Product Description
"A breakthrough approach to putting from the PGA Tour's premier short-game guru PGA stars such as Jay Haas, Craig Stadler, Peter Jacobsen, and Darren Clarke have all sought advice from fellow pro Stan Utley about their putting, and have gone on to such immediate success on the green that Utley has become the most in-demand teacher in the game. Now, in The Art of Putting he outlines his unique approach to putting for golfers of all skill levels. In a welcome change from mechanistic and overly-complex putting "systems," Utley breaks down the putting stroke to a simple, natural motion, revealing a straightforward method for learning this sure, repeatable stroke. As he guides you through the fundamentals of the proper grip, posture, alignment, and swing, Utley will overhaul and improve your stroke by putting feel back into your game. This definitive book also provides: * A complete primer on club design, with tips for finding the putter most in tune with the nuances of your swing * A guide to the sensory aspects of a good putt, from grip pressure to impact response to the way a putt should sound * Simple steps for reading greens accurately, every time * Drills to commit your putting stroke to muscle memory and overcome the tics that can knock your putts off line * Cures for the mental hurdles you'll face on the short grass"

 Utley Putting July 15, 2008
This is an understandable, straight forward, easy to adapt to method. Probably the best treatise on putting available.
Excellent book after your thorough thinking about the details July 3, 2008
I first knew Stan when I read the book "the Art of short Game", after reading that book, my short game improved a lot and ususally, I can get ups & downs by 50%.
After that I bought the other book "The Art of Putting", again it is a very good book, but it needs the reader to think before you can learn how to putt well. I am now very confident in putting for the range from 8 feet up to 25 feet.
I would recommend this book to those more serious player that have got medium level of skill.
Simple, natural and powerful! June 3, 2008

First off, I am a 3 handicap that is working hard at trying to get to a 0. My biggest struggle was with my short game, my pitching was decent at best, chipping was pretty steady, but my putting was awful. I was averaging about 33-34 putts per round. I attempted to read both Pelz books but found them extremely dry, poorly written and the methods didn't do anything for me. After reading this book and applying Utley's method, I started getting better and better, now, my last 3 rounds I've had 26, 29 and 31 putts, and shot 75, 73 and 81. My game will never be the same due to this book. I now feel confident over 4 footers whereas last year I dreaded these putts, I'm even dropping some 15 to 25 footers now, which really improves your scores. I highly recommend this book!

I love to hate this game and the in-congruity of a ball traveling 400+ yard in two shots then requiring 2-3 shots from within 20 feet has frustrated me for years. Utley's simple/natural approach to the process of putting is a stark contrast to Peltz more mechanical/technical method. After reading this book, I have relaxed more over my putts and the biggest thing for me was alignment and the placement of my forarms. I am already more confident with my putting and can focus more on distance and read instead of mechanics.
The book could use some better editing, more examples/pictures at different moments in the process, but all in all a great approach to putting that will improve anyones performance who is frustrated with this aspect of their game. Like anything practice and diligence is key.
Where is the video??????
Best since George Low April 7, 2008
This is an excellent technique. Unlike Dave Pelz, Utley's system -- which is very much like what George Low advocated, is for golfers who have a heartbeat and don't want to become machines.
If everyone who plays golf tried this system, 90% would improve their putting, and the others were doing it already.
