I’m really excited about this new tool I developed with EyeLine Golf! I think it’s going to help you dramatically improve your putting and have fun in the process! Here are a few of the highlights:

• Alignment – Align yourself on the proper starting line for your putt.
• Speed Control – Set the Putting Scope up as a line and learn to roll the ball exactly to that line.
• Stroke Length – Mark the Rod with a marker to check stroke length back and through.
• Entry Points of Putts – Use a Scope leg on the high point of a putt and learn to roll the putt at the correct speed.

The 12th PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit, set for a new date and location, will become the first event to kick off a busy week at the 58th PGA Merchandise Show.

Carrying the theme, “Getting Results,” the Summit will be conducted Monday, Jan. 24 and Tuesday, Jan. 25, and hosted by The Faldo Institute in Orlando, which is approximately three miles from the Orange County Convention Center – site of the 58th PGA Merchandise Show, Jan. 27-29.

“Those who have attended a PGA Teaching & Coaching Summit have taken back to their home facility something extra that may become an invaluable element of their educational and business career,” said PGA Director of Instruction Joe Hallett. “The Summit is about interacting with instructors, networking opportunities with other attendees and gaining insight that can assist any PGA Professional in their job. We believe that the next Summit can meet all that and more for attendees.”
