Bruce Howard
"Putting Guru"


Bruce Howard’s genius as a Putting Coach does not lie in his knowledge or ability to teach the mechanics of putting,
his genius is in teaching that position and technique, are really only a preliminary and rather minor part of elite putting.
He shows the real key, the most important part of putting is what goes on in the Golfer’s mind.
Thinking, psychology, mental discipline – is what really produces world class putters.
The real key to progress is the training of the mind, which in turn controls the physical performance.

Anyone that adopts the principles and techniques shared by Bruce Howard cannot help but achieve a tremendous improvement.

Amy Yang Wins Scandinavian Open by Six Shots
2nd win and 7th top-5 in 12 starts for 2008


VASTERAS, SWEDEN -- Amy, who only turned 19 two weeks ago, has won the Scandinavian TPC hosted by Annika Sorenstam on the Ladies European Tour (LET), firing rounds of 71-69-63 to finish six shots clear of the field.

Amy had 2 sessions with PuttingZone's Bruce Howard in July 2007 and has a putts-per-hole stat of 1.64.

Over the three rounds of the Scandanavian TPC, Amy averaged 26.5 putts per round and only 1.47 putts per hole.

In 2008, Amy has notched eight top-10 finishes (seven are top-5 finishes) in 12 starts and has won twice (German Ladies Masters and Scandanavian TPC).

In the final round at the Frosaker Golf Club, Amy started four strokes back but fired a stellar 63, having birdied seven of 10 holes from the third to move atop the leaderboard and stayed there, finishing with birdies on the last three holes.

Amy tied the course record (63) set earlier in the day by Minea Blomqvist of Finland, who shared second. This was Amy's second win as a pro, following the Ladies German Open in early June. Amy also won the ANZ Ladies Masters as a 16-year-old high school student in 2006, becoming the first amateur to win a major women's professional golf tournament in Australia.

Nikki Garrett
wins 2nd straight Ladies European Tour event shooting an equalling course record and a personal best of 7 under in the process.
1 eagle and 5 birdies - 27 putts

AUSTRALIAN Nikki Garrett is golf's hottest new property after posting back-to-back wins on the Ladies European Tour. The 23-year-old Garrett, who secured her maiden professional win in Tenerife in the Canary Islands last week, followed up with a strong victory in the Ladies Spanish Open in Castellon yesterday. She fired a controlled two-under-par 70 in the final round to beat England's Rebecca Hudson by a shot. Garrett was one stroke behind with three holes to play but kept her head while Hudson found the water with a nervous tee-shot on the short 16th. "I never thought I'd win one tournament, let alone two in a row. I'm absolutely delighted," she said.

Ladies European Tour Press Release

Garrett took three putting lessons with NSW based [PuttingZone Coach] Bruce Howard, known as "The Putting Guru" before she came to Europe and she added: 'I've taken a few positive things out of that. My concentration goes up about 99 percent when I'm on the golf course." "Seven under was a personal best for me. I hit my driver well and putted really well. I've never shot seven-under before so I'm pretty stoked about that," said Garrett.

"I'm feeling confident with my putter at the moment and that's the main difference between this year and last year."
