Summary: Sharing proven steps for peak performance in golf
Review: Always looking for a way to combine my love of sport and psychology, I found golf. After personally playing, or working with athletes from a myriad of other sports, golf emerged as the most difficult mentally!Years of exciting work and reasearch are combined in this book to share with you proven techniques for improving both your skills and your enjoyment of the game. Trying to make it both entertaining and instructional, we were kindly given persmission by many or our PGA,LPGA and Sr. PGA Tour clients--as well as a number of amateurs, including a housewife from Pennsylvania and a businessman from California--to use their trials and triumphs as fun, informative examples. If you or someone you know loves the game, we are certain some of the recommendations here will breath new life into an old game, renew the fun that has been lost, inspire an avid beginner and lower the stroke average of all who take it seriously. We hope you enjoy learning about yourself and how your personality influences your play--and that you feel the same excitement as our clients when you discover how much easier and more fun the game can be by simply changing some habits of thought! We would love to hear your comments!

Summary: Unique Approach to Making Our Mind an Asset not liability
Review: Having worked with great pros like Dave Stockton, Lee Janzen and others, a psychologist and her husband work with more than 300 PGA pros comparing their mental game abilities with those of champions.The areas considered are: focus and concentration, abstract thinking, emotional stability, dominance and competitiveness, tough-mindedness, self-assurance, self-sufficiency and opimum arousal and tension management. On each section, they give a questionaire, which then you score and see your abilities comparative to those of champions. For example, on focus those scoring 8.0 and higher have good routine and focus on last round, while my score was 5.6. Suggests ways to improve. As another reviewer pointed out, one can take more complete inventory and send in for assessment. This book is definitely for the player who seriously wishes to improve their game with effort and persistence.

Summary: The greatest book ever written about golf between your ears
Review: I filled out the GolfPsych questionnaire and Deborah and John gave me the results comparing me to the traits of champion golfer's. Although most of my results didn't surprise me, I wouldn't realize the rational behind their theory until my game went south. I always thought I could analyze my shot result and correct it immediately. What I have since found out with their help and the concepts in this super book, is how much all that analyzing contributed to my problem. I'm looking forward to finishing the entire program. If you want to play better golf and enjoy it more, you have to read this book!!!

Summary: The Real Game
Review: We spend so much time pounding balls at the range when we really know that most of our mistakes are mental?? I thought this book was GREAT! I followed it last summer and my handicap dropped from 12 to 8 and I played less practice rounds. Next spring I plan to continue working on the mental side of my game (with this book) and hopefully drop a couple more strokes. This book would also be a great read for the off-season.
