(Franklin, TN – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) The SeeMore Putter Company formally launched the SeeMore Putter Institute (SPi) at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. The goal of SPi is to give golf instructors the finest teaching system for putting in the world. SeeMore is the #1 independent putter brand in the world, while focusing only on putters and putting performance. SeeMore’s patented RifleScope technology (RST) is the most logical, proven putter technology.
By “hiding the red dot,” the golfer implements a system leading to perfect alignment, perfect setup, a perfect stroke, and a perfect roll. It’s the same way 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 one that works hand in hand with the teaching fundamentals 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 respected tour instructors, Pat O’Brien and Ted Gallina. Input has also been taken from the various tour players who they’ve worked with, who have used SeeMore putters and the SeeMore system for years to improve putting performance in practice and in play on all tours.”
Silver Certification Instructors – SPi has levels of certifications based on knowledge of the SeeMore system. “We are proud to announce that 18 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 using the simple fundamentals of the system,” stated Ted Gallina – PGA Teaching Professional and SeeMore’s Director of the SPi Program. “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”.

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 and personal coaching. For more interest, contact Ted@SeeMore.com
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 increased 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.
SeeMore Facts
SeeMore originally became recognized when Payne Stewart won the 1999 U.S. Open playing a SeeMore putter in the greatest final round putting performance in US Open History. The brand was re-launched in 2007, and immediately regained worldwide prominence as Zach Johnson used a SeeMore FGP to win the 2007 Masters. Pat O’Brien, SeeMore’s Putting Ambassador, developed his unique putting philosophy and teaching based on his friendship and observation of Payne Stewart, ’99 US Open Championship winner.
O’Brien, putting coach of Masters Champion Zach Johnson and fellow Ryder Cup team member and perennial Tour putting leader Vaughn Taylor, began coaching both Taylor and Johnson as they advanced from the Hooters tour to the Nationwide tour, PGA tour, the Ryder Cup and to the Masters championship in seven years. Their success was based on the strength of consistently good putting. Taylor and Johnson have also both won tour putting titles using SeeMore putters.
In 2011 D.A. Points used a SeeMore putter to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Also in 2011 to two Nationwide tour players used a SeeMore putter to secure a 2012 PGA Tour card. Russell Knox won the Chiquita Classic and Kyle Reifers received the 1st place check from the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational.
