"After
completing this putting improvement program I
have more confidence and accuracy in putting,
and better relaxation for every shot.
I've
never seen anything like this as most putting
tuition I've seen covers the basics of picking
the line, setup and stroking. But yours goes not
a step further, but a mile further on every aspect
of the task, and the feedback from the aids is
invaluable in helping the player to see their
faults.
The
putting drills you gave us give a clear explanation
of what to do and then in many cases you get feedback
on whether you are doing it right.
Now
I have confidence in my putting and improvements
in accuracy. This means I'm playing better golf."

"The
long game improvement program has improved my
ball striking consistency as I don't have as many
wild shots as I used to.
I
think the instructions were easy to follow. Like
I said, I used to hit a lot of shots to the right,
and now they are infrequent. I think it is because
I now realize my cocking of the wrists should
be directly on plane and not as much inside as
I used to do it. I think there is less manipulation
of the clubhead when done properly.
I
have never seen a swing improvement product that
has such quality and so much information. It's
great for a golf nut like myself.
I'm
very happy I have finished the program because
my scores are down and I feel like I am hitting
the ball in a more solid manner. I also have fewer
really bad rounds, which means I am able to get
back to hitting it pretty good after losing it
for a few holes.
I
enjoy playing golf more now because it's always
fun to score better. You are a dedicated student
of the game and teacher and it shows in your material.
It's fun to learn from a golf nut like I am."

"Your
instructions are very easy to understand and follow.
Your use of pictures and very detailed step by
step instructions, make it very easy to accomplish
each task.
I
already feel much more positive that I am doing
what it takes to be better at putting. The repetitive
nature of the exercises has made it fairly easy
to transfer the same habits to the golf course
and was pleased to see that I was remembering
most if not all of the correct steps.
I
like it because it is comprehensive, treating
every aspect of the putt to include relaxation
and instilling confidence which I know is very
critical to the success of my shots. For the first
time since I started playing the game, I can feel
what I am doing right and wrong and know what
to do to correct it.
That's
a very enjoyable feeling.
I
could feel a very different thought pattern especially
prior to a putt. I felt more comfortable and confident
standing over each shot because I was only worried
about the process. I also feel more strongly that
I should have done better when I do not hit a
good putt as my expectations on my performance
have also increased and so need to add yet more
mental control. I used to worry about my grip
and setup and those things do not seem to enter
into the equation.
We
have had some fairly bad weather here in Virginia
recently but I have managed to get in two rounds
and even with the greens in less than perfect
shape, had total putts of 29 and 31 which I know
is at least 3-4 strokes better than when I started
because I was at 35.8 when starting the course.
Biggest
difference is that I no longer have to think about
HOW I am going to putt the ball since I have totally
ingrained every part of the process so all I have
to think about is where I want to putt the ball.
Reading
the line is entirely about being able to see and
feel the correct line and using your drill during
the last month, will give me that feel with additional
practice.
Ok
I admit it, I used to be deathly afraid of the
3-6 foot putt and now, that fear simply does not
exist so one result is that my confidence has
increased significantly. My timing and rhythm
has improved noticeably (again by the guys I play),
when I make a mistake, I know what I did wrong,
and bottom line, I not only think but also feel
that I am a good putter.
Fewer
putts has lowered my over all score which I know
has had the immediate effect of giving me a lot
more confidence in my game as a whole and I know
that will continue to drive my score lower and
lower and fully expect that this training will
drive my average below 90 (from 94) for the first
time this year.
Before,
I had a vague notion that I needed to practice
more and hoped that my score would improve. Now
I know without a doubt that my score will improve
and I know what to practice to drive it even lower.
I have always enjoyed the game of golf, but it
is almost difficult to describe how much more
I enjoy it now which gives me the motivation to
continue working at it until I break 80 and then
to my first par for the course.
Your
program covered ALL aspects of the game that that
alone added to my confidence that I will be a
better putter. It's the total package. Its mental,
physical, and practice which creates feel. I didn't
have to think about, ok I have this problem so
I need to do that. I just trusted you had it all
in there and all I had to do was perform the drills.
I
have seen various books on how to putt better
and most of those describe the problems I should
be looking at like fear, but do not give black
and white and highly detailed things that I can
do to over come those problems.
I do not have to think about my technique which
immediately eliminates one of the largest problems
most people have (worrying about what they are
doing right or wrong).
I
know I am doing it right and if I pick the right
line, I WILL MAKE THE PUTT."

