Geoff Mangum is widely recognized as the most knowledgeable and effective putting coach in golf for professional players and elite amateurs. His popular website, The PuttingZone.com, attracts over 75,000 visits monthly from golf's top players and industry insiders and is the top-ranked website in the world for putting. His first PGA Tour student, Shaun Micheel, went from 160th in putting on Tour to winning the 2003 PGA Championship on the strength of his putting within two months of working with Mangum. His first developmental tour pro, Blake Adams, fired a personal-best, course-record, event-record, tour-record 62 the very next morning after a lesson with Geoff and won his event running away from the field. Veteran golf instructors have hailed him as a genius in golf instruction who knows more about putting than anyone on the planet.
In the US, Mangum operates his elite putting academy and teaches lessons and clinics in Asheboro (Tot Hill Farm GC), Hickory (Hampton Heights GC), Charlotte (Renaissance Park GC), Burlington / Graham (The Challenge GC), Greensboro (Bryan Park), and outside Winston-Salem in Wallburg (Meadowlands GC). He also travels extensively within the US. His International PuttingZone Academies are now opening in Europe, with the first two in Yorkshire, England, and in Hamburg, Germany.
