Recently, I've read Sones "Light's out putting," Pelz's "Putting Bible," and Farnsworth's "See It & Sink It." Sones is basic stuff. Pelz is interesting technical stuff with some good drills and lots of talk about mechanical aids (most of which he sells). But Farnsworth is by far the most interesting and potentially the most helpful.Farnsworth analyzes the way we see, judge distance and break, and the problems many of us have with how we see. All the drills and practice in the world won't help much if the the target isn't were we think or visualize it is. And many of us simply don't see straight, even many pros. This book helps figure out our shortcomings in this area, how to overcome them, and how to retrain the way we see.Has this ever happened to you? You seem to miss most of your putts to the right. You draw a straight line on the ball, line it up to the hole and now find your missing most of your putts to the left! This book will help you figure out what's going on here. It's invaluable.

When I first skimmed this book, I felt it was poorly illustrated and the writing was very marginal. However, upon reading it through, I think it is one of the best golf books ever written, mainly because it spells out in detail how one can really begin to use his vision on the putting green, something that's alluded me for the 30+ years I've played the game. The exercises and tools are SIMPLE and tremendously effective. It is a joy to get a book you can use right away--and see results almost immediately. A genuine breakthrough golf manual for the guy who seriously wants to improve.
The eyes lead the body... Farnsworth's approach is unique.

I have read a lot of golf instructional books and this is the most unique. Dr. Farnsworth's basic yet profound concept is that the what and how you see leads all else in putting. I found I am missing to the left because I see the hole to the left. Drills, tips, and sklill test in the book have helped me lower my score 3 strokes (I am now a 5 handicap).

Dr. Craig Farnsworth simple to understand drills and putting techniques have helped me to dramatically improve my scoring. As a 2 handicap he has taught me how to maximize my scoring potential on each and every hole. Leading me to shoot a 66 earlier this year. Every golfer of every level should read this book if they want to improve.
