Book Cover & Preview Text
The book, "Putting by the Numbers", a quantitative method of lag putting that will be of interest to all golfers whether recreational, amateur or professional. The reason for this bold statement is that it has been invented and tested by the author over the last 25 years and is proven to be accurate, reliable and repeatable for all golf courses you play all over the world. The book makes reference to the qualitative green speed instrument, "the Stimpmeter" that is used to determine green speeds on golf courses throughout the world. The concept of the Stimpmeter utilizing surface friction and ball travel to determine green speed is further developed to a quantitaive method. This quantitative method of lag putting is applicable to green surfaces, fringes, fairways and first cuts of rough. The featured developed variables in the book are defined as:"individual power factor" and "putter retraction distance".The book is accompanied by a trailer, in-home and on-course pre-round practice videos to demonstate the method and fully develop the information in the book.
The universal value of the book and method described is that it is applicable for use on any and all golf courses throughout the world to make the initial play of the greens on a new course as if you had played the course many times previously.
