If you want to lower your golf score, the answer might not be a new club — it might be simple math.

In this episode of Authors After Action, host Donald Dunn sits down with engineer-turned-author Bob Labbe, creator of Putting by the Numbers, to break down a physics-based approach to putting that helps golfers eliminate costly three-putts and improve consistency on the green.

Bob explains how understanding distance, friction, and repeatable mechanics can dramatically improve lag putting without changing your swing or buying new equipment. His method is designed for golfers of any skill level and focuses on simple, practical adjustments that lead to immediate results.

Whether you are a recreational golfer or a competitive amateur, this conversation explores why putting accounts for such a large portion of your score and how small changes in approach can save multiple strokes per round.

1. Why most golfers struggle with long-distance putting
2. How math and physics improve distance control
3. The mental side of consistent putting
4. Why great putting matters more than powerful drives
5. Turning decades of research into a practical golf method
6. The process of writing and publishing a niche instructional book

If improving your putting is your fastest path to better golf scores, this episode provides a smarter, more reliable way to approach the green.
