Show notes

What if putting was just math? In this episode, I sit down with Bob Labbe, author of Putting by the Numbers: A Quantitative Method of Lag Putting, to break down why lag putting is the most overlooked skill in golf and how a simple physics-based method can shave strokes off your game.

Bob shares his journey from starting golf at 52 years old to shooting par at 82, how he built and sold three air pollution control companies before turning his engineering brain loose on the putting green, and why putting accounts for up to 50% of your score yet almost nobody practices it that way.

Whether you're a seasoned golfer or you've never left Top Golf, this one's packed with insights on distance control, individual power factor, and why one less beer might mean better strokes on the putt.
