Optimal Putting: Brain Science, Instincts, and
The Four Skills of Putting

A New Paradigm
for Putting in the 21st Century

$34.95

"'Optimal Putting' is a magnificent contribution to the game itself not just putting. Geoff Mangum's ability to distill information and extensive research into a readable and digestable format is outstanding. For me personally, the information on brain science is gold dust. If you are a serious student or teacher of the game this book NEEDS to be part of your collection." -- Dr Karl Morris, leading Golf Psychologist, Golf-Brain.com
"I have enjoyed your book very much. It's packed with great information!" -- Scott Fossum, PGA, Charlotte NC
"Dear Geoff, Your book arrived the other day and I have been avidly reading it ever since! Congratulations on producing not only a magnificent instruction book, but a first class piece of literature in its own right. It is a joy to read and you deserve great credit for producing such a gem. Kind regards" -- Dr David Shlosberg

"Dear Geoff, Thank you for the extensive material assembled in this ebook. I'm involved in teaching coaches in Austria and also serve as a medical professional for the national junior's team. I was amazed by the matierial I found on neuroscience on your webpage and I'm looking forward to reading the ebook." -- Ernst B. Zwick, MD Paediatric Orthopaedic Unit Department of Paediatric Sugery Medical University of Graz Auenbruggerpl. 34, 8036 Graz Austria
