Do you own the Yellow Book?

[dbl]

It was mentioned in another thread that the book was being "bashed" by people who don't even own it.

You don't have to comment to vote, and no need to say if you are a "basher" or not. Just vote. I kind of want to see if there are more than 75 people who have it.

And if by chance you don't own a copy but read it extensively somehow (like from a friend or library), go ahead and vote. I think the commenter's complaint that the "bashing" was from people not familiar with it, and so there is an option for all.

ETA: Sorry for the typo in the third option - an extraneous "it" but can't edit.

I own it.

I have never even seen it in person. I can also say I do not remember bashing the book. What I have said is I feel fortunate to have landed here on this site.

It is funny though because I have read a bunch of golf instructional books. Or at least looked at the pictures. lol.

I own it.

I own it.

 

[Kevin Shields]

I have three. The first two fell apart.

 

[Bigwill]

Own it

 

[Richie3Jack]

I own it. You'd probably laugh at it as I left it in the back seat of my car when I moved and half of it is now almost white from the sun fading it away and the other half is dark yellow.

I still read pieces of it from time to time if something comes up with regards to it.

Yep. 6th edition. Like new.

 

[Burner]

6th and 7th.

 

[Brian Manzella]

I have all seven editions.

I had all 6 editions before Katrina wiped them all away, but I spent almost $1000 to get really good quality versions of them all after the flood, and added the 7th to the collection.

Editions 6 and 7

I own the 6th edition and remember when the 7th came out, wondering if the differences would make a difference for me, and decided no.

A friend of mine in my usual foursome owns a copy, picked up from a thrift store. His pattern would be 24 X's! He has glanced through it, he enjoys the history of the literature, but knows subconsciously not to go deep into it because it would screw him up.

I have the 7th edition....somewhere.

 

[Tom Bartlett]

Own 3 editions.

 

[Virtuoso]

own the 6th edition, signed by Sally Kelly

 

[Steve Greffen]

I own a 7th edition purchased from Ben Doyle. He sent a copy of how to read it and hand wrote a quick note. (thought that was cool!) Got through just enough of it until I landed on this site and really have not gone back to it in any depth. I am more pleased that I have been fortunate enough to attend the first GTE (and more to come as well!!).

I was really disappointed that I missed the anti-summit, but will get that video asap whennit comes out.

Thanks

Steve

I have the 6th and 7th too. I haven't opened one in over a year. Curiosity got me and I tried lots of things in the book. Helped me teach better, but hurt my own game.

 

[ggsjpc]

I own the 7th.

Falling apart like crazy.

I look at it regularly to understand conversations I'm following.
