Putting by the Numbers: A Quantitative Method of Lag Putting by Bob Labbe with Mike ShawAre you looking to better your golf score? You can achieve this goal by improving your lag putting. In Putting by the Numbers, author Bob Labbe provides a quantitative method of lag putting applicable for all golfers whether recreational, amateur, or professional. It can help you reduce your score by four to five strokes per round regardless of skill level.This method is based upon science, including physics and engineering mechanics, but is simplified and reduced to an arithmetic method anyone can use if able to do simple arithmetic in their head quickly. Putting by the Numbers provides a video trailer and an on-course and in-home practice video that fully demonstrates the method that can be used to play on any golf course throughout the world.No new equipment or change in your putting stroke is needed, just the willingness to practice in and around the putting green to develop your unique power factor to overcome the frictional surfaces encountered during play.Bob Labbe earned his bachelor's degree in engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1968 and began studying for his master's in engineering and business; in 1972, he embarked on his career in air pollution control, engineering, manufacturing, and installing industrial systems throughout North America and in other parts of the world. He began his career with American Air Filter in 1968 and in 1972 became a founding member of the first of three air pollution control companies he led over forty-nine years.Conducting business often meant playing golf with salesmen, and Bob worked with many over the years who were also passionate about the game. For twenty-five years, he attended an annual sales meeting that featured a one-day golf tournament. While Bob was rarely competitive with these accomplished golfers, he learned to love the game and knew that one day, he would play it on a regular and dedicated basis, which he began doing in 1996.As he played more, he realized that becoming a good golfer depended on putting. Putting by the Numbers is the result: the method of lag putting he developed to be able score at a level that was both satisfying and competitive, a method that has allowed him to shave 8 to 12 strokes per round from his early playing days.https: //www.puttingbythenumbers.comhttps://www.puttingbythenumbers.com/https://www.amazon.comhttps://bookhavenliterary.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/21325blbhl.mp3

With a love for extreme sports and adventure, Mike spent his childhood taking on any sport that would push his personal limits. After finding his passion in freestyle skiing, Mike began performing professionally at international levels. After numerous injuries, Mike was forced to shift his plan and began coaching the British Columbia Freestyle Ski Team which allowed him to continue skiing the best competition venues imaginable. During a seemingly normal practice, though, life as Mike knew it changed in an instant. While demonstrating stunts to his athletes, he suffered a ‘scorpion-like' crash, dislocating and breaking his neck and leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. Determined to not only walk again, but to ski, Mike set down a new path riddled with hardship and seemingly insurmountable challenges. My friends, today's conversation reminds us that others cannot define your possibilities and even when things don't go to plan, we can still achieve great things.
