[Yoda]

...nobody is born with TGM knowledge,everybody needs time to incubate, and patient instructors!

Having met Yoda who IMHO knows the book better than anyone. I found the questions he asked showed that was not always the case. This has given me encouragement to keep on at it as knowledge is acquired and earned and Yoda is living proof of that and an example of what can be achieved.

Right you are, fellows. I remember the poster of a young lad wearing a baseball glove and holding a bat on his shoulder. The caption read: "The greatest experts were once beginners."

I have written before that The Golfing Machine® is a journey whose rigors test all who attempt it. Mastery comes only at a price, and the coin is dedication and persistence. There are no exceptions, including Homer Kelley himself.

I once asked him, "How did you do it, Homer? How was it possible?"

He didn't hesitate:

"The sweat of blood on every page."
