"Geoff, I want to sincerely thank you for coming to Rock Barn and teaching me today. I was overwhelmed with how much knowledge and experience you bring to your lessons on all of the various topics we covered today. It was by far the best golf lesson of any type that I have ever received. This truly was the most fun and enlightening day I believe I have ever had in thirty-five years of playing golf, and I am so looking forward to what it will do for my overall golf game."

I love your work! I believe it is helping me greatly. I had an outrageous case of the yips which your thoughts are helping me to overcome. That would be miraculous and wonderful. I believe it will happen.

"Golf schools in Florida were a huge success. During my stay in Florida, I was introduced to Geoff Mangum. Geoff is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met in regard to putting. His website is www.puttingzone.com. My partner Roy, my son Mark and I decided to try Geoff’s putting technique at the school and it was a huge success. Some time this year I will be bringing Geoff up for an all day putting clinic at The Bridges and Beechtree Golf Club. Anyone interested should contact me by email to be placed on the mailing list. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS DAY!! Remember, putting is 35% of the game."

Dear Geoff, I just wanted to drop you a note and introduce myself to you. I am Dr. Robert Winters of Orlando, Florida and I am pleased to visit and read your fine website. I am the Resident Sport Psychologist for the David Leadbetter World Teaching Headquarters here in Orlando and as I think you know, have been the NBC Mental Game consultant since 1995. (affilitated with NBC.golf.com of which you have printed articles as well). I have enjoyed reading your articles and going through your website. I particularly want to thank you personally for being so thorough with your book and audio reviews. I just wanted to let you know as someone who has spent 28 years in every bit of putting research that your efforts are to be congratulated and that I believe you are doing a very nice job. I look forward to the day that you and I will meet and discuss some of the newest information that we are developing in the science and art of putting. I wish you a wonderful holiday season. Yours in great golf and friendship,

Dear Geoff, Thank you for all the information you provided me with regard to putting and the yips. It was a great help. The thesis identified some interesting concepts which has me considerering doing a masters and/or PHD in that area.  Your web site and newsletter are fantastic, you've done a great job. I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.
          - David Barker, Australia

Dear Geoff: I read with great interest your research directory and would ask you kindly to email the full research information database, if possible. This is great stuff and information every golfer should have. Good work. All the very best,

I read your piece on the core putt at Golf.com several weeks ago. This is the best golf instruction that I have ever seen. I won't bore you with details but I will say that I have gone from being mediocre (lots of 3 putts, few one putts) to great almost overnight. Your advice took the "hit and hope" out of my game and replaced it with a lovely, unforced stroke. The slow tempo you gave me in my putting has magically shown up in my chipping and short pitches. My index has dropped from 11.1 to 9.5 and it is going lower. My last two rounds have been 76 (personal course record) and 79 AND I didn't really hit the ball very well. Thank you!

I downloaded your putting tip "THE CORE PUTT" and was very pleased with the information. I tried the theory out and it sure helped my putting game today. I had been pulling even short putts to the left and I also think that I had the YIPS! Today, I putted much better than I did friday. I lean more towards the theory of things and have been thoroghly engrossed in your web pages. I find them facinating and they are the most extensive I have ever seen anywhere bar none. Please accept my congratulations and thanks for doing this important item for the good of the golf game. You are truly dedicated. Thanks again.. I'll correspond with you again as things improve. Also, thanks for sending the E-mail downloads I requested earlier. I have read some of your information and am very impressed. The info is the best I have seen, bar-none. I wanted to to tell you how much I appreciated your fast response. The information you have put together is nothing short tremendous. You have obviously put a lot of sweat and your heart into this project and it shows. I am still wading through the bibliography and am amazed at the info in it. Keep up the great work. Cheers and good putting!!!

Geoff, absolutely the best explanation I've ever heard! Maybe some TV commentators will someday read your explanation and LEARN something.
Thank you for sharing.

You've got a great site. I think it fills a huge gap of accessible information on the HOW-TO of putting.

You've done an excellent job and the PuttingZone is now one of my favorites. I like the way that you have addressed putting from all aspects, feel, science, as well as a great appreciation for the masters of putting. I have approached using the driver much in the same way. I will include your website in my daily purview of the Internet and hopefully will have something beneficial to add to your forum area.

Keep up the good work, Geoff. Your dedication and love of the game are obvious and infectious.
