Brian Vo
Brian's a 21 year old UCF student who lives in Orlando. Brian says he doesn't play competitive golf anymore but he should because he's got a heck of a repeating stroke as you can see from the video. He's also not afraid of a few blisters...

2. BOOMERANG MATCHPLAY

OBJECTIVE:


Trap the first ball in the target, use the second ball to release it. Do it in fewer putts than your opponent - and WIN!

RULES:
 
1.
Players should compete in a best of 3 or 5 round competition.
 
2.
Determine who putts first either by handicap or by coin toss.
 
3.
The player who traps and releases the ball in the fewest putts wins.
 
4.
If a tie, competitors will play a sudden death round to find a winner.
 
5.
Ensure the Boomerang is set-up the same for all players.
 
6.
All players must putt from the same distance.
 
7.
If you exceed 10 putts you loose your turn with a score of 10+.
 
8.
The penalty for getting both balls trapped in the target is to clear the target of both balls before counting recommences.

























3. BOOMERANG AVERAGE
BA Leader
Nathan Wolfe

"In golf like life, you're not going to get where you want to go if you're not prepared to do the work - and you can quote me on that. But at least the Boomerang can make that work fun".

Nathan Wolfe
OBJECTIVE:

The idea is to hit 100 putts and count the number times you trap and release a ball in the Boomerang's target. Catching and releasing a ball has a value of one. Your Boomerang Average (BA) is the number of putts it takes for you to catch and release a ball in the target averaged over 100 putts. You should putt from a minimum of 2m from where the Boomerang touches the mat and you must have the Boomerang on the 4th highest height setting. Dial in the optimum target depth and get putting.

To keep score divide a sheet of paper in two columns, write Putts on the left and C&Rs on the right. When you hit a putt you record a "I" in the left column when you get a catch and release you record it on the right and the left also.

Your Skill Level
Big Dog
2 - 3
You are the big dog. You have your acceleration and synchronization down to a fine art. You are so confident in what you're doing and can predict so accurately how a ball will behave that I don't really know what else to teach you - except how to manage it and possibly how to program the old gray matter a bit better. You're the king of BoomTech and providing you manage it well, you're a tournament winner.
Medium Dog
3 - 4

You know how to control that ball pretty good. Surface speed isn't really an issue for you, nor are the conditions. For you putting is about seeing a line and knowing how to hit that line at the right pace. There isn't much more than that, unless you want to go really low. If you're happy cruising along with your efficient stroke that's great. But if you'd like to take it to the next level e-mail me about taking the final step.

Little Dog
4 - 6
You're someone who's pretty handy with the flat stick. Makes his share but has days where you just wonder what the hell am I doing? For you it's all about consistency and that means a trip back to Q-school I'm afraid. Get the basics perfect and you'll easily leap this hurdle in your stride.
Puppy
6 - 9
You're the guy that has so much misinformation about the putting stroke swimming around in his head you don't know which end of the putter to use. You get lucky from time to time when two flaws cancel each other out but most of the time you're just trying to make sense of it all. Get hold of the Beat the Boomerang DVD - it will give you the tips to drop you into the threes in no time.

Runt
10+

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you're at the bottom of the pile in terms of your skill with a putter. What you should do is concentrate on the basics - eyes, hands and ball. When you get those three things where they should be and can do it with your eyes closed you'll notice a huge drop in your BA.
