The Visionary Revisions

Yoda,

If you could comment on the 21st Edition, we could see where all of this is going and save a lot of time in the process.

I have the 6th and 7th and would love to see your notes. We worked through some of it years ago, but a refresher would be GREAT!

Thanks,
Kevin

I just picked up a copy of the 4th. It sounds like the 5th came out shortly after the 4th. Is there much difference between the 4th and 5th?

Thanks,
Kevin

To be honest I have not read ed. 4 and 5 from cover to cover but e.g. I noticed that 2-J-3 changed: 4th Ed. has short A-D items, the 5th dropped the Aiming Point delivery line, and 6th went to two very long paragraphs A and B.

I dont know about the 21 st . Id just love to see every page of Yoda marked up 6th personal edition. Golf Hall of Fame worthy IMO. But it probably wont happen.

I believe that a discussion of Homer Kelley's Concepts will be very beneficial. I have all seven editions. If anyone wants to see the changes in certain items, I am happy to provide.

4th edition was a nightmare - most of the bindings were poorly done. He re-glued/taped many of them himself before sending out.

One thru three - probably the coolest - that thin green book with the yellow book cover and plastic cover on some and the glossy paper that was used inside - VERY NICE! Most unique would be the 3rd edition paperback version. Haven't thought about it but maybe the reason for the paperback was the shortage of funds at the time - maybe it was the pre-flight to the hard copy that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Don Shaw writing Homer a check to make it happen. Homer hand wrote in Don's copy - something to the effect - "Wouldn't have happened without you". Probably why the 3rd hard back and the 3rd paperback can be the toughest to find - due to the limited amount produced.

Great stuff Mike O. Thank you!

I heard a story that after Homer Kelley passed away that Ben Doyle wanted Mrs. Kelley to return to the third edition. I do not know if it is true or not.

The third edition is 150 pages long with six stroke patterns. A one, two, three, and four accumulator pattern. And an arm only and wrist putting pattern. No basic motion curriculum though.
