Your Putting Solution: A Tour-Proven Approach to Mastering the Greens

The author of Your Short Game Solution presents his Tour-proven putting-improvement system that can work with any stroke.

In a follow-up to the industry-acclaimed Your Short Game Solution (2015), James Sieckmann presents a no-nonsense plan to making more putts. Most putting manuals focus on hard-set mechanics that even the top putters on Tour fail to achieve. According to Sieckmann, you can score even if your mechanics are flawed as long as you master four essential skills: 1) choosing the correct line; 2) starting your ball on that line; 3) matching the line with appropriate speed; and 4) believing completely in yourself and in your training. Borrowing from the same playbook he uses with his Tour clients, Sieckmann outlines a step-by-step process for perfecting these skills, which automatically boost performance.

For the past twenty years, James Sieckmann has honed his strategies and taught PGA and LPGA professionals at his school, the Shadow Ridge Golf Academy in Omaha, Nebraska. He is a eight-time PGA Section Teacher of the Year and one of Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers in America.

David DeNunzio is a managing editor at GOLF Magazine and has coauthored thirteen instructional books on the sport, including Sieckmann’s first book, Your Short Game Solution.
