Product Description
A breakthrough approach to putting from the PGA Tour?s premier short-game guru

PGA stars such as Jay Haas, Craig Stadler, Peter Jacobsen, and Darren Clarke have all sought advice from fellow pro Stan Utley about their putting, and have gone on to such immediate success on the green that Utley has become the most in-demand teacher in the game. Now, in The Art of Putting he outlines his unique approach to putting for golfers of all skill levels. In a welcome change from mechanistic and overly-complex putting "systems," Utley breaks down the putting stroke to a simple, natural motion, revealing a straightforward method for learning this sure, repeatable stroke.

As he guides you through the fundamentals of the proper grip, posture, alignment, and swing, Utley will overhaul and improve your stroke by putting feel back into your game. This definitive book also provides:

? A complete primer on club design, with tips for finding the putter most in tune with the nuances of your swing
? A guide to the sensory aspects of a good putt, from grip pressure to impact response to the way a putt should sound
? Simple steps for reading greens accurately, every time
? Drills to commit your putting stroke to muscle memory and overcome the tics that can knock your putts off line
? Cures for the mental hurdles you?ll face on the short grass

5 out of 5 stars little John   December 14, 2008
Excellent book. I wish I had read it years ago. Stan Utley takes a different approach to putting and makes it less mechanical and more like the full golf swing. It certainly made all the difference in the world to me after I had the lie angle on my putter revised to his recommendations.

Mr. Utley has covered all the bases in this book. It will certainly help those in a putting slump to go back to the basics to improve their fundamentals and technique in order to "feel" a sound putting stroke.

This is an understandable, straight forward, easy to adapt to method. Probably the best treatise on putting available.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent book after your thorough thinking about the details   July 3, 2008
I first knew Stan when I read the book "the Art of short Game", after reading that book, my short game improved a lot and ususally, I can get ups & downs by 50%.

After that I bought the other book "The Art of Putting", again it is a very good book, but it needs the reader to think before you can learn how to putt well. I am now very confident in putting for the range from 8 feet up to 25 feet.

I would recommend this book to those more serious player that have got medium level of skill.

First off, I am a 3 handicap that is working hard at trying to get to a 0. My biggest struggle was with my short game, my pitching was decent at best, chipping was pretty steady, but my putting was awful. I was averaging about 33-34 putts per round. I attempted to read both Pelz books but found them extremely dry, poorly written and the methods didn't do anything for me. After reading this book and applying Utley's method, I started getting better and better, now, my last 3 rounds I've had 26, 29 and 31 putts, and shot 75, 73 and 81. My game will never be the same due to this book. I now feel confident over 4 footers whereas last year I dreaded these putts, I'm even dropping some 15 to 25 footers now, which really improves your scores. I highly recommend this book!
