Golfers will love this book

[Michele · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a wonderful book and an absolute must-read for golfers at any level - the keen insights include perspectives and ideas that are helpful reminders for all. Each brief tip is presented on its own page, and each tip is valuable. I've tried to absorb one or two each day. If only that were truly possible - I would surely be a scratch golfer! Now that I've completed the book, my plan is to go back to Tip #1 and begin all over again. I anticipate that this is a book I will be reading and re-reading in perpetuity!

This is not only a great checklist on the mental game, but a great set of reminders for one to use during setup. The book contains several useful swing thoughts for every facet of the game. It suggests a new set of things to focus on when setting up. Each tip hones in on the essential factor that either necessitates or prevents a successful shot, especially when one's mechanics are sound.

I would not recommend this book. After reading a couple of Dr. Bob Rotella golf books I thought this might be a good read, but it does not stand up to Rotella standard in terms of understanding the Mental part of the golf game.

Great reading for anyone that wants to improve their golf game and the illustrations are very cool.
