With over forty percent of your stokes occurring on the putting green, you owe it to yourself to be the best putter you can be. With three of the leading experts in putting, this school offers you the opportunity to develop a sound putting stroke, tour level green reading skills and mental eye training that will transform your game on the greens.
Recognized by GOLF Magazine as one of the Top 100 best golf instructors in America, Fred Griffin is responsible for the development of all golf instructional programs at the Grand Cypress Academy of Golf. A PGA Class A professional with over 30 years of teaching experience, Griffin has served as the Director of the Academy since it opened in 1986. In conjunction with Dr. Ralph Mann, President of Swing Model and a biomechanics expert, they completed a comprehensive analysis of over 25 of the best putters on the PGA Tour. As in the full swing, the more proficient putters achieve their success because they minimize the number of variables that have to be controlled. Based on this scientific research, a sound fundamental set up and stroke will be described and taught in this putting school.
Dr. Ryan Caserta is one of the foremost authorities on the development and maintenance of mental expertise through sport-specific eye training. Regardless of ability level, winning and losing ultimately comes down to the mind. However, simply thinking like a champion, staying positive, and breathing correctly are not enough. Sport expertise research conducted over the past two decades has clearly shown that conquering the mind is ultimately connected to the eyes. Dr. Caserta has applied several different components of vision, visual perception, and cognition to examine how to improve athletes’ eyes, mental processing, and performance outcomes in sport. The Individualized Multidimensional Perceptual And Cognitive Training (IMPACT) program teaches athletes the most effective ways to use their eyes to improve their golf game.
Whether you're a professional golfer, caddie, junior, or amateur golfer, AimPoint Green-Reading will transform your game by teaching you the one aspect of putting which is never taught--exactly where to aim.
Mark Sweeney has pioneered a revolutionary green-reading method based on the highly accurate, Emmy Award-winning AimPoint Technology seen on the Golf Channel. Using the AimPoint Green-Reading Method, you will never again have to guess at how much break to play for any putt within 20 feet of the hole. Learn that putting is predictable and discover the most effective and reliable ways to determine the direction and precise amount of break for any putt.
Mental Impact Eye Training with Dr. Ryan Caserta:
Students experience innovative, cutting-edge eye training that is scientifically proven to quiet the mind and increase sport performance. In addition, the IMPACT training program provides statistical evidence of improvement, which is an aspect that no other traditional sport psychology training can provide.
The golf-specific IMPACT training program is designed to improve expertise in the following areas: Visual Perception, Optimal Quiet-Eye Zones, Situation Awareness, & Decision-Making.

Putting Stroke Training with Fred Griffin:
When putting, even the smallest movements can decide everything. SAM PuttLab uses state-of-the-art ultrasound technology and specific mathematic algorithms for precise measurement of the relevant putting parameters.
The intelligent SAM PuttWare automatically evaluates the putting strokes, calculates all relevant parameters, - e.g. rotation, acceleration, swing duration or impact, - and graphically displays the results. The data reveals precise information on how to improve your game, e.g. club face angle or sweet-spot, and how to tailor individual training strategies.
Benefits of SAM PuttLab:
- Easy to use technology.
- Evaluation of putting technique and consistency
- Training modules for improvement of specific aspects.
- Immediate display of results after each stroke.
- Direct access to all relevant putting parameters.
- Data comparison with performance of PGA Tour players.
