Mastering Golf with Systems: Bob Labbe's Pioneering Approach

In this episode of 'Your Message Received', host John Duffin speaks with engineer and author Bob Labbe about his innovative system for improving long-distance putting in golf. Labbe, who enjoyed a successful career in air pollution control, applies his engineering background to the game of golf, developing a unique method called 'Individual Power Factor' (IPF) to enhance performance on the course.

As a non-golfer, I am really pleasantly surprised by how easily I understood Bob's specific approach. When Bob says to use a little math, science, patience, and practice, it all made perfect sense to me. I am now excited that I can at least attempt to play this game. Don't forget about the fun factor too!

The conversation delves into the practical applications of this system, its ease of adoption for beginners and seasoned players alike, and its broader implications for confidence and integrity in both sports and business. Whether you're looking to up your golf game or seeking inspiration from a man who has combined passion, science, and sports, this episode offers valuable insights for everyone.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
