The Tournament Golfer's Playbook: Change your mind, Change your life: The Path of the Tournament Golfer
"Most books written about golf are either by famous golfers or famous mental coaches. I am neither. I am, however, a Tournament Golfer." —Mike Booker
For over 50 years, Mike has competed against and alongside some of the most accomplished Tournament Golfers including Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, and Arnold Palmer. Through practice and observation, he came to recognize that certain common traits define the Tournament Golfer mindset. He didn’t invent them; he just put them all together in one place.
He has written principally for the Golfer-Who-Plays-Tournaments who wants to become a Tournament Golfer and for the Tournament Golfer who wants to win more tournaments. This book is for those who wish to compete. But if competition is not your goal, you will find the “Life Hacks” at the ends of the chapters to be valuable to you on and off the golf course.
"Any meaningful accomplishment I have experienced in my business as a successful financial advisor, or in my personal life, can be traced back to my experiences on the golf course and what I learned there about myself and others. What I have learned, I share with you."

I’m not sure there was anything in this book that was groundbreaking or something I didn’t already know about competing. But it was an interesting read.

There is some helpful information in this book, but it’s worth pointing out that the author achieved most of his success after going down multiple levels in competition. Not really surprising that a former PGA Tour golfer did well in Texas amateur golf. Still worth a read because it’s quick and there are some nuggets in there, but skill is still the most important thing to bring to tournament golf.
