GS961: Summary
After too long of a break, Geoff Mangum, renowned putting instructor, returns to challenge what we know and then tell us that we're wrong! Always thought provoking and always controversial, Geoff discusses the changes in the putting world and the importance of skill development in putting. He also delves into the science behind putting, including brain science, perception, movement, and the physics of putting. Leave it to Geoff to challenge the marketing hype around putter equipment and emphasizes the importance of grip pressure and technique in improving putting performance. Mangum also shares his views on distance control and targeting in golf.
