The PuttingZone announces ten new Certified Coaches joining the PuttingZone community:
The entire instructional staff of Robert Linville’s Precision Golf School, Greensboro NC, is joining the PuttingZone community of teachers as Certified Coaches. As part of Geoff Mangum’s joining with Robert Linville and his Precision Golf School, Mangum is training all ten golf instructors in the PuttingZone science and methods for putting instruction, with each instructor engaging in two days and 16 hours of personal 1-on-1 training with Mangum.
The certification training covers the four skills of putting — reading, aiming, stroking, and controlling distance or pace — along with teaching theory and methods, motor sports science, non-conscious perception and movement process of the brain and body for the four skills, practice and skills development, uses of technologies for putting instruction, putting psychology, putter design features, fitting, and selection, greens agronomy influencing putting skills, marketing putting services, and participation in and use of the PuttingZone community and its resources for professional development and effective teaching.
The ten staff teachers include: Robert Linville, Chris Haarlow, Jeff Crittenden, Jonathan Dudley, Corey Maggard, Steve Nixon, Jay Patterson, Tim Samelak, Justin Scott and Davis Troxler.
Robert Linville commented: “I’ve known Geoff for over a decade and have watched his instruction grow to become one of the best in the game. Geoff is my personal putting instructor and I believe his information and research are the best in the field of putting instruction. I’m very excited that Precision Golf School and Geoff Mangum’s PuttingZone are joining forces to elevate the instruction opportunity for all golfers.”
Geoff Mangum said, “Getting the whole staff plugged into the PuttingZone teaching is the model I’ve been developing now for a decade — bringing a turn-key putting instructional program for all four skills as an upgrade to an existing golf teaching program. The truth is that golf historically has neglected the skills of putting and consequently not many golf schools have a sophisticated and detailed offering for putting, and yet playing the game at the highest level demands just this. Not only will we be training teachers how to teach putting: we are also bringing to the table a complete set of outlined programs, teaching methods, drills and exercises, instructional videos, and supporting technologies for the best and most effective putting instruction in history. With 127 certified Coaches teaching in 20 Countries worldwide, the PuttingZone is rapidly expanding and is by far the largest community in golf for putting. I would like to invite other golf academies desiring a complete system for teaching putting to consider joining our growing community.”