"The
biggest benefit from completing this long game
improvement program has been giving me a plan
I can check with to try to improve with and your
explaining the reasons why a certain drill needs
to be practiced over and over to get it correct.
I also now have a definite setup routine which
is a great way to start the swing.
This
program helped me hit the ball straighter and
more consistently. The best thing I liked about
the program was how well it was organized, the
steady progression of the swing, and the reviews
of the video clips were most helpful.
I
thought most everything about the program was
terrific. I haven't seen anything like this before
and I’ve never been involved in anything like
this and I guess the best thing about it was your
feedback on the videos.
I
am happy I've completed this long game improvement
program and I feel the best thing is that I know
I have a lot more to learn and practice and now
have a game plan of drills to practice. I enjoy
playing golf more after completing this program."

"I'm
much consistent now and have increased confidence
that the ball is going in the direction that I
intend it to!
This
program has reduced my H'cap by 3 shots in winter..changed
my swing....no longer do I get comments that my
club does a figure 8 on my back swing I now have
far more confidence when I step up to the ball,and
when I make a mistake,I know how to correct it!
This
program has helped me to understand the "mechanics"of
the golf swing... cause and effect! I've never
seen anything like this a b c approach...It,s
Great!
I am very pleased that I done your program....I
have a far greater understanding of the mechanics
of the golf swing. My swing has changed and my
confidence in my game has increased 10 fold. I
now enjoy playing golf more now after completing
this program because of the increased confidence
I have gained by your methods ...I enjoy my golf
far more now. No longer, do I stand up behind
the ball, with negative thoughts about my next
tee shot. Nick...Thank you for making a difference
to my game."

"Before
I started this putting improvement program my
putting average per round was 36.8. After completing
the program my putting average is 28.6!
I
now have a set routine I go through before each
putt, even the short ones. This has helped my
confidence in setting up to a putt. I am also
aware of my breathing and am mentally more balanced
over the ball. No more negative thoughts.
My
putting is now not holding back my golf game.
I
have read golf books which have sections on putting
but they only scratch the surface. This program
rebuilds your putting game from scratch plus much
more.
I
am happy I have completed this putting improvement
program. I feel now I have a good understanding
of the mechanics of the putting stroke and can
fall back on it if necessary.
I
enjoy playing golf more now after completing this
putting program because the putting side of my
game is under control. I liked the fact that
you had to forget about everything you had done
in the past and rebuild a new putting game."

"The
log game improvement program has improved my ball
striking consistency as I don't fade or slice
the ball so much and hit it further After completing
this long game program I can now keep my game
"on track" by referring to your lessons without
trying to solve my mistakes myself. I also realise
that I will make mistakes but accept them as part
of the game. I feel more relaxed even if I have
a bad day. I also think that I will improve more
as I get used to my new swing.
The
instructions were easy to understand and follow
although sometimes I found it hard to understand
some instructions but that was mainly due to my
misinterpretation not due to the instructions
but an email soon cleared this up.
This
program has definitely helped me to hit the ball
straighter, more consistently. I do not slice/fade
the ball so much [rarely in fact] .
I
liked this program because it started from the
very beginning and therefore the bad habits I
had were eliminated along the way.
I'm
happy I've completed this long game improvement
program because I now have a complete idea as
to how the swing works....I feel I know enough
about the swing to be able to have a consistent
approach to every golf shot. Also I definitely
enjoy playing golf more now after completing this
program. I'm much more confident about my swing
even though I still hit poor shots I accept these.
I'm more relaxed and do not try cures or fixes
...I go through my preshot routine and hit the
ball. Thanks!"

"I'm
feeling more comfortable with my putter. Also
more relaxed and confident. I'm doing less thinking
when putting. The instructions are explained very
well. I can see the putts going in before I putt.
My
confidence level has skyrocketed. Knowing
I can make the putt and just putt. I believe I
can make every putt I take. I attribute this to
confidence and frame of mind
I
use to worry will I miss this putt. Now I think
about the ball going in the cup I
have felt more relaxed and in tune with my inner
self. Being relaxed while playing golf does wonders
for the game.
My
putting has improved so much. I feel confident
and know that I can make any putt. My stroke no
longer has the yips, it's a nice smooth swing.
I
feel like I can compete with anyone. I an thankful
that you allowed me to be a part of this revolutionary
method of learning to putt the right way. I enjoy
golf 110 % more now. And once on the green I am
king.
Thank
you."

