There are some who want to leave something in heritage to the humanity. No money can beat that passion.

When?

[tembolo1284]

So you telling me it's not coming out?

Self-inflicted complexity = avoidance mechanism to avoid completion

Call it what you want...lol! Geoff is complex individual...not really programmed or motivated in the same ways that most people are. He's certainly not concerned about the commercial viability of the book project.
[/quote]

Very interesting comment, because we have a certain poster here who believes that the only reason books are written is for commercial reasons. When someone has a passion or a message they want to share, it is not always about profit. Don't see how that is so difficult to understand.

So was the "A" Swing book written because of passion or profit, H-Boy ?
[/quote]

A bit of both? Mostly profit?

Some people do both, take my wife. She does kind, compassionate things for others, and she has my checkbook.

[tembolo1284]

I say that's a good thing right?

So when's the book coming out?

Direct profit leading to indirect profit - if you get discouraged with the 'A' swing and are ready to give up, you can always pop down to Orlando for the 'A' swing refresher. There's a small fee involved in addition to your other vacation expense.

[dairic]

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Sagrada Família was completed before the book.

I'm sure Slice wishes he can charge double if you choose to stay at his place! Good gig leadbetter has going for himself.

[trashpar]

George R.R. Martin will finish his 8th Game of Thrones book first.

[Gamble Gamble]

The Dan Plan will qualify for a web.com event first.

I was just there. Even if it is not finished yet, it is still unbelievable.

so is all hope really gone?
[/quote]

Yes. Ain't coming out, the latest comment about a supposed lack of concern for any commercial viability should really say it all.
[/quote]

bph, I completely disagree. I'm not speaking[b] [i]for [/i][/b]Geoff, but it is my opinion that he views the book as a unique way of solidifying his swing ideology, his life's journey in the game, and ultimately his legacy. It's also very important to him to give credit to those who have influenced, inspired, and helped him along the way. He definitely wants the book to help aspiring youngsters navigate their way through the process of becoming the best player [b]and person[/b] they can be.

He is not doing it for the money, and seemingly couldn't care less.
[/quote]How can he give credit if he won't release it? Why is he worried about a legacy,how old is this Slicefixer guy for goodness sake.

Me too, he never had any rude remarks and arguments that I can remember. Now maybe something mildly obscene, or an off color joke? Dunno.

Well it was right there in front of me last saturday in warwick, I said to Geoff, is this it? yes it is, was the reply. Rather large hard copy, I did not peruse, as I was more interested in Geoff's comments on my dump flip pull hook, right there on his computer screen, LOL

Raul you were next after me, did you see the book ?

[Golfbeat]

When will the DVD come out?

I saw the book...and like you, i was busy fixing my swing

[Schnee]

Speaking of pork, ISIS is getting closer to opening that chain of BBQ restaurants I talked about... any progress on the book?

[Golfbeat]

I hope he will also provide for some interesting swing aids, like with Lead's A Swing. Slicefixer Duct Tape surely will be one of them.

Pork and Isis don't go together
No idea what's going on with the book ..... I did see it though so it does exist. Quite frankly , I have access to Geoff and his teaching materials so the book is not appealing to me . I am sure it will help the remote followers though.

I know several accomplished professional authors who take longer to write a book.

I don't know SF as he is a bit before my time, but what he's trying to do is not easy and it's not even his full time job... or even a hobby of his I would presume.

[Biomateur]

Mac's book has been expected for a ten times longer time. Sometimes it is necessary to wait even if someone's life work is for younger generations, not for us.

4 years is nothing, I've been staring at a barrel of reserve port for 26 years, 4 more to go and I'll bottle it.
