If I could recommend one book on Putting it would be this one. It is as good as Tom Watson's Getting Up and Down, which is a short game guide. I mean no disrespect to Mr Pelz, but I find his book overly scientific and mechanical. His ideas did not help me as much as Stan Utley's more natural and human approach to Putting. His book is a quick and stimulating read. The ideas he puts forth are practical, proven and original...

Stan Utley's approach to putting makes more sense than anything out there today. The stroke is much easier to repeat if it's on a little bit of an arc, more natural if you will. Utley shares the wisdom behind that stroke as well as how to read greens, overall course strategy and management. Highly recommend!!

Now I can focus more of...

In short, it is a mini version of the full...