"Before
I started following this long game program I didn’t
(for didn’t read couldn’t) use my driver at all
and hit everything off the tee with my 3 iron.
What I can say is that I can now use my driver
and feel fairly confident that I’m going to hit
the fairway and that I’m much longer off the tee
with both my woods and irons
The
worst score of my last five games (91) is the
same as my best score for the five games I played
when I first started the lessons. What’s more
I regularly score in the 80’s now and know I can
get lower than that with more practice.
I’d
say the biggest benefits of following the long
game program are that I’ve now got a much better
understanding of the mechanics of a sound golf
swing. Now that I understand what I’m looking
for I’ve been able to spot a number of areas in
my swing that I can improve and by following Nick’s
analysis I now feel much more confident about
being able to keep on making improvements.
The
instructions were very easy to understand and
if I there was anything I didn’t fully understand
I could always contact Nick and ask for clarification…
Not that I needed to do this very often as the
instructions were presented very clearly.
Before
starting this course the majority of my bad shots
were slices. Now I very rarely slice the ball.
The only time a slice rears its ugly head is if
I get over aggressive and take a wild slash with
my driver off the tee. This doesn’t mean I don’t
hit bad shots any more but my poorer ball strikes
tend not to be as costly as they used to be….
and there aren’t as many of them.
The
long game program takes you through every aspect
of the swing from the basics of grip, posture
etc. and on to the more difficult to grasp parts
of the swing such as the transition and explains
the entire swing in an easy to digest way. The
program keeps your focus on a small part of the
swing at any one time so you can work on that
particular aspect of the swing in isolation.
I’ve
never seen anything like this before. I’m very
happy that I’ve completed the long game program.
I’d say the best thing about going through the
lessons is that I now feel much more confident
about being able to take my game to the next level.
I still need to keep working on making my swing
better I now have the tools to analyse my own
swing and see where I need to make improvements.
What’s more I’ve been shown the drills and exercises
that I can do to improve those parts of my swing
that I need to keep working on.
Yes
I enjoy playing golf more now. The answer as to
why is easy. I’m now a better golfer!"

"Nick's
Long Game program has definitely improve my ball
striking consistency. Having played golf for only
18 months before starting “the Long game” I received
considerable amount of advice as I was slicing
badly, inconsistency was a hallmark, you grasped
onto lots of theories when starting and I did
not have a base to work from.
Committing
to a path was a relief. I now strike the ball
of the tee cleanly (straight) without topping,
slicing, skying but to name a few that playing
partners on low handicaps are asking me for advice
yet I am on 18 handicap.
There
is still more yet to improve on but I have cemented
a base that I am now repeating the section on
distance and power.
The
biggest benefits after completing this program
are that now off the tee I aim where I want the
ball to go and can trust it being in play. Distance
is generally equal or further to lower handicappers
I play against. Lateral water hazards, out of
bounds are no longer fear factors. I now have
to consider the risk of driving through the fairway
on doglegs. I have got rid of the shanking it
is the most frightening thing to address the ball
not knowing if you are going to hit someone on
the adjoining fairway, the boost in confidence
is immense.
The
instructions are abc, they give you the feeling
which is the most important part in the learning
process. I suffered a bit from not asking Nick
enough advice; one of the critical components
I struggled with was the setup (distance from
the ball) which is almost the first lesson. Not
playing golf for long meant I had limited experience
to call on part way through the course I had to
revisit that aspect as I didn’t say I was struggling
on that aspect. Even though now I can reflect
and see it was well explained sometimes you can
release your own ideas. The best advice is you
must trust the program and commit, you will improve.
When I started I was hitting 5.4 fairways per
round now I am hitting 11 the rest is only in
the first cut or short rough. My personal target
was 10.
After
completing the program I know how to analysis
what I am doing wrong and go back to the lessons
to check what I am meant to do. Having the material
to continually refer back to is huge
I
have made large investments into books, magazines,
the drills are the key. I have not seen most of
the drills in ‘the long game’ in any of the literature.
I am extremely happy that I have completed this
long game improvement program as I have a complete
picture and can categorically say the plan delivers
a complete program to achieve consistency and
a low handicap.
It comes down to how much you commit to the program.
I am repeating the course as it is now summer
and daylight saving and I want to repeat parts
and commit more time as I believe single figure
handicap is achievable. 18 was my target but now
I have a path to get to single figures and know
I can get there and not too far away either.
Saying
I enjoy playing golf more now after completing
this program is the understatement of the year.
I I was about at the point of giving golf away.
I have played a large number of sports to a very
competitive level. I found golf to be the most
frustrating sport I have ever played. I started
by getting coaching lessons with an aim to reducing
the startup grief but it was a roller coaster
ride and even though I put considerable amount
of time in practicing I was not getting the rewards.
The
commitment in time vs the improvement was not
looking good. Luckily ‘the long game’ came along
and gave me renewed hope, at the start there was
improvements but there are still ups and downs
due to the changes you are making and you haven’t
the whole picture. But it is all logical and you
just have to stay committed, lean on Nick if you
struggling (my mistake) and commit."

