Robert Linville
Robert Linville commented: “I’ve known Geoff Mangum for over a decade now and watched his program of putting instruction grow to become the best in golf, and quite possibly the best in the history of the game. His research is astonishing, not simply for golf history and teaching techniques, but also for human movement and motor sports skills development. His results speak for themselves. Having Geoff direct our teachers for putting offers Precision Golf School the opportunity to present the best golf training in the Southeast, and expand our already successful program to become a major draw for serious players across the country. We’re excited about the future.”
The Precision Golf School joins the PuttingZone worldwide community of putting academies and coaches as the 23rd Academy. Over the past ten years, the PuttingZone has grown to include 109 Certified Coaches teaching in 20 countries: the United States, Canada, England, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Morocco, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea.
Geoff Mangum
Geoff Mangum, founder of the PuttingZone, said, “I’m thrilled to be asked by Robert to be part of his Precision Golf School. His teachers are some of the best around, and his school also has a tremendous reputation among serious golfers. Now the PuttingZone will be a major part of teaching in Greensboro. And the facilities at Bryan Park Golf Course and elsewhere in the area open up some really exciting possibilities for the PuttingZone as a research and teaching operation and as a base for the entire PuttingZone community.”
