David Leadbetter Enterprises extends thanks to GCAA coaches

ORLANDO, Fla. -- David Leadbetter Enterprises (DLE) would like to extend its gratitude and best wishes to the coaches of the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) who attended the SAM PuttLab Demonstrations in Springfield, Massachusetts during the USGA Junior Amateur Championship. Over the course of three days, coaches were treated to a series of demonstrations on the SAM PuttLab and LinxTracker Player Development systems.

The demonstrations were a resounding success with over 25 of the top Division One collegiate programs represented. Several coaches were given the opportunity to have their putting stroke analyzed by PuttLab experts. "We were extremely pleased by the coaches' overwhelming response and support for the SAM PuttLab" said Blaik Shew, President of DLE. "The SAM PuttLab is a breakthrough technology that has the ability to help players to dramatically lower putts per round and meet and exceed the performance expectations of elite golf programs."

Utilizing ultrasonic technology, the SAM PuttLab measures 28 different variables of the putting stroke in Real-Time and reproduces the data in full-color, easy-to-read graphical reports. With measurements including loft, impact spot, rotation and velocity, the SAM PuttLab is the most comprehensive putt measurement tool available. The PuttLab system is an ideal teaching tool for coaches and instructors alike. Additionally, with advanced putter fitting applications, the system is able to fit a player for a putter faster and more effectively than ever before.

With tremendous success already in Europe, the PuttLab maintains that trend here in the United States. Having already been integrated into many of the leading golf instruction schools and top-ranked collegiate programs in the United States, the SAM PuttLab continues to be set the standard in putt measurement technology.

The LinxTracker Player Development system was also very well received by the coaches of the GCAA. "LinxTracker provides the easiest, most accurate and fastest way to track your players' statistics" said LinxTracker COO, Jason Hipskind. "Coaches were amazed with the ease of tracking a player's scores using the LinxTracker system." LinxTracker is an ideal tool for a coach to track individual and team statistics over time and eliminates the time it takes to input player scores and tracking team statistics. Utilizing ScanTron technology, player scores and statistics can be entered, tracked and filtered in a matter of seconds. Visit www.linxtracker.com for additional information.
