New 7th Edition Foreword -- what a Joke!

[tongzilla]

Exactly the same foreword by Ben Doyle.

Except for one thing:
"...I had only been studying and teaching The Golfing Machine for 5 years; it's been 10 years now..."

is now,

"...I had only been studying and teaching The Golfing Machine for 5 years; it's been 37 years now..."

Is that the only thing Ben wanted to change? Or was it just something arbitrarily done by Joe? They could've made it so much more exciting, e.g. including more forewords from other people such as Lynn Blake and Brian Manzella.

I disagree.

Ben always like his foreword, so I can understand that.

Joe was wise to include the Sally-based Homer profile (instead of my oft-copied one).

As far as adding anything to the book by me—I never thought about it for a second, and people think I am a swell-head.

As far as ANY other AI or Former-AI, no way.

Having said that, I have been teaching golf for 25 years and G.O.L.F. for 20 STRAIGHT, and promoting the book, and I don't feel like I have EARNED a spot in the book.

...straight....
