2008 PGA Merchandise Show — BOOTH 1894åÊ– January 17-19, 2008 — OCCC Orlando FL
Greensboro, NC, USA – Geoff Mangum’s PuttingZone™ announced today he will be exhibiting at the international golf industry’s premier marketplace, the 2008 PGA Merchandise Show, January 17-19, 2008, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Geoff Mangum’s PuttingZone will be located in the Instruction / Training section of the Show floor, in booth #1894. He will be signing copies of his new book on instinctive putting and will be scheduling clinics that earn PGA pros from $500 to $1,875 each.
Entitled “Optimal Putting: Brain Science, Instincts, and the Four Skills of Putting,” Mangum’s revolutionary work on putting offers a new paradigm for 21st century performance. Hailed by advance readers as an instant classic in golf literature, the work represents twenty years of scientific research, study, observation, and testing of golf history, top players and their secrets, and the brain and body processes involved in putting’s fundamental skills.
Geoff Mangum reports: “I’ve just completed my first full book on putting and will debut the limited first edition hardcover at the 2008 PGA Merchandise Show. Entitled “Optimal Putting: Brain Science, Instincts, and the Four Skills of Putting,” the book is a how-to for instinctive putting filled with explanations, examples, and drills for golfers to learn the full range of putting skills — not just a style for the stroke. This project represents a new paradigm for teaching and performing putting at the highest level. If you’re serious about golf, I’ve written this book for you.”
In addition, Mangum will be meeting with PGA course pros and course owners interested in scheduling one of his highly touted all-day clinics for members, area players, other PGA pros, and course staff. These clinics are routinely praised as “amazing” and “very innovative and informative” by veteran teachers. And the sponsoring PGA pro receives a minimum of $500 up to $1,800 for helping arrange the clinic! PGA members are encouraged to drop by Booth 1894 for a brief chat. All PGA members stopping to discuss the clinics receive a CD-ROM with the full book Optimal Putting ($20 value), and those tentatively agreeing to schedule a clinic later in the year will receive a complimentary copy of the hardback ($35 value).
The booth will also showcase the advanced-technology Argon Laser Putter from 3L Golf, with the training putter available at a Show Special price of $139.

Geoff Mangum is widely recognized as the most knowledgeable and effective putting coach in the game. He has spent 20 years studying how golfers best learn and perform the four fundamental skills in putting: reading putts for target; aiming the putter and setup for a straight stroke; stroking the ball where the putter face is aimed; and controlling the distance and pace to match the target distance and the read. His “Mechanics of Instinct” approach is a complete system of putting for the 21st century that combines the best of golf techniques from history with modern neuroscience of target perception and stroke movement processes in the brain and body for minimalist, consistent, and lethally effective putting. His first PGA Tour student went from winless and so-so putting near the bottom of the field to winning a major with his putting within two months after a single lesson — a feat no other instructor in golf history has duplicated. A "teachers teachers," Mangum has lectured over 1,000 PGA members in a room and has garnered praise from the top coaches in golf, including Hank Haney, Jim McLean, Gary Wiren, TJ Tomasi, Ted Sheftic, Chuck Cook, Jerry Mowlds, Robert Winters, Scott Cranfield, Ralph Mann, and many others.
