​Dan Hellman (Twitter - @DanHellman1, FB – H3 by Dan Hellman, IG – h3bydanhellman) is the owner of H3 by Dan Hellman; a.k.a. Hellman Holistic Health, and one of the best physical therapists/health and fitness professionals on the planet. He has helped some of the best golfers in the world recover from injury, get back to playing at a world class level and make sure they don’t injure themselves again. His ‘toolbox’ of disciplines is out of this world and in 2017 he was recognized by ‘Golf Fitness’ Magazine as one of the ’50 Best Golf Fitness Professionals in America’.

Before establishing H3, he practiced physical therapy in several outpatient orthopedic centers specializing in sports medicine and spine rehabilitation. Dan is a past senior faculty member of the prestigious C.H.E.K Institute, which educates fitness and healthcare professionals in a uniquely integrated and holistic approach to health, fitness and well-being. He has traveled North America and the world teaching personal trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths the C.H.E.K philosophy.

Trained in both traditional and manual physical therapy, Dan has also studied extensively under pioneering French osteopath Guy VOYER and is qualified to teach VOYER’s Soma method. Soma stresses that training — whether for performance, rehabilitation or maintenance—must begin with an understanding of how the entire body moves and does its work.

Last but certainly not least, Dan is an instructor with the well-known TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) and created an on-line program where he walks you through exercises and workouts that will create maximum performance both on and off the course.

Dan is an avid golfer, and he combined his love of the sport with his in-depth understanding of the human body’s limits and potential to create Golf Body Pro. This program helps golfers at all levels play better by conditioning the body for the demands of the golf swing or adapting to physical limitations that may affect the swing. He has worked with golfers from youth level to the top players on the PGA Tour.

​"The tempo and the rhythm of a physical pendulum does not change because you change the size of the swing. What changes with the size of the swing is the impact velocity at the bottom of the swing, where the peak velocity is expressed right through the bottom of the tick-tock."      
- Geoff Mangum, Putting Theorist

Geoff Mangum (T - @geoffmangum FB - geoff.mangum) is a Putting Theorist. If you're wondering why he is a 'Theorist' and not a coach, instructor, or guru you will have to listen to this episode to find out. If you haven't heard of Geoff I wouldn't be surprised if you struggle with your putting because he is the most knowledgeable person on the planet when it comes to putting.

He is the author of the book "Optimal Putting: Brain Science, Instincts, and the Four Skills of Putting"

Part of what makes him so knowledgeable is he turns over every stone to continue his learning. Whether it's a new putter, training device, way of reading greens, stroke theory or something else he will study it to the end. This is probably where he has rubbed the establishment the wrong way in that he has challenged the 'old' way of teaching putting and some are put off by his methods and presentation.

There is one thing for certain...he knows putting. Whether you like him or loathe him you cannot deny his knowledge and because of that he has my utmost respect.

There was so much information we tried to pack into today's show and we only scratched the surface. I'm sure Geoff will have to come back so we can dive deeper into putting. Today's was the starting point so I trust you enjoy our conversation.

​"The number one thing we're doing is trying to educate golfers on the fact that 65% of all golfers are in the wrong size shoe."     - James 'Bubba' Kroeger - Manager Foot Joy Field Marketing

This is one of the coolest interviews I’ve done, and it is with my good friend, James ‘Bubba’ Kroeger. One of the reasons this is so cool is because Bubba has had arguably two of the best jobs you could ever want in the golf business. His first one was in Titleist golf ball R&D where he would go up and down the East Coast, gather a lot of research on Titleist golf balls with amateurs, club pros, and tour pros, take that back to the engineers at Titleist so they would know what needed to be modified to optimize a golf ball; dimple depth, dimple pattern, outer core material and so on. He was also a club fitter for Titleist where he got to work with and fit some of the top amateur’s in the game, Titleist staff club pros and Titleist PGA Touring staff pros at the Titleist home facility in Massachusetts. From there he went on to become Manager of Foot Field Marketing, where he is primarily focused on managing Foot Joy’s amateur promotions program at the same time overseeing Foot Joys infield fitting and consumer marketing initiatives. That may sound like a lot of big words, but it really means he is the Foot Joy Amateur Rep. In this position he goes to a lot of the top amateur golf tournaments, and junior tournament’s around the country, and works with some kids who really like playing the Foot Joy and Titleist products. Today’s interview is packed with a lot of information on golf balls, club fitting, amateur golf and if by the end of this interview you don’t think that Bubba is one of the best guys in the game and has had some of the best jobs in the game, than you might have listened to the wrong interview.

​Golf 360 came about from a theory I wrote a decade ago called The Golf Paradigm. This theory was in the process of becoming a master’s thesis and book until life got in the way and time didn't allow it. It is something I came up with after spending over 30 years in golf. During that time, I was fortunate enough to have met, become friends with or worked with some exceptional people. Some of them were within the industry while others were outside of it but they all had phenomenal information that helped me improve as a player, a coach and a person. Whether it was a world-renowned coach, genius club fitter or engineer, ground breaking health professional or therapist, fantastic mental coach or psychologist or someone that understood how to utilize all of these to the benefit of the whole, they are some amazing people. There were also many others, all highly accomplished and from various fields; the business world, other professional athletes, and many more that were kind enough to pass along the knowledge they had acquired over a lifetime of work. Not only did their input help me as a touring professional, it also helped me in life and with my current teaching position with the The Golf Paradigm Academy. I wanted to take my good fortune of having access to so many people and bring that to you so you could apply it to your own game and life. With such a wide array of people I thought why not call it 'Golf 360'

The common denominator with all of the guests is they have two things in common 1) they were very highly accomplished and exceptional in their field and 2) they were more than willing to share their knowledge, experiences and pearls of wisdom with me and many others who were more than willing to learn and improve themselves in their games, business or life. 

I hope you enjoy listening to each of the guests and can utilize the information they pass along; whether its a story, an experience or fascinating information so you can continue to improve your game and life.
