SPi Teaching System Launches Reifers, Knox to the PGA Tour
(Franklin, TN – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) SeeMore’s new teaching initiative, known as SPi, struck gold for the second straight week at the Nationwide Insurance Open. Kyle Reifers earned the $144,000 first place check by sinking a dramatic birdie on the 72nd hole with his SeeMore m1 belly putter to finish at 13 under par and finish as low professional. Reifers joins last week’s Nationwide Tour winner Russell Knox, who won with a SeeMore Si3 putter, in the top 6 on the Nationwide Tour’s important top 25 list, virtually assuring them each a place on the PGA Tour next year. Reifers and Knox each put SeeMore putters in play after spending time on the practice putting green with SeeMore lead SPi instructor Ted Gallina, and finding the right fit and the right model where the fundamentals of SeeMore’s patented and proven RifleScope Technology (RST) could help them achieve a consistently square set up and improved posture and stroke for improved performance on the greens.
SeeMore launched the new initiative this year, called the SeeMore Putter Institute (SPi), which has been created on tour and has as its mission the goal of training and certifying golf instructors and professional fitters in the SeeMore putting system for long term game improvement. There are new instructors entering the program every day, meaning that golfers everywhere will soon be able to find a SeeMore professional teacher or fitter near them to be able to experience the same introduction to the SeeMore putting system that has been developed on tour.
SPi is a learning system based on the simple fundamentals of finding proper grip, alignment, stance, and posture that allow a natural, free, and simple putting stroke on each and every putt. It is based on the technology built into the SeeMore putter itself, and on the refined teachings of SeeMore Global Ambassador Pat O’Brien – putting instructor to Zach Johnson, Vaughn Taylor and many other top PGA Tour and developing players. O’Brien has been teaching the SeeMore System around the world for more than 12 years, ever since he watched his good friend the late Payne Stewart first benefit from the SeeMore putting system to win 1999 US Open and lead the PGA Tour in putting statistics that year.
O’Brien set out to train the next generation of young players to become better putters through use of this system, which he saw would benefit players of all levels. Since 2001, his students Johnson and Taylor have become widely known as 2 of the best putters on tour, with a Major Championship, 9 PGA Tour Victories, $32 million in earnings, putting records, and numerous Ryder Cup and President’s Cup appearances between them.
The SPi program teacher certification program is managed day to day by PGA member Ted Gallina, SeeMore’s Director of Instruction and Tour training. Becoming SPi Certified will help golf teachers formulate a complete teaching plan to help their existing students and recruit new students to become great putters using the SeeMore system that has won 2 Major Championships and set numerous putting records on the PGA Tour. It is a complete game plan, which will give any golf instructor a new level of confidence in the proper teaching and fitting involved in putting instruction. Becoming certified to teach the system initially consists of online training, but also includes personal coaching, and will include regional seminars in the Fall. At the retail level, the SeeMore SPi initiative for professional fitters is managed day to day by John Higgins, SeeMore’s LPGA Tour Rep and Director of Key Account sales and marketing support.

RST Technology
SeeMore’s patented RST, known by a visible gun sight on the top line, allows the golfer to set up the putter perfectly each and every time in relation to the intended target line. This is accomplished by lining up the black bottom portion of the shaft between two white lines and covering a signature red dot on the heel of the top line. The process is like locking radar onto a target. The two parallel white sight lines frame the shaft and serve as an indicator that the golfer is in perfect position to make a consistent and reliable stroke.
SeeMore Facts
