Ok - I'm going to buy the book very soon. Do new editions come out ever or should I just buy what is sold on Amazon? Thanks

, as an alternative to waiting for the elusive seventh edition

Only a select few have access or copies to the notes and they are not likely to be available to mere mortals such as you or I.
Who has copies of these notes and how did they get them?
Would it be possible for the common TGM golfer (not AI) to get a copy of the notes

Its just a pity, that the 7th was never published.

He expected, I am sure, to write that text and to clean up around certain other revisions when he returned.
This sounds great and also look forward to the 7th Edition coming out but im going to wait for Yoda's review before I go and get it.

Great news about the 7th but I will believe it when it happens. I like the forum for the interaction, video, etc. I really hope that they get the Golfing Machine site up and running but it has essentially been dead for quite a while.....unfortunately.

I promise there are errors in the 7th Edition revisions that he alone will not catch. There is at least one major change that demands changes in several areas for consistency of presentation. And there is text that unless rewritten does not say what Homer meant to say. Not to mention the errors in the 6th that the 7th revisions don't catch.
I applaud the promise of publication.
And will give the actual event a standing ovation.
But the job is bigger than one man.
Here's hoping he gets it right.

It is completed in electronic form and is at the printers.
The revisions were made from notes that were from Homer, but somewhat different from the revisions that I have seen in the past.
Maybe this is the correct set, and some of the things that some wanted from reading the 'bootleg' set of revisions, are more accurate.
I am trying to convice the "house" to release it in pdf for as well and include ALL THE other editions as well.
I'll see how it goes with that.

My above reply to that post has generated some controversy on Brian Manzella's website. I have expanded on my view in my reply to Tongzilla and Pro on that site and have reprinted that post below.
Wonderful.

Originally posted by ProNo, Homer Kelley did not have a review board, but ideally, he would have. This editorial process serves to catch countless errors in advance, not in arrears. For that reason, major publishers require authors to submit drafts of their work for review by editors and often by knowledgeable colleagues. The editors supply the grammatical and organizational scrutiny and the colleagues provide the technical expertise. As most grateful authors tell you in the preface of their book, this process is extremely valuable.
Originally posted by tongzilla...I believe Joe has put together the 7th edition with only Mr. Kelley's notes, as it should be. Did Mr. Kelley have a panel review when he wrote the previous six editions?
Can you please ask Joe to give a few names on the people who has put together the 7th Edition of TGM, which he said will be officially published very soon?
...It does amaze me at times how critical people can be, when is the 7th edition coming was everyones question, the home office should have it out by now, what can take so long? Now that it is coming out people are complaining about how it will be presented, how about we wait until it comes out before we begin to judge.
...I have had disagreements with how things have been handled at times also, I try to make my concerns known to the home office, not fire shots from afar.
