Geoff Mangum (FB: @geoff.mangum, YT: @geoffmangum, W: www.puttingzone.com) is a Putting Theorist and the worlds leader when it comes to putting. He has spent more than three decades studying and researching everything there is to know about anything associated with this aspect of the game. This is the second time I had Geoff on the show and he never disappoints. Talking to him is like opening a full encyclopedia collection on putting. In this episode we discuss why golfers have trouble aiming the putter correctly (90%+ of golfers of all skill levels cannot do this). How to read greens – both instinctively and scientifically, whichever suits you. Also, why even PGA Tour pros are putting 20% less than their potential. This episode is full of jaw dropping information and everyone is sure to know more about putting after listening. If you would like to read Geoff’s book ‘Optimal Putting: Brain, Science, Instincts, and the Four Skills of Putting’ you can get it HERE.

Today’s guest is Putting Theorist, Geoff Mangum. If you’re wondering why he’s a ‘Theorist’ and not a coach or instructor, you will find out during the interview.  If you haven’t heard of Geoff I wouldn’t be surprised if you struggle with your putting because Geoff is probably the most knowledgeable person on the planet when it comes to putting, green reading or anything associated with both. Geoff is also the author of the book 'Optimal Putting: Brain Science, Instincts, and the Four Skills of Putting.' Over 20 years ago he was an attorney and he used the principles of preparing for a case in court, where you research, read and learn everything you can about a topic before presenting that info to the jury or judge on behalf of your client in order to win the case. Geoff has researched and read about everything and anything written on putting from stroke mechanics, physics, eyes, putters and their design, greens and grass, golf balls you name it. Probably the most impressive and where he and I connected, the neuroscience of putting.  Part of what makes him so knowledgeable is he turns over every stone to continue his learning. Whether it’s a new putter, training device, way of reading greens, stroke theory or something else he will study it to the end. This is probably where he has rubbed the establishment the wrong way in that he has challenged the ‘old’ way of teaching putting and some are really put off by his presentation and/or methods or the way he goes about it. Even though he’s really trying to help.  There is one thing for certain…he knows putting. Whether you like him or loathe him you cannot deny his knowledge and because of that, he has my utmost respect. There was so much information we tried to pack into today’s show and we only scratched the surface. I’m sure Geoff will have to come back so we can dive deeper into putting. Today was the starting point and I trust you enjoy our conversation.

Putting frustrates every golfer, no matter their skill level. If you’ve ever seen a Pro on the Tour miss a 2 foot putt, you know that everyone is susceptible and just as frustrated. PuttingZone.com founder Geoff Mangum is convinced that whatever method of reading putts your using won’t help because all you’re doing is guessing. But after decades of research into the science of dropping the ball in the cup, he has concluded that there are four elements to successful putting, and he’s trained teachers around the world to use adopt his theories. It’s been nearly five years since Geoff has been on Golf Smarter, and we happily welcome his return.
