Nice post! Totally agree.

Same as his buddy Michael Jacob claiming that he does not believe in Right forearm takeaway and more...

They were "Doctors" of TGM. They wanted to be known as the greatest teachers in the business. While involved with TGM, their competitors were folks like Lynn Blake. Finding something different to teach was probably a good plan.

Originally Homer deemed that GSED's would be awarded to A.I.s who "could do what I do". As the years went along and the need for growth , expansion presented itself Homer started to grant GSED's on a more honorary basis. For meritorious contributions to the brand if you will. Latter day owners had their own reasons for awarding GSED's.

Put simply some of the "Doctors" were confused by Homers ideas and came to the wrong interpretation of things. Cant say I blame them given the yellow book of riddles that it is. But these erroneous ideas, things, have a life.

So there's Doctors and then there's Doctors who approached being able to do what Homer could do, understand. This web site is a tribute to the latter level of knowledge.... mixed in with some other complimentary stuff of course.

Being a GSED does not mean you understood Homer fully. Sadly.

Homer Kelley awarded only two GSEDs. One to Ben Doyle, as the first Authorized Instructor. Then to Bobby Clampett, Doyle's student, as the first recognized TGM performer.

Sally Kelley, his widow, awarded a number of GSEDs over the next twenty years (on the basis you have mentioned above). Subsequent owners, first co-owners Joe Daniels and Danny Elkins, then Joe solo after arbitration and a buyout, awarded only two more, both on the same day. One to me and another to Brian Manzella. He was shocked to learn of the award. I was not.

Why?

Because I was with Danny and Joe the day and minute it happened. In fact, I was the catalyst who made both awards happen. This is the 'rest of the story' -- details omitted -- just one more thing BM thought he knew, but did not.

The Right Forearm Takeaway (Zone 2) is just another example of a TGM concept tossed onto the trash heap by those who think they understand, but do not. Detractors look at such concepts in isolation -- often imperfectly -- and without regard to how they integrate with other Stroke Components, e.g., the Pivot (Zone 1) and the Plane (Zone 3). Their arguments evidence their ignorance.

Taking doxycycline and feeling like heck, I can still RFT and Hit my driver 240 yards down the middle with a slight fade or as I wish. Does not get easier!

BM cannot sell ideas in packages I guess if he cannot claim to be unique or inventive.

Personally, I am not interested in others' understanding, loose interpretation, revised interpretation or disclaimer of what we have here. Here is where I learn and belong.
Thanks to Yoda, the sisterhood and brotherhood who contribute daily to this quest.

Jacobs, who doesn't know the difference between Aiming Point and Impact Hands Location , is one of those dubbed GSED by Mrs Kelley, and Da Manz has forgotten about leaning up against a tree in Carmel, Cal, crying like a baby because he couldn't compress a golf ball until a real GSED, Ben Doyle, performed emergency TGM on him!

They both, hypocritically, continue to use the title GSED. They should be using the title GSEQ.
