“Six Putting Tips To Make You A Better Putter”
"Avoid these common putting mistakes and become a rock-solid putter week-in, week-out"
Mistake #1: Focusing too much on having a perfect putting stroke
Focusing on making a perfect putting stroke will inhibit feel and take your mind of the main objective… which is the target!
A good stroke is the result of a relaxed body joined to an attentive mind following a dependable pre-shot routine.
What do you think a hunter is thinking about when he throws a spear at an animal? Do you think he is thinking about taking is elbow back above his ear, making a 35% angle between forearm and bicep, whilst rotating shoulders 90 degrees, before releasing the spear and making sure his weight is transferred onto his front foot, whilst holding perfect form?…
…If he thinks like this, he and his family will starve. I think not, he is totally focused on lining up the animal and throwing the spear at a precise spot on the animal; end of Story, B.B.Q dinner here we come!
Same with putting; if you think too technically, you are not going to hole many putts. Once you start getting more focused on the target – and less on technique, you will start holing loads of

A simple putting stroke
putts.
Mistake #2: Changing to some new radical grip will make you a better putter
Cross hand grips, claw grips and belly putters are all fine and good tools to help you develop a pendulum stroke. But don’t neglect the other (more important) factors like visualization, routine, and confidence – by being to focused on the type of putter and grip you are using.
Mistake #3: Buying new putters and changing putters will make you a better putter
No Sir, buying a new putter or changing putters all the time is like purchasing the “Miracle-Abs-Cruncher” or the “Magic-Diet-Pill” to lose weight. Do lean, strong, healthy people use these “quick-fix” products (dreamed up by marketers) to develop their bodies?…
…Of course not, it is the same with putters; they are simply tools to express what the mind is thinking and feeling. The mind connects with the body, the body connects with the putter and the putter connects with the ball… and if the mind is working well, the ball will connect with the bottom of the hole!
Mistake #4: Luck, greens and putts not breaking can be the cause of miss putts
If you lip out… you have hit the putt to wide; no luck involved. The putt has not gone in because: the green was not read correctly or the putt was miss hit or the putt was not hit at the correct speed.
When a player starts to look at the REASON for this miss putt, instead of making excuses (like some many people do), the player is on the road to becoming a great putter. Miss putts a gifts, and I will show you how you can use these gifts to putt great.
Mistake #5: Not practicing how you play
I call them “putting-robots;” you know… players that stand in a crouched posture, pumping balls out from the same spot, ball after ball, imprinting their size 10 Nike’s into the green. Hey a good stroke is important but a good stroke only happens when your mind is relaxed, you are following a routine and you are reacting to the target. You can not have a good stroke and hope to putt well week-in week-out when you are focused solely on the stroke.
Maybe it is just me… but when I get out on the course I have 30ft-double-breakers, 5ft left-to-right down-hill putts, 14ft straight-flat putts and maybe an 8ft curling, pressurized putt on the 18th to finish off winning a competition or taking the money from your buddies!
What would happen if you practiced like you played?
What would happen if you combined proper practice with a putting system to follow?
Would you be better able to handle all those putts and all situations? I know you would.
Mistake #6: Not having a repeatable routine
Routine? What’s you talkin about Willis? This his how great players hole loads of putts and can putt well under pressure. Think Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus; they get nervous like anyone does, but they have a dependable, physical and mental routine that shields them from the nerves and destructive thoughts.
This is why many amateurs can go out and have 5 or 6 up on the front side then have 5 or 6 down on the back 9. The pressure gets to them; they do not have a grooved pre-putt routine to turn to. It doesn’t have to be this way, a dependable routine that you know inside and out, it is your secret weapon; your guardian angel against pressure.
I have developed: through research, practice and experience (under pressure) these techniques for many years now; you can be nervous (as I get too) but if you have a routine to follow, you can continue to make putts and keep a good round going – even when the pressure is on. Having a dependable routine is also a passport into the “zone” – that place where putts are holed from all over; you feel calm, focused and the game feels easy. What a beautiful feeling.

This Book Is A Result of Extensive Trial and Error (on the course) and Research Into The Art and Science of Putting
It all started in the late 90′s when I was doing a Professional Trainee-ship. I was always a solid putter (doing loads of practice as a youngster) but never freaky. That changed in late 1997; from this point on I have had dozens of peak putting performances.
Through studying what leading sports and golf psychologists where teaching to leading golfers at the time – and practicing, testing and adding to this information myself, I came up with a step-by-step system for consistently good putting round after round.
These rounds include multiple birdie barrages featuring 4-6 birdies in 5-10 holes. One of the most extreme rounds was a victory as a Trainee Professional…
…At this time I was a very ordinary ball striker and on this day I hit a typical 9 greens in regulation…
…The result of hitting 9 greens in regulation was a winning 3-under par round containing just 23 putts!
14 years later (just recently) I made 7 putts from an average of 18ft in 9 holes on route to cover the first nine holes in 6-under par (average success rate on the US Tour from this distance is 1.6 from 9 attempts). I was deep in the zone on this day and I cover valuable insights gained from this in the E-Book and in the videos.
You get a step-by-step account of the systems I use.

What Golfers Are Saying About The Truth About Putting…
“Hi Anthony, I really enjoyed your book on putting. It’s nice to see words and advice on the finesse on putting. It is told in a very relaxed informative way and you give the reader inspiration and some concrete ways on how to improve their putting. I like the – put the effort in part – planning and stalking the hole – looking for the break – thinking about the speed – visualizing the putt – then being in the zone and the feel of the hands as they do their work. Mostly I enjoyed your style and enthusiasm. I will do my best to ‘look and enjoy.’ Attitude – attitude – attitude – so important for life – and putting!” Phil Brown – Golfer, Sydney, Australia

I can also testify to the round that AP described, as I was playing immediately behind him and witnessed far too many putts dropping!” Dave Inglis – 6 handicap golfer, N.S.W, Australia
What a useful book! I found the content easy to understand and it opened my eyes to a new way of looking at putting. My level of awareness on the greens has increased greatly. I now have a system to follow. Many Thanks – Ian Hamilton, Wakehurst, Golf Club, Australia.
