See It and Sink It: Mastering Putting Through Peak Visual Peformance

Dr. Craig L. Farnsworth, an optometrist and nationally recognized putting consultant to Nick Faldo, Tom Kite, Steve Elkington, Mark Wiebe and other top tour players,reveals the secrets of his unique, highly successful system.

Farnsworth believes that missed putts are more often caused by visual misperceptions than by faulty stroke mechanics. This invaluable, easy-to-follow guide shows golfers how to alter their visual perceptions by "rewiring" their eye-brain reality -- helping them to understand how to see and to establish accuracy of what is seen. See It and Sink It  presents Farnsworth's winning method, which is based on the fact that in order to excel, one must develop accurate and enduring visual performance skills, such as eye-hand coordination, target localization, accuracy of visualization, space matching, visual discrimination and concentration. These are the essential basics to be able to align properly, judge distance and speed and to read the green. Step-by-step exercises are provided so readers can easily adapt the "Farnsworth System" -- the same system that helped Nick Faldo to win the 1996 Master's Tournament -- to master their own putting.

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.

Poor VisionMar 04, 2001
Farnsworth's "U-factor" and "circuitry rewriting" imitate pseudoscience. Pelz's books are much more scientific and his claims are based upon much more reliable data. Farnsworth claims that the eyes are the dominant sensory system and somehow control the body and mind, none of which are substantiated.

Another good putting book is Todd Sones's Lights Out Putting. It is well written and easier to get through than one of Pelz's books, but Pelz designed his books for the serious student who wants a good reference book.

Excellent book.Dec 15, 1999
I think this book's illustrations could be better, but it is definitely in my top-10 golf book collection. A great companion to Pelz's books.

A Master StrokeOct 04, 1999
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.
