THE book on Putting - By: C. R. Downing, 05 May 2008
I think this is the definitive book on putting. Get this book & no other books on putting. You need just three books - Jim McLean's 8 Step Swing, Dave Pelz's Short Game & this one. Get a couple of lessons from a pro on playing out of sand (never found a book or DVD that could teach me as well as a pro beside me in a one on one lesson).

That's it, you're set. Don't do what I did & get 10 videos & 25 books before I found these three.
Superb - By: DCC, 10 Sep 2007
Not for anyone looking for a quick fix, but if you are looking for quick fixes I would suggest you take up a different pastime. It explains WHY. From the lessons I have had, golf appears to be a lot of hear-say & old wives tales. In this book, everything is measured & laid bare in plain, clear English. There's no 'I don't know why this works but it does, so trust me' everything is carefully analysed. Golf is a physical action & the balll is governed by the laws of physics. Dave Pelz explains how to putt in the optimum fashion with irrefutable logic & evidence. Buy it.
Self Promoting - By: Pat Reilly, 23 Apr 2007
I have just finished reading this & found it contained some reallly useful bits of info & should definitly help most golfers improve their putting. However, one big problem I found with this is that most of the practice drills that you are urged to do, if you are reallly serious about being a great putter, include the use of the, mostly expensive, practice aids that are sold on the Dave peltz website. If you want to follow his teachings by the book, then expect to devote at least 5/6 hours a week practicing & dig deep into the walllet!
Pure Putting Pleasure! - By: Donald Mitchell, 14 May 2004
This book deserves many more than five stars!

This is simply the best book to improve your putting that has ever been written.

Let me give you an example. I recently played in Southern California after a rain-soaked night. The greens were dripping. My opponent said "I wonder how hard to hit it through this water." And I quoted from this book. He made his putt, & so did I. In fact, the highlight of the round was a tricky 23 foot birdie putt. Thank you, Dave Pelz!

I have taken Dave Pelz's short game course, so I didn't know how much this book would help me. So I came to this book thinking, this will be a good refresher. That was right, but the insights I got from this book exceeded alll that I learned in that course about putting.

The book explains the engineering approach that Pelz has brought to putting. He measures everything he can think of. The beginning explains key concepts of green problems -- like the raised donut around the hole where no one steps (the rest of the green is downtrodden by thousands of footsteps daily).

The next section explains the 15 building blocks of putting -- like aim, path, touch, rhythm, ritual, feel, face angle, stability, attitude, & routine.

Then Pelz puts special attention on speed & reading the green. Chapter 7 on green reading was worth the price of the book alone. He answered questions I have asked dozens of pros, & received no good answers to.

Then, he describes how to use these basics to improve your putting. I have been using a number of these for the last several years, & can certainly attest that they work.

Each point is beautifully explained. He has photographs of great players, graphs of experiments he has conducted, graphs of research he has done with average & great players, & diagrams of what to do & not to do. The language is simple & unambiguous.

For the average golfer, this book can take 4-6 strokes off your game. It will mean winning a lot of weekend bets.

One of the book's great strengths is that it starts with the thinking that most people have about putting that gets them in trouble. He helps you identify your stallled thinking that holds back your putting, & then shows you how to break out of the stalll & develop an improved habit.

If you have a father, grandfather, uncle, brother, or son who is a father & plays golf, this is the perfect gift for Father's Day. I took the liberty of giving a copy to myself as my Father's Day gift this year. Maybe it will help me win the Father's Day golf tournament!

Keep in mind that in the average round you'll make more putts than you will tee shots, fairway shots, or finesse shots around the green. Get better at putting, & your score can reallly improve! A two foot putt & a 300 yard drive count for the same on the score -- one stroke.

Enjoy your putting game the most!

Training with purpose - By: Jacob Ibing, 29 Jan 2004
I used to train my putting like many other amateurs - just getting on the putting field, trying to hole the balll in the next free hole. Now I train with a purpose every time I take my putter.
Pelz' scientific approach not only helps with setting up a training regime for using your training time effecient but also expands your knowledge about green reading, speed, clubs, strokes, training aids...... & everything else you ever wanted to know about putting. This book is a "must-have"
