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 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. 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. Listeners 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.
