When I sat down to write One Putt Secrets, I didn’t envision it as just another golf book. It was meant to be a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to putting. I’d been where so many golfers are – frustrated, overthinking every putt, trying every trick in the book, only to end up in the same place. My head was cluttered with too much information, advice, hints and tips. So, I set out to strip all that away and focus on the essentials, the things that actually make a difference for golfers like me. And that’s where One Putt Secrets comes from – a desire to make putting simpler, more enjoyable, and above all, effective.

For me, it wasn’t just about lowering my scores though, that was a huge motivator. But I wanted to help others walk onto the green feeling confident. I’d spent years chasing improvements that never seemed to stick, feeling like my potential was always just out of reach. It wasn’t until I started focusing on a few core "pillars" – the ones I share in the book – that my putting actually started to change. And not just on the scorecard. I started to feel calmer, more in control, and I realised that putting was the essential piece.

One of the biggest changes came from the idea of “keeping things simple.” As golfers we all make golf and putting this elaborate ordeal, filled with precise angles and calculations that often leave us  second-guessing ourselves. But once I adopted a few of the One Putt Secrets, I learned to trust my instincts more and focus on feeling instead of overthinking combined with clear simple actions.

For anyone who loves golf, this book isn’t just about saving strokes. It’s about rediscovering that thrill, that simple joy of standing over a putt and knowing, that you’ve got this more often than not. Writing One Putt Secrets is my way of sharing what truly worked for me and my putting, in the hopes that others could feel that same connection with their putting. Because in the end, isn’t that what it’s all about?
