Some appointments still available for on-site SPi Certification at Demo Day, SeeMore booth 707
(Franklin, TN – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) The SeeMore Putter Company is formally launching the SeeMore Putter Institute (SPi) at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. SPi has been created to give golf instructors the finest system in the world to teach putting. SeeMore is the #1 independent putter brand in the world. SeeMore focuses only on putters and putting performance. SeeMore’s patented RifleScope technology (RST) is the most logical, proven putter technology in the world.
By “hiding the red dot” the golfer implements a system, which leads to perfect alignment, perfect set up, perfect stroke, and perfect roll. The same every time. It has won Major Championships. Set tour putting records. And helped golfers of all levels find greater enjoyment through a consistent putting system. Most of all, it is a system that can be readily learned by any golfer, and a system that works hand in hand with the fundamentals based teaching of most golf instructors.
“SeeMore has been working on the roll out of the SPi idea for several years now, and in fact had a soft launch of the program during 2011 with a global team of instructors, where we really ironed this out to be a program that first and foremost worked for the needs of the hundreds of teaching instructors who told us they had a real void when it came to putting instruction,” stated Jim Grundberg, SeeMore’s CEO. “It is based on the teachings of our key global teaching and tour instructors, and the input of many of the tour players they work with, who have used SeeMore putters and the SeeMore system for years to improve putting performance in practice and in play on all tours.”
Ted Gallina, PGA Teaching Professional and SeeMore’s Director of the SPi Program, and Pat O’Brien, SeeMore’s Global Teaching Ambassador and putting instructor to PGA Tour players who have earned over $30 million using the SeeMore putter and the SeeMore putting system, developed the SPi concept and system jointly over the last 5 years. “SeeMore is now ready and geared up to roll this great resource out to any golf instructor interested in teaching more putting lessons,” stated Gallina.
During a round of golf, putting accounts for 40% of strokes, but research shows that only 6% of yearly lessons are focused on putting. “The main goal of any instructor is to help the student to enjoy the game more through improvement. Putting improvement is one of the fastest ways to improve one’s game. And improved technique and having a reliable system for putting is crucial in
achieving the goal. SeeMore created the SeeMore Putter Institute for this instructor,” continued Gallina, who has been an active PGA member for over 12 years.
The SPi support system includes a passionate, focused team of instructors and customer service specialists who are there for you to help you teach, fit, sell, and service your clientele, for the ultimate game improvement experience.
SeeMore will be offering 20-minute “quick certification” sessions at booth 707. To schedule an appointment for certifications, please email ted@seemore.com.
Silver Certification Instructor Award Ceremony
SPi has levels of certifications based on knowledge of the SeeMore system. “We are proud to announce that 16 of our Bronze Certified Instructors from our pilot test program in 2011 have obtained the Silver Level of Certification, based on a variety of performance criteria but mostly based on the fact that these recipients all dramatically increased their number of putting lessons and putter fittings based on the simple fundamentals of the system,” stated Gallina. “And each of them has documented that their students have not only dramatically improved their putting, but their enjoyment of the putting game during practice and play”.
SeeMore will be recognizing these individuals at two award ceremonies during the PGA show.

Testimonials for SPi Instructors
Chris Carfangia (Pine Lakes Golf Club) – The most wonderful part about the SeeMore Putter Line is the fact that IT IS THE ONLY CLUB ON THE MARKET that promotes the “THEORY” and the “APPLICATION” of the theory. Which blend nicely into the SeeMore Putting System..
To elaborate, we all know what the “THEORY” is. It is getting our body, arms and head in the correct position to build a consistent stance, posture, alignment, grip and ball position to make a repeatable putting stroke.
The “APPLICATION” is just that. The Riflescope Technology. It is how to apply all that we teach and know about our set up to be successful. When the putter moves back it must move inside the intended target line and up. If you “hide the red dot and see the two white lines” throughout the stroke you have achieved the “APPLICATION” of the RST.
Steve Watanabe, Jr. (The Bridges Golf Academy) – My putting lessons have increase since becoming a SPi Certified Instructor. Being SPi Certified has shown in my students. They have been excited about
their improvement and are seeing the benefits. The biggest impact is that they understand what is really important in being a good putter. Being SPi Certified allows me to give the BEST advice to golfers who want to improve their putting. Working with Pat O’Brien on my own putting allows me to transfer my
knowledge and experience to my students. It’s purely a simple putting philosophy that I believe is the most efficient.

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.