"Since
starting this program my putting has improved
by 14.4 putts per round.
Before
starting this program I averaged 42.4 putts per
round. Now I average 28 putts per round!
Everything about my putting game has improved,
starting from my position over the ball, confidence,
putter alignment, rhythm, and speed control. My
whole attitude has changed when it come to the
putting game.
What
you've explained and demonstrated in this program,
are the things I've struggled with for a long
time and you have a way of making the hard easy.
I've
paid a lot of money on lessons and books but no
one has explained it this way. I understand now
about ball position, grip, posture and confidence.
The
biggest benefits for me are lower scores per round,
I played golf for 8 years and I have never been
under par until now.
I
have read articles and books on how to improve
your putting and I also paid for putting lesson,
and what I have learned from this putting program
I have never seen been taught anything like this.
The simple instruction, photo and demonstration
make it difference from any other.
I
am happy that my putting game has improved a great
deal, and that I have not wasted my time on something
that doesn't work."

"Before
this program I was just hoping for the best as
never real sure where my ball would end up. Now,
I can predict if not wish where my ball will end
up, more often. You have turned me into a confident
golfer, as witnessed by my friends. They marvel
at my course management and the ability to execute
as planned. Instead of just belting the ball with
my driver, I now use almost all clubs to their
best advantage, and know when to lay up and when
to go for it.
To
explain such complex moves as a golf swing using
words and pictures is a very challenging task,
but somehow you have managed to convey your instructions
successfully. Especially where you use movies
and simple gadgets for the training exercises,
that is the most valuable part. I do not need
to purchase expensive training equipment or video
or DVDs to receive instructions from you.
The
lessons are presented in a logical and easy to
follow fashion.
The
program has helped me to hit the ball better.
Previously, although I can hit the ball straight
most of the time, the distance is limited. If
I tried to get more distance, it would almost
curve to the right. Now, not only can I gain more
distance and end up on the middle of fairway,
I can shape my drives and shots, as you have explained
how my club/shaft would behave at impact, and
the effect on ball flight. You have corrected
my notion of how the club should come from the
inside to impact, whereas previously I would takeaway
sharply to the inside so as to have the club come
back from the inside, etc. Such wrong notions
were explained and proven to me using videos of
my own swing.
Now
with my new found or acquired ability, I sometimes
deliberately use something different just to test
my ability to shape shots, so my shots may not
always be straight, but always successful to some
degree the way I wanted it to be so.
You
have also explained away some of the myths or
misconceptions of the golf swing, like keep your
head down, return to the same position as setup,
cock your wrist, keep your arms straight, but
most of all, the correct attitude towards golf
and the real secret of playing well.
I
haven't seen anything like this, especially on
such a personalised level. Most instructions I
find on the internet are generalised, and I never
know if I have executed them correctly. This program
is all inter-related, and it gives a firm basis
for me to make my swing repeatable, or in other
words consistent.
I am most happy with this long game improvement
program as it is just about the 3 things - consistently
hit the fairways, make greens in regulation, and
better distances. Very often, my friends on the
course would find me say especially after a "good"
shot: "Thank you, Nick Bayley." Like you said,
the long game is the beginning shot of every hole,
and when successful, would give so much pleasure
and generate great confidence for the next shot,
and so throughout the game.
I
just can't wait to start the next game. With me
not getting younger and golf skills not getting
better, this program is the best thing that has
happened to me. Although only on the long game
program, and not completing the other skill systems,
my handicap is the lowest I have ever achieved,
despite my advancing age. I have won at my local
competitions, something that has not happened
for a long time. While the admiration of my friends
are important, but most of all, this program has
given me the freedom to enjoy the game, of shaping
my shots at will, instead of just wondering or
hoping that the ball would fly forward somehow.
Like
I mentioned before, I wish I had known you 10
years ago. A big hearty Thank You to you again,
Nick. Thank you for letting me know the secrets
of hitting the ball."

