SAM PuttLab (Science and Motion) sessions are under the personal supervision of Matt Bolton.

Bolton Performance Golf operates from a custom-built teaching facility. Located on the practice range at Rosebud Country Club, it has all you need.  A two hundred plus metre driving range, chipping and putting and practice bunker.

Matt is a SAM PuttLab Certified Putting Instructor. SAM PuttLab, is the world’s leading teaching aid for putting analysis and development. This was installed in 2018 at the Bolton Performance Golf academy. The data will help Matt analyse the whole spectrum of the putting stroke. Including stance, equipment, alignment and the actual putting stroke.

Putts constitute over 40% of all strokes in a round of golf. This makes the putter one of the most important clubs in your bag. Most golfers never get fitted for a putter. Using the SAM PuttLab technology Matt can determine your exact putter requirements. Research carried out by Ping indicates that that eight out of ten golfers have a putter which is the wrong length.

Data that helps golfers

We display the data and pictures on the high definition screens. This enables the student to see:

• their putting stance
• the impact it has on their alignment
• the impact it has on their accuracy

Adjusting the length of the putter handle and changing the putting stance can have an immediate improvement. You will notice this in performance and reduction in putts required per round. We do all adjustments required in the Bolton Performance Golf workshop.

Students will be able to see graphics showing any miss alignment. Mat can advise of adjustments needed to make to improve consistency.

At the conclusion of the one hour SAM PuttLab session most student find a huge improvement in their putting.
