When the man who has won an all-time record eighteen major professional golf championships, designed more than 265 golf courses worldwide, and written the bestselling golf instructional book of all time offers to teach you everything about putting, you'd be wise to pay very close attention.

In Putting My Way, the incomparable Jack Nicklaus presents his clear and cohesive approach to every element of holing putts. From finding the right putter and understanding the mechanics of stroking the ball to reading all types of greens, Jack focuses your attention on the golfing skill most recreational players neglect severely, and thus often perform indifferently, even though putting constitutes roughly 45 percent of such players' games.

Jack explains every mental and physical element of what he calls "the gentle art of putting," from equipment and stroking techniques to productive practice and foolproof strategizing. He reveals his own lifelong putting "musts," along with the simple but highly successful practice systems he utilized throughout his legendary career.

Jack shows you in depth how to:

• Approach every putt with a positive attitude

• Reduce doubt and pressure with proper focus and greens reading

• Determine break and speed

• Apply the essentials of setting up

• Find and consistently strike on your putter's sweet spot

• Apply your key mental and physical resources on every putt

• Practice the putts that matter the most

• Get proficient enough at putting to actually enjoy it

This powerful and complete exposition of putting prowess includes 29 black-and-white illustrations and eight color paintings to help you understand Jack's concepts and apply them reliably to your own game.

Whether you are new to golf or are a seasoned player, Putting My Way will help you take the mysteries and frustrations out of improving your mastery of every hole's final act.