"The
putting improvement program is easy to understand.
Your explanation of the set-up has revealed to
me a better posture, a way to achieve more consistency
with the set-up, and how to relax. I can see the
importance of each of these components of your
program.
I
am developing a very positive attitude about putting
and my putter.
My
set up is much more consistent. I have developed
a good pre-shot routine. I have much more confidence
and feel more relaxed. I know how to put my eyes
over the ball, now.
I
feel much more confident about putting and look
forward to it. I attribute this to the repetition
of positive statements and believing in my pre-shot
routine and set up.
My
routine is more consistent and methodical. I have
more confidence that I can make a consistent stroke.
I sink 4-8 foot putts with much more regularity.
This program is much more detailed and practical.
It breaks down the routines and skills of putting
in such a way that I can remember them and have
built new habits in place of old habits that were
not successful in the past.
Sinking
short putts is the secret to improving my score.
I still have trouble with hitting 50 foot putts
close, but I feel very confident that I will sink
every 4-8 foot putt. That is like a miracle!
These
instructions were easy to understand because of
the pictures and detail of directions. I think
that this program is far easier to follow than
any others. Nothing compares!"
|
"With
Nick's Long Game Improvement Program my ball striking
consistency has improved. My swing is much smoother
and I rarely hit shots fat. I am hitting the ball
very straight.
After
completing this program I am striking the ball
far better than I was and as a consequence of
that I am scoring more consistently. I understand
what is going on in my swing much better.
Before
starting with the program I pulled a lot of shots
and faded others. I am now not coming over
the top and I feel my swing is much better than
it was. I am very accurate and rarely in trouble.
I
liked the disciplined approach and some of the
drills were very innovative and excellent. Haven’t
seen anything like this before. It is different
because it is personal and you can work at your
own pace. I liked the idea of trying to groove
each aspect before going on, and in the past instruction
has always seemed to be on the complete swing
when I really only had the ability to concentrate
on one aspect at a time.
I
am happy to have completed the program. I now
have a really solid base to work on. I enjoy the
much better ball striking that I am achieving
and the better results. Thanks Nick."

P.S.
When John started following the Long Game Improvement
Program last year his handicap was 14.3. And I've
just checked now and his handicap is 9.9 which I know
is his lowest ever because just before Christmas John
sent me this email:

Not
too bad for a 68 year old!

"The
instructions were easy to follow. The pictures
made the procedures clear. By repeating the procedures
over and over they become ingrained and comfortable
with the result on the course you don't have to
think about them.
When
I set up over the putt I feel confident that I
have the proper grip, set up and ball position.
This frees my mind to think about line and distance
without the apprehension my grip or ball position
is wrong.
The
written instructions backed up with pictures and
video make the procedures clear and easily understood.
By
repeating the tasks over and over I know what
I am going to do on the green and do it the same
each time. I do not try something different every
time I miss a putt.
I
haven't had more than 36 putts in a round. Before
I would get 38-42 putts in a round. A
20 foot putt used to be an automatic 3 putt in
my mind. Now I feel I can get down in 2 or less.
I now set up and putt faster because I don't do
it different each time.
The
details you provide leave no doubt as how to proceed.
Before this putting improvement program I would
have a round about every 10 where I would have
40 or more putts. For more than 30 rounds my highest
is 35. This
has made golf less stressful and more enjoyable.
I do enjoy playing more as I do not have the embarrassment
of 40 - 42 putts with 7 or more 3 putts in a round."

