''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. |
