Ok to study 6th edition?

[Delaware Golf]

Actually, my 'first' was the 4th. It was signed:

Lynn,

May you rise higher and higher in its boundless basics. Sustain the Lag.

Ben
'79

Over the years, the bookend editions of '1, 2 and 3' and '5, 6 and 7' completed my library. And added to the fun. True afficienados must have them all.

Read every written word.

Listen to every recorded word.

There is no substitute.

Yes, it was the fourth (Tommy and Lynn talked to Homer initially by phone together)....at a later date, I have Tom Tomasello on audio tape talking to Homer about receiving/teaching from the new 5th edition (Tommy asked Homer what he should do with the remaining copies of the 4th). Good Stuff.

(After telling Mr. Kelley he has half a case leftover; 12 books) Homer replied, "Just put them in your library and forget them. I will give you credit (for what you have left). There is no point in handing out these four's when the five's are available."

I have them all and have read but not always comprehended every word.
My first edition cover has all but disintegrated, but is stored in tupperware container for history.

I have learned more from LB site than reading the yellow book. Love the videos and the conversation with Mr. Kelly and Lynn. I am looking for the conversation from Mr. Kelly that describes his first meeting with Ben Doyle.

Have had a lesson with Ben Doyle and Tom Tomasello, but learning much here and at TGM forums, Orrgolf and Medicus.

I purchased a 7th Edition from Ben Doyle site. Mr. Doyle wrote the same inscription for me as he did for Yoda way back when. He also corrected some of the errors in book by hand!

My 7th came unglued...literally! I have to agree that without this site I probably would have ripped the book apart myself! I believe Mr. Kelley maintained that the only shortcut, or simpler road was working with an AI. I think Yoda satisfies that requirement! Cyberspace is not the same thing as an in person encounter, but it is still a tremendous help. So thank you to Yoda and others for their willingness to help. I believe that " a workman is worthy of his hire"...but it is also "...more blessed to GIVE than to recieve!" In that sense Yoda is abundantly blessed! His and other's generosity speaks volumes. It suggest a sincere desire to help. Compassion for the golfing public, after years of bull...bullspit!

My wife has "other editions of TGM" on the shortlist of potential presents! If you are going to be a golfing nut you may as well strive more maximum compression!

I gotta give a holla out to Bucket. Nobody asks more questions! Thereby removing the risk of embarrassment many of us feel when asking what we think may be a stooopid question (there is such a thing by the way!) Many people ask questions today that I will want to ask one month from now! So thanks for that!

I don't mean to thread jack, but was the change in hinge actions location (from zone 3, to zone 2) intentional. I was under the impression it was a mistake, does anyone have a deffinite answer? Sorry for going off topic.

P.S. I think it is perfectly fine to study the 6th edition, in fact I had a hard time noticing any differences between the two, I had to look real hard.

Hi kebeal,

Please forgive me, I do not have the 7th (but at one time had all editions)....

Is it in the 7th that it is moved the zone 2?

Thanks,
Patrick

Yes, hinge action is listed in zone #2 in the 7th edition. There is a large thread on this site listing all the changes between the 6th and 7th, however after reading through it I was left with the impression the change was a mistake although I may have misunderstood. Anybody know for sure?

Thanks for this, Drew.



For the record:

The quote is from the recorded phone call made by Tom and me to Homer Kelley 'way back when' (without searching, I'll say circa May 1981).
