Putt With Authority: The Power of Optimism

This book is all about putting with emphasis on building a positive attitude about everything. Putting is the simplest motion in the golf game and you can continue the line if you can work everything into a habit so that you can putt with minimum thought. There are a number of key factors in the putting game and your success depends upon how well you perform each:
- Start with a good foundation - eyes looking down at some part of the ball and the arms in a near vertical position;
- A comfortable grip;
- Read the greens - remember that all putts break;
- Putt with authority - think that you are going to make all putts; and
- Be aggressive on short putts.

Is the game that simple? Yes it's possible if you can control the above factors. A good adage to remember is that nothing is free in the golf game.
