I'll have no problem 'dumbing' down, Jim.

Ask my wife.

Jim, you should try the yellow book with this forum as a guide. It is worth buying and reading.

Drivers Wanted

Not at all, Jim. In fact, I agree with you 100 percent. As Homer Kelley himself once stated: "They [most golfers] don't want to be mechanics; they just want to be good little car steer-ers."

My book will be for 'drivers' -- not 'mechanics' -- but with enough detail to justify the recommended procedures.

I have two things to say to that:

1) paralysis by analysis....i get it sometimes from the FORUMS, god knows where'd i be with the book! LMAO

2) The great Fred Couples once said in regards to his swing knowledge, "I really don't know anything and what i do know i wish i could forget. Things would be so much easier."

you are a regular
1- I would think anyone who posts as often as you do, I would say you are a regular of several TGM forums, would be proud to own the life's work of Homer Kelley. Much paralysis and fog would cease to exist with it. I read that you would never consider owning or reading the book. I think it would surprise. It’s a great read when staying at Holiday Inns.


2- Fred Couples none of us are.

I might buy it, just to "have it." But i honestly don't want to read it. I stand by my paralysis by analysis statement. I learn what i can and apply it. Then when i can't, i usually go see Brian. Honestly, thats "enough" for me.

Only yoda gets to talk that way :P

Someday, because of The Golfing Machine, we will have enough Brians and Yodas in every state to go see. You are lucky to be near one of them.

Jim, buy the book
Why would you journey this far, to the gates of heaven, and then, not come in?
