The structure of TGM now

[oztrainee]

Any one know about the structure of the TGM now? Is everyone paying for their subscription to Joe Daniel? It seems to have two branches now....

More like three branches, with a few branch jumping squirrels like me!

Isn't it time that Homer's legacy was put into the hands of Trustees who would dedicate themselves to disseminating this wonderful work to the masses - rather than having it privately owned for profit and, thus, limited consumption?

It is in the hands of the trustees, Burner. That's you, me, Brian, Lynn, anyone that owns the book, or follows the procedures that Homer Kelley gave to anyone and everyone that plays golf.
It was nice that Sally received some financial security but I question the wisdom of the purchase. Frankly- without the internet forums that Brian and Chuck established years ago along with the emergence Lynn in particular- The Golfing Machine would still just be know as that confusing yellow book taught by Ben Doyle and used by Bobby Clampett.
The growth of Homers work didn’t increase because of the new and now newer ownership of a copyright and authorization to teach instructors- it increased because of us and the generosity of the aforementioned “Friends of Homer” that gave us some much to learn from.

It’s 11 o’clock- have you turned a friend on to the Three Imperatives, today?

That makes sense to me. With one small group owning the rights it must put other AIs in a strange position. A one for all and all for one type organisation must be a better way to go about promoting TGM at large.

With a quite reliable source of information, I was told that most of the Senior G.O.L.Fing machine boys (Those who certified by Ben) doesn't seems to talk to Joe.
Just trying to be nosy, Brain, Lynn, Chuck etc. do you still pay for your subscription to Joe? Just wondering in the future, would that be a new organisation to certify new GSEB, and pay loyalty to the TGM? I do understanding that some GSED, trying to get themselve rather clear of not attaching to the existing Joe Daniel TGM organisation.