"The
instructions are very clear. I like the way you
have broken down the instructions into easy step
by step activities. The photos were clear, but
the summaries, e.g. on the grip, were a nice addition,
allowing the message to be reviewed. The daily
checklist was great, it gave a structure to the
program and an easy way to follow.
I
like the idea of the grip and that the club is
always held at the same place. I like the routine
to make it a process than a worry about making
the putt. I liked the easy to follow instructions.
I liked the fact that I now have my own putting
station at home and one that I understand!
Mentally,
I have never been afraid of putting, I always
enjoy it, But I have been tentative with my putting
especially when I have been trying to break a
personal low score. Now, I am simply confident
on all 18 holes. That feeling of confidence gives
me a boost. In my last round of 31, I didn't think
I was putting any better than normal, but when
I added up the putts, it was 'wow' I shot 31 putts
and it could so easily have been 28!
Any
putt within about 8-9 feet, I really do feel that
I can make it. In fact, mentally if I am in that
range, I am thinking that I will make it. Before,
I used to think about leaving a tap-in, now I
think I can hole it out. This is purely based
on knowing that I have a solid set up, I can pick
a good line and I can get the ball rolling. If
I get these things done, then I know that the
putt is good and I'm less concerned if it didn't
go in, but I do think that I can nail it.
The
biggest benefits of completing this program are
a)
I have a 'system', a putting station, a feedback
mechanism
b)
I have a mental strategy
c)
I have a way to mentally work on the putting
Although
the course is now complete, I feel I am only beginning
and with more time I can only get better. I feel
I have a great system, a feedback process and
I feel that I can get into the 20's!
I'm more confident in my putting, even if I miss
a practice, I feel like it didn't impact me because
in between I was able to spend some time practicing
mentally. Every round I play I feel that I can
break 30 putts, this alleviates the need to hit
it close to the pin and play safer shots into
the green.
The
bottom line is the number of putts per round,
I've seen a consistent drop here. I'm not into
the 20's yet, but I believe I will be. I've had
several 30 putt rounds, and all of these had lip
outs! So I know it's possible and within reach.
I have a strategy for the putting part of the
game and that creates confidence."

feel much more comfortable with the shorter putter
and the shoulder-driven style; the routine takes
some pressure off for critical putts, and I have
more trust in my action - I am always changing
my styles of swinging and putting, thinking and
analysing a lot, so this is a new feeling. Above
all, I enjoy putting more now.
I
like the structured approach, and the idea that
I am doing something to improve, rather than just
hitting balls at a hole.
Increased
confidence that I am becoming more consistent.
Yes
definitely I have more confidence now. I know
that I am swinging the way that is most likely
to achieve good results. There is less variation
in set-up and putting action during a round -
and I don't experiment with different styles between
rounds.
I
believe I can hole every putt now. I am even a
bit surprised when putts don't go in. It is a
combination of having a better stroke, knowing
I have a better stroke, seeing more putts going
in, and of course the affirmations.
I've
never seen anything like this before as you put
together a complete program of work, not just
a few practice routines and a mental exercise
or two. The biggest benefits of completing this
putting program are that I have more confidence,
more consistent stroke, no desire to change style
every week. Better scoring, noticeably better
long putting."

"The
instructions are very straightforward and easy
to understand and follow. I am more confident
in my putting stroke. Without question I am sinking
many, many more 5-10 footers.
My
putting has become much more "automatic". Much
less paralyzed by thoughts, therefore my stroke
is much smoother and reproducible. I really feel
that I am hitting the putts the way I want to.
Attitude
and confidence has definitely improved- because,
I now know that my stroke is going be the same
from putt to putt.
My
putting has definitely improved. I have the same
routine for each putt eliminating all the doubt
and hesitation that used to creep into my putting.
My stroke is reproducible and consistent and online
much more often.
I
haven't seen anything like it before. I think
the detailed explanation of the logic behind everything
is unique, and the repetition that makes the stroke
second nature is also critical to the program.
I'm
very happy to have completed the putting improvement
program. I am a much more confident putter and
it has helped me to lower my scores.
I
enjoy golf as much as ever- but I really enjoy
pulling my putter out of the bag a great deal
more than in the past. My distance control has
improved the most in the last 30 days I feel much
better about my distance control, and, as you
know that is vital to reducing the number of 3
putt greens. Overall, just alot more comfortable
on the greens.
I
think you have a great program. Obviously very
well thought out, and one that has definitely
improved my putting. It's changed my putting and
my experience on greens in a positive and permanent
way. Thank you! Best wishes always, Brad"

"The
instructions are very easy to understand and follow.
Great diagrams and step by step instructions on
getting the information you wanted. Improvement
has been seen. Making longer putts more consistently.
I
like the beginning the detailed instructions.
Combining the mental game with the physical. I
now have a feeling of confidence and knowing the
routine. Also, greater consistency.
I appreciated the different things to work on
- variety.
I
am happy I have completed this program because
it has made me focus on practicing what is needed
to make e a better putter. Very detailed instructions
and organization.
Great
program - thanks so much for the opportunity to
help me improve my putting. Thanks Nick!"

