\"Unconscious_Scoring_Cover\"<\/a>Short-game luminary Dave Stockton has burnished his reputation by working with the likes of Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Annika Sorenstam, and many others. Stockton\u2019s three books — Unconscious Putting<\/em>, Unconscious Scoring<\/em><\/a>, and Own Your Game, <\/em>all written with Matthew Rudy, are also available to help golfers whose career earnings are measured in beer and three figures or less, rather than millions.<\/p>\n

But next month, and again in April, the Dave Stockton Experience will visit Four Seasons Resort Orlando, where non-pros will get the same face-to-face treatment as the game\u2019s stars. The basic program includes two days of all-morning clinics focused on putting, chipping, and pitching. Stockton will lead the instruction the first day, while Rod Cook, long-time friend of the maestro and director of instruction at the resort, takes over the second day.<\/p>\n

Two installments of the Experience are currently scheduled, the first March 19-21, which happens to overlap with Arnold Palmer\u2019s invitational at Bay Hill, the second April 23-25.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has read Stockton\u2019s instructional books already appreciates the appeal of his approach: To paraphrase, in our Big Data era, less is more, overthinking is a bigger problem than underthinking. Even the average length of the books \u2013 about 125 pages \u2013 seems conducive to the maestro\u2019s intuitive modus operandi. <\/em><\/p>\n

Admittedly, you could use game improvement as a thinly disguised subterfuge to stay at the Four Seasons, opened last year. The program includes afternoon rounds at Tranquilo Golf Club<\/a>, the resort\u2019s course formerly known at Osprey Ridge. It\u2019s a really fun layout, with pleasingly familiar Tom Fazio touches, like wider-than-apparent landing areas. It\u2019s also \u201chilly\u201d for a Florida property.<\/p>\n

The itinerary includes all meals, most notably multi-course dinners at Capa and Ravello, the resort\u2019s upscale restaurants.<\/p>\n

And while the resort is certainly convenient to the Magic Kingdom \u2013 full name: Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort \u2013 you\u2019re never aware of the proximity.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019d expect, even if you don\u2019t have to be a millionaire to enjoy the Dave Stockton Experience, you do need some coin, roughly $10K per couple. More information: 1 800 267 1067.<\/p>\n
