Rinker’s Golf Tips Feb. 9th Deane Beman. Former PGA Tour Commissioner, Deane Beman, was my guest on Rinker’s Golf Tips. Deane discussed his amateur days winning two U.S. Amateurs and a British Amateur. Deane went into the insurance business after graduating from the University of Maryland and didn’t turn pro for several years. He said he got hurt and didn’t want to turn pro until he was well. In five years on the PGA Tour, Deane won fives times before becoming the PGA Tour’s second commissioner in 1974. He talked about his first formal golf lessons with Carl Loren and how he helped him to understand the fundamentals of the game.
Deane is now in the putter business with CurePutters.com. I ran into Deane at the Allianz Championship last week and he showed me his new putter which helps you aim the putter through triangular alignment. The lie and weight of the putter is adjustable and it made the list of great new products at the #PGAShow in January. We had several calls about the new putter and it was great having Deane on. #RinkersGolfTips is on @SiriusXMPGATour Radio every Sunday 9:00-10:00 ET Sirius 208 and XM 93.
