"You drive for show, you putt for dough."
This old adage is especially resonant with Dr. Bob Rotella, the bestselling author of Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect, and one of the foremost golf authorities today. In Putting Out of Your Mind, Rotella offers entertaining putting. He reveals the unique mental approach that great putting requires and helps golfers of all levels master this essential skill.
Much like Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect and Golf Is a Game of Confidence, Putting Out of Your Mind is an informative and valuable guide to achieving a better golf game. While most spend their time trying to perfect their swing so they can drive the ball farther, Rotella encourages golfers to concentrate on their putting -- the most crucial yet often overlooked aspect of the game. Great players are not only aware of the importance of putting, they go out of their way to master it, and mastery can only begin with understanding the attitude needed to be a better putter. Rotella's mental rules have helped some of the greatest golfers in the world to become champion putters and for the first time, are now available to golfers everywhere.
From true-to-life stories of such greats as Davis Love III, David Duvall, and Brad Faxon to dozens of game-changing practice drill, Putting Out of Your Mind is the new bible of putting for amateurs and pros alike.
