495: We can all sympathize with Dustin Johnson after he 3putted to lose this year’s US Open on the final hole. So does that mean putting is more important to low scores and winning then driving the ball 300 yards? It’s a great debate, but there’s no argument that better putters shoot lower scores. This week our guest is Juan Gutierrez who’s injury forced him to stay away from full swings for months, so he concentrated on putting. And he got so good that he won the 2011 World Golf Hall of Fame Putting Championship. He’s just released a book called “Make More Putts: A Proven Putting Performance Improvement System” that includes 150 simple putting drills that will impact every golfer’s game. So if you’re not putting to your potential, start with this episode, then get the book on Amazon!

Possibly the most innovative invention for golf in a long time, GolfBoard is a cross between a golf cart, a snowboard, a surfboard, and a skateboard that doesn’t impact the spirit or tradition of the game. We first brought you GolfBoard on the Golf Smarter podcast in 2013 months before it was introduced at the PGA Merchandise show, where it was awarded Best New Product of the Year. That’s why so many courses are now putting them into their fleets. The GolfBoard is an easy-to-ride vehicle allowing golfers of all ages to ‘Surf the Earth’. Jeff Dowell, President of GolfBoard joins us with an update on their latest technology, explosive growth, leasing vs purchasing,  and how well it’s been working for destination, private, and public courses.
