"POCKET
SIZED MIRACLE!"... June 2009
Hi
Larry, my name is Rory and I recently bought your putting book as a last resort to cure
my putting. I am 16 years old and didn't want my golfing career to end so early
because I was unable to use a putter. I am very pleased to say that this 'pocket
sized miracle' really has worked. My last 3 rounds of golf have been nothing
short of amazing. I recently played a match against another junior from another
club and my putts were as follows:
1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1. 24 putts!!!
This led to 2 eagles and 4 birdies and a gross score of 66, 3 under par. my
previous best score was 70....(for the rest of Rory's story, please go to the
top of my "Testimonials" page)
TESTY GREENS... August 2009 Many many thanks for your book Larry. It is a total winner and I appreciated the quick shipment. Testy greens on Fota Island course in Cork, Ireland but I am sure I took off at least five shots thanks to your book!!! Many, many, thanks again! ---Deric
Scotland, April 2004..."Larry, I love this little book! On Saturday, I single-putted the last 5 greens to shoot a 71 and win the competition! On Sunday, 25 putts for a 76! Windy day, but only 2 strokes away from best gross in a field of 300+ competitors! --Peter Royce, Scotland
Modesto, CA. May 2005..."Larry, your book is one of the best things going because you introduced the visual part better than anything I've seen! Stan is using your method along with the rest of his arsenal. He's definitely on a journey and you have helped him on that road. It would be nice to shake your hand." ---Stan Sr.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PUTTING from one of golf's greats... Putting is the final determinant of your score on every hole...a missed putt is a mistake from which you cannot recover...putting theoretically is half the game. ---Jack Nicklaus Jack Nicklaus: My Story (Simon & Schuster, 1999).
DRIVING VS. PUTTING...Putting represents 40-50% of your score. Driving accounts for less than 25% of the game, with all your other clubs contributing the rest. Studies have proven that just a 10% improvement in your putting will affect your score more dramatically than a 10% improvement in either your driving distance or any other part of your game. Putting is easier than driving the golf ball and doesn't have to be a complex set of scientific events. The Putting Edge simplifies the putting process for you and will make you the best putter in your foursome!
More from Peter Royce of Scotland..."Research into the development of our Pro-Putt Laser Trainer included the influential text of Dave Pelz, The Putting Bible, and the METHODS of Putting Guru's Dr. Harold Swash, Todd Sones, Geoff Mangum and Larry Stanley's, The Putting Edge. All advocate an "In-line Putting Stroke” —a stroke driven by the shoulders with no wrist or hand action." This award winning innovative training aid is used in Swash Golf Schools throughout the world.
The Importance of Visualization...Chapter 7 of The Putting Edge is entitled, Concentration, Confidence, and Visualization. The Putting Edge was the first golf book that applied "visualization" to putting and the golf game. A few years back, a NFL quarterback had taken his team to the playoffs for the first time and was asked on national television, "What do you attribute your success in getting your team to the playoffs?" His response, "Visualization!"
Golf Illustrated Magazine featured an article in 2007 called, "Drive It Farther!" Writer C. C. Reynolds talks about the World Long Drive Championships and how some of these sluggers use "Visualization" to drive the ball farther. True, Reynold's is talking about driving the golf ball; however, visualization should be applied to your golf game as well, especially putting. Tour Professional Mike Weir informed a National television audience that he used "Visualization" when he won the 2003 Masters. VISUALIZATION works and it will help your putting & golf game.
The main reason that golfers miss a putt is because they don't know how to read the 'absolute' line of putt or target line to the center of the hole. The Putting Edge is a unique pocket-sized book that describes and illustrates the proven method for you.
