Industry Reviews

I have read and been to many courses on the mental side of our beautiful game and somehow you not only drawn all the threads together but have also given a process of implementation and measurement. This is a compelling read that I could not put down and all I want to do is reread and tell the world about. (Andy M - Head Professional and PGA Member-30 years)

I loved the book. Reading it was so easy. The section on mindfulness is brilliant. Your reflective questions and summary at the end of each chapter is outstanding. You have touched on all the areas in such an easy manner. (Aruni V - Amateur golfer)

Congratulations on such a great piece of work! I loved it! Very concise and well written. I loved the structure of the book. It didn't read like a text book and was very practical. Only problem is I want more! I will be sure to recommend this book to all my family, friends and colleagues! (Bing L - Golf professional)

What an accessible, insightful and practical approach to the mental game. Great idea to take a broad approach which will allow a range of golfers to dip in and take what they need from it not to mention a great background on how players learn and the tools to improve. I've already started to focus more on better use of imagery and that tricky attitude zone between bad shot and next shot. I liked the questions at the end of each chapter which will help readers focus on how to apply the discussion to their own game. (Bev W - Amateur golfer)

I think that for anybody who truly wants to improve in this game they must read this book. (Paul T - Amateur golfer)

Nice read I found many points of synchronicity to my teaching methodology when it comes to the psychology of the game. (Henry S - PGA member)
