The Putting Arc congratulates VJ Trolio on his selection as Teacher of the Year for the Gulf States Section of the PGA of America (Mississippi and Louisiana).

VJ is the co-inventor of the Putting Arc and author of one of Booklegger's best-selling books, The Final Missing Piece of Ben Hogan's Secret Puzzle.

He is the teaching professional at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi, and the 2007 Mississippi Open Champion. He also teaches and works with Old Waverly short-game instructor, Tim Yelverton, the 2008 Mississippi Open Champion. They are the only professional winners of this tournament in the past 14 years.

For the past two years, VJ Trolio has been teaching Ben Hogan's unique pivot to his students. This pivot is fully explained in his new book, complete with the math and science to back up what Ben Hogan was really doing. VJ has also done a video comparison between Ben Hogan's pivot, the Stack and Tilt, and the other two pivots most frequently seen on the pro tours.
