Putting by the Numbers, Golf Improvement, and the Science of Better Lag Putting
About this episode
Bob Labbe discusses his quantitative approach to improving lag putting in golf, blending engineering principles with practical advice.
In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with Bob Labbe, author of Putting by the Numbers: A Quantitative Method of Lag Putting. Bob brings a unique perspective to the game of golf by combining decades of engineering experience with a practical, numbers-based approach to improving putting. After earning his engineering degree from Georgia Tech, Bob built a long career in air pollution control, engineering, manufacturing, and industrial systems before applying that same analytical mindset to one of golf’s most frustrating challenges: lag putting. In his book, Bob presents a science-based method designed to help golfers improve distance control, reduce three-putts, and lower their scores without changing their putting stroke or buying new equipment. His approach uses physics, engineering mechanics, and simple arithmetic to help golfers better understand green speed, friction, distance, and their own personal “power factor.” This conversation explores how discipline, measurement, practice, and patience can transform not only your golf game, but the way you approach improvement in life. Whether you are a weekend golfer, a serious player, or someone who…
