Gummer on Homer

As in most things golf, bad information hides the truths in a foggy mist. Scott Gummers well researched book exposes truths to so called myths. An entertaining and educational read about the life and times of Homer Kelly and those close to his work over the years.

A great intorduction to the world of TGM for the novice

I have been dabbling around the edges of TGM for some 25 years now, but I always fealt both intimidated and confused by the Book. this book helps first to understand who Homer Kelly was, why he did what he did and some basic structure to get a newbie started into the world of TGM.

Great Book!

I just started learning about The Golfing Machine recently and I thought this book was very interesting in regards to the history of Homer Kelley's work. I am amazed at the dedication Homer had to help golfers understand the golf swing on a mechanical level and recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the Golfing Machine. No, this book does not explain Kelley's book but it definitely gives his book a lot of credibility and it's a great story of his life and all the people associated with him.

Homer Kelley's Golfing Machine The Curious Quest that solved golf

Finally the golfing world is finding out the true genius of Homer Kelley. I am an Authorized Instructor of The Golfing Machine and Homer gave us the foundation to truly help Golfdom. Scott Gummer has done a wonderful job in exposing that The Yellow Book is in the learning background of most of the best golf teachers in the world. Scott's book has allowed us true golf thinkers to fully understand Homer Kelley's wonderful work and why his book was laid out to allow us to understand the Geometry and Physics of the Golf Swing. It is a must read for those who want to take their golf game to the highest level and to be able to understand how we are achieving this level of play. Sustain The Lag.
