The Putting Arc congratulates the following professional winners in 2009: Kenny Perry and Zach Johnson (PGA Tour), Anders Hansen and Paul Casey (European Tour), Deane Pappas (Sunshine Tour), Tom Gillis and Adam Fox (Gateway Tour), and Catriona Matthew (LPGA Brazil Cup).
With the PGA Show addition of Josh Thompson, Putting Arc user and winner of the 2008 Touchstone Energy Open on the Hooters Tour, the final professional win total for 2008 was 145. The current 2009 total is 10.
Congratulations also to the following amateurs for some impressive early-season golf:
Candace Schepperle for her wins in the Harder Hall Invitational and the Dixie Amateur. The Auburn junior set the course record in the Harder Hall and was under par in all eight rounds of the two tournaments.
Kristen Park for her win in the Silver Belle Invitational. The high school sophomore and 2007 USGA Girls Junior Champion was four under for a one stroke victory. She is a long-time student of George Pinnell (PGA California).
Meghan Bolger, who was stroke play medalist and made it to the semi-finals in the Jones/Doherty Amateur.
Jonathan Randolph for his runner-up finish to Peter Uihlein in the New Year’s Invitational at the St. Petersburg Country Club. Jonathan is a sophomore at the University of Mississippi. He is a long-time student of VJ Trolio (PGA Mississippi).
Iron ARChie has returned from a successful trip to Orlando and the PGA Show. During his visit, he made over 18,000 putts, and during this putting exhibition he heard many people say that the Putting Arc was the most copied product at the show. There are a lot of products out there, and a lot of mis-information regarding the putting stroke, but the Putting Arc’s unique mathematical design, its simplicity, and its years of success continue to set the standard for excellence.
Finally, the best story from the show was that of an amateur golfer from Georgia who was a good athlete, but started golf late and has been playing for less than 10 years. His swing coach had him striking the ball well and he was regularly hitting 14 greens per round, but only shooting in the mid-seventies. His coach told him he had to improve his short game, so this student started working indoors on the coach’s Deluxe Putting Arc. He practiced four or five hours every day, for most of the winter. After last summer, the coach now describes his student as the “best putter he has ever seen”, and his student now carries a a plus three handicap.
Most of us cannot spend that much time on anything, but it is nice to see that hard work can still pay off for someone willing to put in the effort.
