 Read This Book Before The Big Match/Outing May 11, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am not a distinguished golfer by any means, but I have an annual competitive golf trip with buddies that stirs my competitive juices at the start of the golf season. Rather than take a golf lessson (which would just confuse the heck out of me so close to competition), I bought and read this book. It made all the difference in the world as far as my mental attitude was concerned. I was able to keep a positive attitude after my (inevitable) poor golf shots, and I celebrated my good ones.
I loved his rule to "love your putter and wedge". In other words, to get enthusiastic about the opportunity to use both clubs. That mental attitude change made a huge difference in my short game.
This book also helped me give myself permission to play well. Too often, I would start a round hot and then fold under the pressure of a low scorecard. Dr Rotella helped me recognize this mental flaw and deal with it when it reared its head.
Let's be real here, this book is no substitute for talent and dedicated practice. But if you're tired of blowing up on the golf course and often harbor thoughts of abandoning your clubs on the bag drop rack, this book is for you. It will help you play to your true potential.
As for my golf outing, it was handicap adjusted, and I was the only guy to shoot under my index (by one stroke over three rounds), so I took home the trophy and some cash. For the 13 previous years that I attended, I never came close to winning. The difference was my mental attitude during the competition and my ability to deal with the pressure. For me, this book paid for itself, quite literally.
Great Book for any person wanting to play better golf. March 21, 2006

This book is not a good book, it is a great book. It won't tell you how to mechannically play better golf but it will tell you the results of poor attitues and habits that we all have which limit our ability to play our best. I recomend this book to all those folks that throw clubs, spit nasty words, or just become slightly unnerved. There is more to this book than that but you will have to read it to find out.

For tennis players also! November 20, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Bob Rotella provides fundamentals of mental toughness that can be used in many sports. I'm an enthusiastic tennis player and have successfully used the methods outlined in The Golfer's Mind to improve my game and to use as a basis for raising my game to the next level. "Play to play great", Get into process, not results", and "Believe fully in yourself" are examples of the thoughts to play by. Train your brain as hard as you train your body.

This book is very similar to the other Psyche books. Very easy to read, not so easy to implement.
