Personal Message “Since I was a young golfer, I have always said that Putting was only linked to feeling and that if you would not have this gift of nature, you could not improve. Today, thanks to the Swash Putting Schools, I managed to improve my knowledge on the ball roll and the correct set-up to teach a better putting technique. This improved knowledge, I teach all the girls of Italian women national team and to all my students which want to improve their putting technique. I can strongly recommend to all of you to visit and work with an Accredited Instructor of the Harold Swash Putting Schools.”
