this is instruction for the future. the pro or scratch am can't compete without this edge. the answers to why we play the way we do are no longer a mystery, buy the book!

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.

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!!!

As a professional golfer, I've found this book to be of great help. I plan to take the test Dr. Graham and Mr. Stabler write about to clear the cobwebs and play to my advantages. What a relief!!

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.

Shipment was very fast. Very reasonable and description was perfect. I hope to buy from again. An overall great experience

If you want to know WHAT is required to win golf tournaments,
and HOW to get there, this is the book for you.

There are no books on the market that are as specific or that exceed
this text on the mental game.

Your scores will drop dramatically after reading and applying this
method.

AN EXCEPTIONAL WORK.
