Dave Stockton is hotter than ever. The 2011 U.S. Open winner, Rory McIlroy, studied with the renowned instructor and two-time former PGA champion, and credits Stockton’s teachings as the reason behind his own putting success. In Unconscious Putting , Stockton introduced amateur players to the techniques, strategies, and mental processes he uses to help tour players find so much success on the green. Now, Unconscious Scoring completes Stockton’s short-game education by teaching readers how to make the most of shots around the green—the best place to achieve lower scores. Simplicity is the key to Stockton’s remarkable instruction success, and he breaks down the short game into two components—low shots and high shots—explaining both the technique and the context of how and when the shots should be used. Besides McIlroy, Stockton has worked with champions such as Phil Mickelson, Yani Tseng (the number-one ranked woman in the world), and Annika Sorenstam. In Unconscious Scoring , Stockton illustrates his principles with examples from his week-to-week sessions with these and many more of the game’s top players. Including black-and-white and color photos and instructional video tags, Unconscious Scoring reveals the simple processes and transformative insights that every player—whatever his or her handicap—yearns to master. Review: This book is more conscious than the author claims. - This is a companion to Dave's first book, Unconscious Putting. In both he claims better golf occurs when you stop thinking about mechanics. That may be true for the golf professional but is often no farther from the truth for the amateur. Fortunately for the amateur and even the struggling professional, Stockton abandons his unconscious philosophy in the second book. He says one thing and then does the other. He presents an excellent simplified approach to getting up and down with only two basic shots, a low shot and a high shot. In other words, a chip and a pitch. He then describes a very precise and mechanical method of stance, grip, set-up and pre-shot routine. He directs all golfers, regardless of eye or hand dominance to "push back" for the low shot with the flat left wrist and to "pull back" for the higher pitch shot or bunker with the cocked right wrist. Nuances of loft, lie, and ball position bring into play additional creativity in determining how far, how high, etc.. So I tried it and I liked it. I like this approach precisely because it offers you a consistent "mechanical" approach to the short game even though the author denies being mechanical. The problem I see as an expert in neuromuscular physiology (medical and graduate degrees in biophysics) is that the amateur does not have enough motor experience to just look at a shot and "see it" in his or her mind's eye and then pull the trigger. The same with putting. If you do not have consistent stroke mechanics, no amount of pretending to feel the stroke or see the line is going to make you a better putter or a better chipper. The beauty of his chipping method, ie the low shot, is that you can use the exact same setup every time, vary the loft of the club and the length of the back swing, and as long as you put in some practice, become reasonably proficient in a short period of time. The high shot will take more time because there is more movement and more timing to get a proper release or throwing of the club under the ball, exactly what your instructors do not want you to do in the full swing where this action adds loft and opens the face to create a weak high or low bladed shot. That being said, thank you Dave for taking another 1-2 strokes off my last five rounds here at TPC Champions in Scottsdale. This course provides a perfect layout for both types of short game shots and I found the instruction so easy to understand and apply that the benefit was immediate. Your response may be contingent on your current handicap or time available to practice. This book will be well worth your time and effort. In the interest of full disclosure, my handicap is zero. I had so much fun with this I started missing greens on purpose playing 2-4 balls per hole in order to work on his techniques, an amazing confidence builder. Thank you Dave! Review: Technical Content Stellar - The content of this book is incredible. Stockton gives very simple and effective approaches to various short game shots. In fact, it is the best short game book, in terms of content, I have read. (I have most prominent books on the short game). If you buy this book and implement his instruction you will receive very fast results. My only criticism of the book was the organization of the photos versus the text, which seemed awkward at times. However, this is minor and the technical content overwhelmed this concern. Congratulations to Mr. Stockton for a very good book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #305,688 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #206 in Sports Reference (Books) #401 in Golf (Books) #428 in Sports Training (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 334 Reviews | ## Images ![Unconscious Scoring: Dave Stockton's Guide to Saving Shots Around the Green - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YYLhfx0-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is more conscious than the author claims. *by D***H on September 28, 2012* This is a companion to Dave's first book, Unconscious Putting. In both he claims better golf occurs when you stop thinking about mechanics. That may be true for the golf professional but is often no farther from the truth for the amateur.

In fact, it is the best short game book, in terms of content, I have read. (I have most prominent books on the short game).

Congratulations to Mr. Stockton for a very good book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent short game book with some omissions *by S***G on December 29, 2016* The thing that proved useful to me in this book was the way shots around the green are categorized and then explained. Found the basic bunker shot explanation and execution the best in terms of developing consistency. This has been a problem area and I've tried a lot of methods - club pro instruction, Gary Player's youtube video, Golf Digest tips etc. The Stockton method has by far been the simplest and best for me. He also tells you why. I would buy this book solely for the bunker lesson. Additionally this book helped reinforce the chip shot (low shot) and pitch shot (high shot) fundamentals and most trouble shots. On another note I've found Sieckmann's Putting book comprehensive for that topic. Not so much this one. Why the 4 stars? He shows a picture of all lies in a bunker - good lie, fried-egg and buried and in the text says he will cover the last two mentioned lies in Trouble Shots and never does (I've reread this thrice and cant find it). Plus would have been good if the sidehill lies were covered in Trouble shots - not just uphill and downhill. In short whats covered is well explained, is conducive to self-learning and transferable to the course. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5410448-unconscious-scoring-dave-stocktons-guide-to-saving-shots-around-green](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5410448-unconscious-scoring-dave-stocktons-guide-to-saving-shots-around-green) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
