Two mismatched golfing buddies--Don, a gambler and victim of brittle bone disease, with one short leg; Michael, a writer who is agonizing over a broken marriage and a smashed love affair--embark on a two-week adventure to play the historic links of Scotland. Lloyd James breathes a pulsating vibrancy into Michael's telling of the passions of golf, as well as moments of inspiration and soul-searching, and a growing and deep friendship.

The proven approach that guarantees results on the green by tapping the power of natural intuition— based on cutting-edge research. Born out of the most popular Golf Magazine cover story of 2005, Instinct Putting begins with a crucial but counterintuitive premise: You should look at the hole, not at the ball, while putting.
