hi all,
i'm only about 6 weeks into my TGM journey after having stumbled upon the various TGM internet sites late last year but have already picked up lots of useful info (thanks yoda, brian, chuck, et al.)…i am about half to two-thirds of the way through the book for the first time, in the order outlined on page x and trying to do as suggested the and ignore cross references (semi-successfully…one thing that hit me today is that this content SCREAMS for a hypertext version where one could just “pop-up” the cross references, take a quick look, and then go back to what you were reading…i think i read somewhere that a 7th edition of TGM is in the works, is anybody here enough on the “inside” of that effort to see if such a version has been considered and/or suggest it if it hasn’t?...and thanks again for all the wonderful insights into that mysterious golf swing thing!

You are preaching to the choir hcw!
I've wanted that so much, I've been retyping/scanning my copy of the book into my PC and I'm going to add the links.
Unfortunately, the book is not public domain so my efforts are for personal benefit only. Unless I can talk the TGM owners into doing something with it. But I don't have my hopes up.
The good news is that retyping the text and really scrubbing it for mistakes is a great way to study and learn.
The 7th edition edits were completed before Homer's passing, but have never made it into print. It is up to the owners of The Golfing Machine to make that happen.
ahhh, great minds...actually i would have been surprised it somebody else hadn't had the same thought and/or started to do it...after i put up the post i sent the question to the email address that came in a cover letter with my book...i'll let you know if i hear anything back...
