The Art of Putting By Stan Utley

If you're trying to work on your putting game, this book is by far one of the best we've ever seen. You'll be able to learn a lot from it and even if you're a putting pro, there are some fantastic tips and techniques that everyone should try. This book can make a big difference in your game and it was one of our favorite golf instructional books of all time. From real tips you can use to thinking material, this book has it all. It's rare to find a book this well written and comprehensive when it comes to putting. You wouldn't think that the art of putting could take up this many pages, but when the author is breaking everything down so that each step can be understood, it more than accounts for the length of this book. Putting is actually pretty complex and you'll have a whole new appreciation for it after you've read this book.

The book starts off with the author's own experiences before moving into the absolute basics of putting. This is a great chapter for the novice golfer and the author did an admirable job putting everything together in an easy to understand format. The third chapter is a must read for any golfer, regardless of their skill level. This one covers the equipment you must use for putting and how big of a difference the right putter can make in your game. If you're a pro but have difficulty on the green, this may contain the answer to your problems.

The next two chapters deal with the art and form of putting, and you can pick up some really great tips here. Everything is discussed, from the proper stance, to the right way to swing a putter and line up your shot. From there, you'll be learning more about the mental game of putting and how to avoid setting yourself up for failure. We read this chapter twice simply because it was so informative.

Last but not least, the author wraps up some advanced techniques to try on your next round as well as a some common problems and fixes. For trouble shooting, this was a great section and it should be of use to most golfers. The putting drills are also incredibly useful and you can get to work on fixing your game right away.

Bottom line, if you need to fix your game, you need to read this book. We really enjoyed how it was put together and the author did a great job of making it easy to understand. Too many golf books tend to be a little inscrutable and they are not friendly for new golfers. We didn't find that the author used confusing terminology or obverse concepts that were too difficult for beginner's to understand. This little manual on putting belongs in any golfer's bookshelf and it would make the perfect gift for any golfer on your list.
