y'all together before y'all are extinct. The Few and The Proud.

Time to draw a family tree - Homer's children (Ben Doyle and those who attended those first 3 GSED/M classes) have had their own offspring too - there appear to be patterns of TGM style within the extended family...

do we agree that as long as 3 imperatives are intact then the TGM DNA runs through all of them ...even though a few of the family members may not look exactly like their forefather!:laughing9

I think Mike Holder the former Oklahoma State University golf coach and current athletic director attended Homer Kelley's workshops in Seattle.

Bruce
 

I'd like to meet Bruce Hough. He sounded like he had a lot of knowledge and asked great questions in one of the G.S.E.M. classes.

Where is that dude? I figured Mike O would have "off'ed" most of these cats by now . . .

Exactly why I think it would be cool to talk to those that spent time with the dude that wrote the book.

Lets compile the list of attendees at GSEM/D classes run by Homer... ( obviously Ben Doyle is assumed first born son because Homer introduced him directly)


Lynn Blake
Greg McHatton
Mike Jacobs
Shaw?
SLoan?
Any others...

Yoda... can you remember your fellow students?


Did Bobby Clampett ever meet Homer? or was it done indirectly through Ben Doyle?
I have read that Mac O'Grady had phone conversations but not direct contact

Either way they both always pay due credit to his influence.

The Australian phenomenon is pretty interesting from a "genetic" point of view... Tom Tomasello had big impact it seems... Croker teaches his swing ( with lots of emphasis on right forearm feels but in a swinging sense) . and they have Paul Smith and Paul Hart who seem fairly orthodox in their TGM.

Mac had many conversations with homer. And did have one personal lesson from homer, he stood in the plastic plane pulled off the wall and that year got his tour card.

All aboard!
 

John Fey and Steve Snyder.

Family reunion ...
 

Steve Snyder - googled him and found that a Steve Snyder tied 24th in 2006 Callaway senior PGA national tournament... must be the same guy...

Jay Perkins - google says "belair golf centre" but no TGM symbol on his website... could this be Sonnie j. Perkins - who is in the patent case below? seems to be friendly with Hough and Farley...

Bruce Hough - cited in a patent case re. a swing plane trainer..."*9 Perkins 'attached two flash lights to a bracket that was in turn attached to a golf club grip.' He demonstrated this device to, inter alia, Bruce Hough in March of 1981. This testimony was corroborated by Hough." see http://ipmall.info/hosted_resources/...eal_101424.asp

Rick Farley - as you say "the swingsthething" works with Rick McCord ( also cited in the same patent case above! - "The declarations of Richard Farley and his associate Richard McCord (PR 92 to 94 and 105-106; PX C, D, and E) establish, in our view, that 26 trainers were sold during June 1982". ) and Gerry Hogan... website mentions no Homer or TGM from my quick glance...

Interesting that Farley and McCord were selling a light-based swing plane training device about 1981... Sonnie J. Perkins showed it to Bruce Hough... quite a little TGM gathering there:rolleyes: ... wonder where they got the idea from - maybe 1-L #6?? Clever guys!!

when did they have their meeting with Homer?

McHatton, Jacobs, Yoda, Tomasello all pretty obvious TGM influence...

Model
 

How about the model in the book... I believe her name is Diane?

thanks denny!
