Golf is Not a Game Of Perfect

Rating:
Summary: Tournament Tough
Review: This book provides incredible insight into the game of golf. Rather than attempting to teach the infamous "perfect swing," Dr. Rotella allows the reader to maintain his current swing and instead he addresses the mental side to lower scores. Whether you are a beginner or carry a low handicap, this book is sure to knock strokes off. This book enables a player to think correctly on the course and develop confidence in his game. It is easy and fun to read since Rotella recalls past memories that support his point. I'd recommend this book for yourself or as a gift. I re-read chapters nightly before playing in tournaments as an instrument to mentally prepare myself. It has helped me to win national junior events and I guarentee that it will help you as well. Hit 'em straight!

Summary: Golf may not be a game of perfect, but this book is!
Review: This is an absolute must for anyone interested in taking their game to the next level, whatever that might be. The anecdotes regarding the best players in the world reveal that they go thru some of the very same mental issues that we all deal with, whether it's a $2 nassau, the club championship, or trying to break 90, 80, or par for the first time. There's nothing "technical" here, and yet I gained more from this book than any other book, magazine, or lesson. I cannot recommend it more highly. Before spending any money on another lesson or on new equipment, invest in this book!!!

Summary: Very Important Book!
Review: This is an outstanding book filled with common sense, wit and wisdom from a true student and lover of the game: Bob Rotella. Rotella books have been a big factor in me bringing my handicap down from 20 to 3 over the last three years. Rotella uses stories to illustrate his ideas and concepts, making them easier to remember and understand. Much more entertaining than do this, don't do that type instruction. Great instruction for life as well as golf, especially his ideas on pursuing your dreams, hard work and overcoming obstacles. This book is great for competitive golfers and recreational golfers. Rotella teaches you to love and enjoy the process of improving and playing regardless of results for that given day. One of the hardest aspects of this book to implement is his suggestion that if you are not spending 90 percent of your practice time on shots from a 100 yards and in, you are not practicing to become the best player you can be. Yet he is correct. The more I pracice the scoring shots, the better I get. This is a book that every golfer should read.

Summary: We can improve the mental side of our golf games.
Review: We are all fascinated by the game of golf because of it's many complexities and and even contradictions. Most of us play for relaxation and companionship. We enjoy the outdoor arena, the beautiful scenery and the challenge of the hardest game there is. At the same time we can rapidly turn from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde by the simple missed three footer. Acceptance of this natural contradiction is the key to success. Rotella provides a pattern to help overcome the inconsistencies in our mental games and learn to accept the unpredictable nature of a game using a bouncing ball. The best result to be gained by reading this book is the need to include a pre-shot element to the shot routine. Proper planning with key mental processes are elementary to the game. Rotella will help you find the process and accept the imperfections.

Summary: A MUST, BUT NOT JUST FOR GOLFERS!!
Review: WHAT A GREAT BOOK! This book makes perfect easy sense of everything. As a beginner golfer and a tournament tennis player, I found this book equally helpful for both sports. The power of positive thinking is tremendous. This book was recommended to me by at least 4 different golfers and proved to be everything they said it would be. Now I know I can play better golf, I just need to find the tee times

Summary: One of the two books every Golfer MUST have.
Review: Wow!!! What a book. Bob Rotella knows golf. He is to the mental game what Dave Peltz is to the short game. The concepts are simple, yet they escaped me for years. "It is better to be sure than correct." "Conservative game, aggressive swing." His tips and techiques worked. 70's are now expected with par on the horizon. This book is loaded with thoughts and techniques that produce instant results. I can now relax and enjoy the game while shooting for birdies. Thanks Bob!
