So for a middle aged guy that took up the game late in life and has been golfing 8 years, I'm very happy with my decision to base everything swing related on TGM.
I wonder how many other books/authors could say the same-8yrs experience and shooting 80 on a bad day? Full credit to the AIs of course.

Re: Cook, TGM, etc.
Thanks for the replies about Chuck Cook.

As a follow-up to the original post, exactly how did Homer study the golf swing for all those years? Am I correct in my understanding that he largely used photographs to go along with his own knowledge of engineering? Did he have video of great swings (Hogan perhaps)?

For those of you more expert than I (I'm approaching my one-year anniversary in TGM) and still am a beginning golfer, isn't it possible that Homer might have written a very different book if he had had the benefit of modern computer programs, launch monitors, etc? I'm not trying to be a wise guy here; I'm just wondering. I doubt that the three imperatives would be any different. It's the rest that I wonder about.
