""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.
