I was really disappointed in this one. I was expecting something original and insightful. Instead of revealing some kind of insider knowledge, it was just a re-hash of the basics- stance, grip, stroke, reading greens, equipment, practicing, etc. No different than what you'll find in any basic instruction on putting, and not nearly as comprehensive or intelligent as Dave Stockton's book. In fact, you can get through it about an hour.

The only interesting part was the introduction, which gave a brief biographical account of George Low. His life seems to have been a lot more novel than this book is.

The late, great George Low, putter extrordinare, is no longer with us, but his incomparable guide to putting remains as his legacy to all adherents to the adage "Drive for show, putt for dough !".

Low's statement, "I never owned an overcoat", characterizes the man and the legend. As a personal adviser to Palmer, Nicklaus, and countless others, his personal contribution to the winning of many of golf's major championships cannot be estimated, only appreciated.

An extremely interesting book from one of golf's greats, a true American original ! Don't read if you're not interested in improving your scoring !