"The
instructions in this putting improvement program
are easy to understand and follow as the photos
along with the text make it very easy to imitate
the suggested actions.
When
I started this program it felt strange at first
as it was new and different. But after days of
repetition it feels more normal and confidence
in the program is increased after getting more
consistently good results.
I
like having a detailed program to follow as it
provides a consistent setup. A more confident
putting stroke and mindset are the big improvements.
Better
results have improved my confidence. Also, I am
more consistent now. More putts are staying on
line and I don't feel so fearful now when making
putts.
The
biggest benefits of completing this program have
been improved confidence and a routine to follow.
I have less fear when putting now so that is a
big plus. A better sense for distance and fewer
3 putts. It's great to have many different drills
to practice.
And
I most liked the diversity of the program ; mechanics,
drills and mental training. Since starting the
program I'm more relaxed and have a better feel
for distance."

"I
am way more confident and relaxed...more sure
of myself. I can definitely see improvement in
my putting...especially on short putts. I used
to miss a lot of short putts and would always
be nervous when putting them...asking and telling
my self...you are probably going to miss this
one...I have stopped doing that and replaced it
with...this is going in the hole...and it works
great...still dont make them all but doing much
better.
My
putting attitude and confidence has increased
A LOT...the words that I say to myself .has helped
tremendously. When I used to miss an easy putt
or 3 putted a green I used to call myself stupid
and dwell on it. Now I forget about it and continue
to praise myself as a good putter.
I
feel more confident when I say and do the same
things on every putt. I can go through the exact
same thoughts and actions on each putt and be
confident that I will get good results.
I
feel like all of this is making a world of difference
in my putting and my confidence in being a good
putter. I truly believe in myself now and also
believe that I am going to get even better.
It
is so much more enjoyable standing over a 4 foot
putt knowing with all that I believe that the
putt is going in the hole...rather than fearing
of lipping it out. I am enjoying all of this and
looking forward to more work and becoming an even
better putter than I am today...thanks
I no longer am haphazardly sloshing my way around
the green and through poor putts. I now have a
program and stick with it which helps me to repeatedly
stoke good puts with confidence and with the expectation
of good results.
Its
funny how now I watch other people putting all
the time and can see a ll the mistakes they are
making...it is almost comical what I see now...from
their lack of routine...to poor setup to terrible
strokes...big back swings and no follow throughs.
The mechanical drills help tremendously to set
the tempo...length...and smoothness of my putting
stroke...but these other people...wow...they need
help
I
cant begin to thank you enough for the help this
has made in my putting...people at the golf course
are constantly saying to me...great putt...I used
to have a lot of fear of missing short putts...more
so than not getting a long one close. That fear
is gone and has been replaced with confidence
in my stroke and my putts...my whole game has
gotten better
I
used to stand over 3 footers and even 2 footers
and worry myself to death that I would miss them.
I also used to 3 putt at least 2 or 3 or 4 times
a round. Now I stand over those little puts secure
in the knowledge that they are "in the hole" and
that is where they usually end up. Its amazing
what a good routine and plenty of confidence and
a good repeating stoke can do for you. Not only
am I confident on short putts but I truly feel
I can sink any putt on the green. I have been
sinking a lot of mid range putts...10-15 feet...and
am consistently putting the long ones close. My
ranger buddies at the course where I work...as
a ranger...keep asking me how I started putting
so good. I told them I work hard at it...lol...its
the putting improvement program.
I
now believe I can truly sink every putt.
I
haven't seen anything like this...basically I
would just pick up little things by reading books
by Tiger and Harvey Pinnick. I would try them
for a while but always resort back to old habits.
Basically I had no idea what I was doing...kind
of just unhappily plugging along. This program
was different in the fact that it went so far
into detail...not just one detail either...all
the facets of putting. From building confidence
by learning to love my putter...to building a
routine...to trusting and grooving my stroke...to
being psychologically ready...to completely understanding
all the facets of putting. Its different because
you took the time and effort to do all the research
and then import all of that into a COMPLETE putting
improvement program...one that I can depend on
for the rest of my life. Its almost comical to
me now as I watch other people putt and all the
mistakes that they make. Working as a Ranger I
see a lot of putts and spend a lot of time chuckling
down the path...lol...maybe I should quit laughing...as
that once was me...and try to help these lost
souls.
I
cant wait to get to the course. Its a lot more
fun playing golf and putting when you know that
you are doing it correctly and to the best of
your abilities. Its always more fun doing something
when you are good at it and believe in yourself.
I love to look at the faces of my golfing buddies
and the shaking of their heads after sinking a
long birdie putt. Its a great feeling to sink
a long putt, a short downhill 3 foot breaker,
a long downhill double breaker, all of them. I
suppose the best thing I could do and the most
happiness I would get would be from getting a
hole in one...I never have but came within 6 inches
the other day. Putting that aside my favorite
thing to do in golf is to sink a long...long...putt.
I love it!
Since
starting the program I have probably ran in about
5 of them...thanks. What I hate more than anything
in golf is 3 putting. I would rather hit it out
of bounds or chunk one in the lake. I still 3
putt a green now and then...hey Tiger did it 3
times 2 weeks ago and still won...but they are
getting fewer and fewer which makes me happier
and happier every day."

