Book Description
"The Pro Tours' Hottest Coach" (Golf Digest) reveals the secrets that helped Phil Mickelson win the 2010 Masters and can utterly transform every player's game.
When a resurgent Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship in September 2009, he was quick to credit a series of simple putting lessons from veteran golf champion and instructor Dave Stockton. As a top coach, Stockton has taught a long list of pro players-including Annika Sorenstam, Yani Tseng (winner of four LPGA tournaments), Adam Scott (Texas Open champion), Hunter Mahan (Phoenix Open champion), and Morgan Pressel (World Ladies Championship of Japan winner)-the putting strategies that finessed their game.
Stockton's breakthrough concept is that every player has their own Signature Stroke, which is unconscious. Good putting comes from the mind, Stockton says, not from a series of stiff mechanical positions. With visualization, the right frame of mind, an efficient pre-putt routine, and connection to the individual internal stroke signature, any player can make far more putts. Putting has always been taught as an offshoot to the full swing, when in reality it is far different- almost a different game. Unconscious Putting will help players get out of the rigid, mechanical, overthinking trap.
In Unconscious Putting, Stockton shows how players at every handicap level-from pros to weekend golfers-can putt effortlessly and with confidence by integrating a new mental approach with a few simple physical routines that will keep them locked on target. Readers will also gain invaluable advice on reading greens and equipment. Illustrated throughout and filled with anecdotes about how Stockton's lessons have helped today's leading players, Unconscious Putting is a must-have golf book and a category classic-in-the-making.

Solid Putting Advice,
By James Lythgoe "The Golf Swing: It's all in th... (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Unconscious Putting: Dave Stockton's Guide to Unlocking Your Signature Stroke (Hardcover)
For those of you who are in search of a putting stroke I offer you three books that you should consult. The first one is by Golf Digest and was published back in 1973. It is called All About Putting. This book illustrate many different putting strokes. The second book you should consult is Paul Runyan's book called The Short Way to Lower Scoring. And the last book is this book written by Dave Stockton. What I like about this book is that it covers the critical aspects of the putting stroke. Despite the fact that Dave has his opinion and the book is written from his point of view, he is very open to other methods. Such is the topic of putting. Dave gives you the best advice he can yet he recognizes others have putted using different ideas. Such is the character of putting. As you search for your putting stroke be open to learning as many different putting strokes as possible. In doing so, you will increase your chances of finding the right stroke for you. You will have arrived at your destination when you can roll the ball like Loren Roberts.From the author of The Golf Swing: It's all in the Hands.

This review is from: Unconscious Putting: Dave Stockton's Guide to Unlocking Your Signature Stroke (Hardcover)
If you have seen Dave Stockton on the Golf Channel, you know that he is a great teacher on putting. My one complaint is that the book is only 90 pages. The concepts and ideas that he wants to convey are clear and interesting.

Putting Is Half Your Score,
By Donald A. Collins "Free Lance Writer" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Unconscious Putting: Dave Stockton's Guide to Unlocking Your Signature Stroke (Hardcover)
Mr. Stockton's record as a touring professional makes this book a must read. His advice is interesting since he gets away from the mechanical aspects into the realm of the unconscious or intuitive. Muscle memory and the imprint on our subconsious is well exemplified by any one who touch types: You don't have to think about where the keys are, your fingers just go there. So why not apply this fact to instruction of any kind?As a mediocre but avid player for some 65 years, I constantly seek Nurvana in this key scoring aspect of golf and welcomed this book as most useful. Remember, since par is figured for any hole by allowing two strokes, so theoretically putting is half your score. While no player consistently hits every green in regulation, thus usually one takes fewer than 36 putts on a par 72 course. Still, as more and more players, even touring pros, seem to be using the putter even when off the green, reading Mr. Stockton's book will be well worth doing. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Great putting aid for all levels...and a suggestion,
By M Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Unconscious Putting: Dave Stockton's Guide to Unlocking Your Signature Stroke (Hardcover)
Dave Stockton has produced another expertly written book. His ideas are easy to understand and he explains things in an uncomplicated way which helps you put them into practice on the course. This book will benefit golfers of every level. To help you practice and improve your putting, I also recommend you get a great little book called "The Little Book of Indoor Putting Games: 18 Sure-fire Ways to Improve Your Game at Home or in the Office" - fun and effective games and drills to help you all year round on the carpet. Together these books have knocked shots off my game.
