SeeMore PCB Putter at Pebble Beach - by www.putterzone.com

by PutterZone.com

The SeeMore Putter Company makes a triumphant return to the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am this year, hoping to extend its Monterey Bay winning streak after D.A. Points won last year's tournament while wielding a SeeMore FGP putter.

As part of our ongoing coverage from Pebble Beach, we caught up with SeeMore tour representative, instructor and jack-of-all-putter-trades Ted Gallina to find out what's new, and what's next, from the SeeMore Putter Company.

For starters, Ted shared some new tweaks to existing favorites for 2012. For example, the Si Series putters are rolling out a new sole design, as well as a new insert that, unlike its predecessor, is completely flush with the face. The mFGP2 mallet is also getting a refresh, with the addition of two milled alignment lines along the flange to frame the ball and accentuate SeeMore's RifleScope alignment feature.

SeeMore Putter Institute (SPi) Certifies 75 PGA Instructors From Across the United States and 20 Countries at 2012 PGA Show

The SeeMore Putter Company formally launched the SeeMore Putter Institute (SPi) at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando this past week.  SPi gives the 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. 

Throughout the four days of the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show, SPi platinum instructors certified over 75 instructors across the United States as well as from 20 different countries.  These PGA instructors took the initiative to improve their putting instruction by becoming a SPi Certified Instructor.  These certified instructors now have a platform or a base to begin teaching putting.

Why did they become certified instructors?  “During a round of golf, putting accounts for 40% of strokes, but research shows that only 6% of yearly lessons are focused on putting,” says Ted Gallina, PGA Teaching Professional and SeeMore’s Director of the SPi Program. “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 (SPi) for this instructor,” continued Gallina, who has been an active PGA member for over 12 years.

Gallina 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.

SeeMore’s patented RifleScope technology (RST) is the most logical, proven putter technology in the world.  This is done 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 whotold 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.”

Becoming SPi Certified will help golf teachers formulate a complete teaching plan to help their existing students and recruit new students to become great putters using the SeeMore system that has won 2 Major Championships and set numerous putting records on the PGA Tour.  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

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.  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 1^st place check from the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational.  SeeMore’s website at www.seemore.com and www.seemoreputtersblog.com has many new features about SeeMore’s remarkable legacy, technology, and tour success. SeeMore putters are custom made in Franklin, TN.

Interview with Pat O'Brien for Gotham Golf Blog

 

Here is a great invterview with Pat O'Brien for Gotham Golf Blog. Very, very informative.  Let us know your thoughts.

 

What Is Neutral? - www.patobriengolf.com

Below is a great post from Pat O'Brien on "What Is Neutral?" - Let us know your thougths?

Those who come into contact with me would probably tell you that if “allow” is my favorite word when teaching, then “neutral” is a close second. I believe that your foundation is your most important asset in your golf swing and putting stroke. If you do not have a neutral setup, then you cannot have a truly free motion. There is only one setup 
position in which you are truly neutral, and through the pictures seen here and the content inside, I will help you discover how to achieve it.

When you place your hands in a prayer position, you are centered and calm. You can even close your eyes and feel the calmness. From there, you simply lower your hands and fall from your hip joints while you maintain the weight in the center of your feet. This is neutral; your body is relaxed and free to move. With a putter, hold it out in front of you and then allow it to drop as you gradually fall into your setup. Notice how easy it is to make a smooth stroke.

Why don’t most people ever find this setup? Well, perhaps they have been told to get their eyes over the ball when they putt. Maybe their bodies are out of alignment through years of swinging with force in only one direction. Or they have read that they need to hold the grip in their palms or lifelines, which can introduce unnecessary tension and open forearms. Regardless, come join me and let’s work together to get you into a setup that will let your swing and stroke flow more freely and also save you from injury down the road.

Pat O'Brien Putting Academy Certification - Korea

By - Chan Song (VP of Sales - Far East)

The third day of Pat O'Brien's visit to Korea was an important day and a memoric day for Korean teaching professionals.  Short game and full swing instructors came from all over Korea to get certified by O'Brien.  We went to Sky Golf Club, a world class golf club where they held the LPGA event in 2009.  What a wonderful facility!!  We would like to thank them.

The morning session was spent in the classroom where O'Brien talked about the putting grip, posture, alignment and the stroke.  

 

 

The afternoon session was very "hands on" and interactive. Everyone had a blast!

 

 

After the completion of the Pat O'Brien Putting Academy, 25 teaching professional were given a certificate and a license to teach the POB putting system!
   

The Power of Being Neutral by Pat O'Brien - www.patobriengolf.com

I recently spent five days in Seoul doing clinics and interviews to help educate the Korean people on my putting philosophy.  I was fortunate to meet several wonderful people and I look forward to returning in the spring.  A theme that I often referred to was establishing a neutral setup to the putter so that it can go where it was designed to go without thought.  This month, I want to visually reinforce exactly what that means.

Having a neutral setup means many things.  Let's start with the position of your hands in relation to your body.  Try this simple test at home. 

Stand up and place your hands in a prayer position where they are even with your center. (Pic 1)

Picture 1

I want you to notice the sense of calm you feel, especially with your eyes closed.  Now, place your hands to the left of center. (Pic 2)

Picture 2

Notice the tension that you feel, especially in your right side.  So when your hands are to your center when you putt, (Pic 3)

Picture 3

all your lines are square and you feel that sense of calm in your chest and arms.  Free motion can flow from this position.  It simply cannot be completely free if you do not start in this position.

by: Chan Song (VP of Sales - Far East)

The Han Kyoung Golf Exhibition happens every year around the fall and this year the SeeMore Putter Company joined up with our exclusive distributor in Korea, Morning Sun Trading.  We had a number of people attend and everyone that came up to visit our booth had either read about us in many of the premier magazines in Korea or saw it on TV.  On the final day of the exhibition, many of the SeeMore enthusiast and general public alike were treated with our world class short game instructor and SeeMore Ambassador, Pat O'Brien.

 

During the exhibition we hosted a putting competition and the first prize won a SeeMore putter.  As you can see from the pictures below it was a huge hit at the show.  Many people signed up for the event and tried the putter.  Pat O'Brien is fast becoming a major putting instructor in Korea.