"The
practical side of the instructions is very logical.
The improvement has been noticed by my playing
buddies.
It
teaches a logical sequence that is easy to replicate
continuously. This can only improve consistency.
The
results are significant. The consistent setup
and stroke is making a big difference and my confidence
is greatly improved.
I
have sunk a lot of difficult (for me) putts. Two
to three metre putts were my difficult lengths.
I am consistently sinking putts now, where I used
to only "get close" before.
Longer
putts are consistently closer than before.
My
confidence has certainly vastly improved. My attitude
has changed, in that I now realise that putting
accounts for a very large proportion of the number
of strokes taken in a round, and the importance
of this aspect of the game has become much more
of a feature in my approach to the game.
Putting
used to be "ho-hum", insignificant, just something
to "finish the hole", not that important. Not
so at all! The putting aspect of the game is a
whole game in itself, and is a challenging competition
in its own right. The disciplined approach can
make a great contribution in saving strokes
My
confidence is very high. The process has become
automatic and I am sinking a lot of putts that
I would only have expected to get close before.
The recording of the number of putts per round
is not always a good indication of putting ability
because I have found recently that I seem to get
more long putts than usual. My handicap has come
down from 20 in August to 17.9 today. A lot of
this is due to improved putting.
This
program has made me very much more aware of the
importance of putting, and has removed the "hit
and hope" aspect of putting. It has given me the
confidence to putt, knowing that I have a good
chance of sinking putts that I used to be happy
to "get close".
I
am most grateful to you for your tremendous assistance
to my game."

"I
hit a higher percentage of putts solidly and rarely
three-putt. A lot more putts have a chance to
go in. My putting attitude and confidence has
been better due to better contact, hence better
distance control and fewer three-putts. I also
am able to putt more confidently throughout the
round and I am not as influenced by what happens
on the first few holes.
I
do not think much about putting mechanics now.
I'm happy with the stroke itself. I still sometimes
move or come out of the stroke early on-course.
I have had a lot of success overcoming this (and
related head movement) by focusing on keeping
my lower body from the waist down completely still.
I am able to do this much more consistently this
way rather than thinking about not moving my head.
The result is both lower body and head are steady.
The
most important improvement is in attitude. I just
feel that I will make more putts. Undoubtedly
this is a result of improved mechanics, the drills
etc. but that is not how I now think about it
when I play. This is in marked contrast to the
program during the second month when I felt I
was taking too much of the mechanics of the program
to the course with unsatisfactory scoring results.
Biggest
benefit: I'm much more positive about approaching
the challenge of putting on every green. I have
moved from putting "defensively" to feeling neutral
and on really good days "offensive." I hope to
have the "offensive" putting days become the norm,
so that putting is a scoring weapon most of the
time rather than something that detracts from
good ball-striking.
Feeling
good about putting -- relishing the opportunity
once the ball is on the green."
