The Putting Prescription: Doctor-Designed Method for a Better Stroke

Discover The Putting Prescription, a guide from Dr. Craig L. Farnsworth, a clinician who blends golf science with on-course insight. The doctor is on the golf course, bringing practical methods that have helped more than 125 Tour pros elevate their putting under pressure. This book references techniques associated with champions such as Nick Faldo, Annika Sörenstam, and Bernhard Langer, offering a clear, actionable path to better feel, alignment, and rhythm on the greens.

What makes The Putting Prescription unique

Rather than a one-size-fits-all tip sheet, this book presents a cohesive system designed to address common putting issues. You’ll find a focus on clean setup, relaxed grip, and a repeatable stroke that translates from practice green to the scoring greens. The approach combines visual cues, physical checks, and simple habits you can carry through every round.

• A repeatable setup and grip to reduce inconsistency and improve touch
• Clear cues and a routine to ease tension, especially when nerves rise
• Insights drawn from tour-level practice and competition to inform practical drills
• On-course applications that help you transfer practice to rounds with more confidence

Practical drills you can try

• Warm up with a consistent stance and posture before every putt
• Use tempo cues to synchronize backswing and forward stroke for smoother rhythm
• Perform quick alignment checks to ensure your face and path are guiding the ball
• Practice with light grip tension to preserve feel and touch on the greens

Whether you’re correcting a sloppy setup, addressing a tight grip, or battling the yips, The Putting Prescription offers structured drills and mental cues you can apply on the practice green and in rounds. The material emphasizes practical, repeatable steps rather than quick fixes, encouraging players to adopt habits that may yield steadier strokes over time.

How to use this book in your routine

Begin with the fundamentals: align, posture, and grip holds, then build into a sequence of drills that reinforce a confident pre-putt routine. The method invites you to observe your tendencies, adjust deliberately, and track small gains in consistency. While outcomes vary by player, many readers report a more controlled pace, clearer aim, and a smoother transition from setup to stroke.

If you value insights from established pros and want a practical framework you can practice and apply, The Putting Prescription presents a credible, football-field-to-green path toward better touch on the greens. It’s a resource designed to empower you to experiment with techniques that may suit your own style and course conditions.
