Part 2 - Today, we welcome golf putting specialist, Aimpoint instructor, and PGA professional Mark Bentley to the podcast. We are thrilled to have him join us, as it's a rare opportunity to speak with someone of Mark's calibre.
In this episode, we explore the world of putting: Why is it so challenging? Is it an art or a skill that can be developed? Should we rely on technology or not? Does Aimpoint work? If so, how does it work, and who uses it? Why should we consider adopting it? We also address critics who argue that it slows down the game or cannot effectively be used on sloped greens.
AimPoint Golf is a unique putting methodology that emphasises the scientific analysis of slope and breaks on the green, enabling golfers to read the contours more effectively. Proponents argue that it enhances a player's understanding of the greens, often leading to improved putting performance and greater confidence on the course. Many players appreciate the structured approach AimPoint provides, which can help eliminate guesswork and promote consistent results. However, critics contend that the technique can be overly complex and slow the pace of play, particularly on tour. Some believe that relying too heavily on this system detracts from the natural feel and instinct that come with developing a more traditional putting style. Mark gives us the official answer to these points.
But that's not all! We are also running a competition; the details are in the podcast. The prize? A SPURK golf fairway mat, as featured on Sky Sports. So be sure to listen in and get ready to participate!
