Putting Out of Your Mind

"You drive for show, you putt for dough". This old saying is familiar to all golfers and Bob Rotella, one of the foremost authorities on golf today, is a firm believer in its truth. Here, 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 a resonant and informative guide to achieving a better golf game. While most golfers spend their time trying to perfect their swing so they can hit the ball farther, Rotella encourages them 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 begins with an understanding of 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 can now work for golfers everywhere. With everything from true-life stories of such greats as Davis Love III, David Duvall, and Brad Faxon to dozens of game-changing practice drills, Putting Out of Your Mind is the new bible of putting, and is sure to bring about immediate results for anyone who plays the game.

Chapter One: The Heart of the Game

Tiger Woods, playing a group ahead of Billy, had just birdied the final hole to take a one-stroke lead. Tiger was charging. He had birdied three of the last four holes.

The Nissan Open that year was played at Valencia Country Club, and the 18th hole was a long par-5. Billy had not birdied it all week and he did not reach it in two strokes on this occasion. He hit his three-wood into a bunker to the right of the green. But Billy then hit a nice explosion shot to about five feet. He made that putt to force a play-off.
