4.0 out of 5 stars Nobody's perfect, May 17, 1999

Warning #1: The book is printed with very fine characters. Not recommended to the people with vintage eyes:-)

Warning #2: This book is completely the same as the book titled: 'Golf: The Thinking Game' by the same author.

I don't usually expect any great swing instructions from a psychologist. But it must be a big ego boost to write a book about the golf swing...particularly if he is a single handicap player. This author (a clinical psychologist) wrote eight chapters about his swing:-). I simply skipped them. He added "Mental Spotlight" columns in each chapter. Though the ideas appeared in many magazines a long time ago they are still good and useful. I especially liked the one about how to breathe when you swing.

The knowledge I gained in reading this book and applying it to my golf game lowered my handicap by 10 in just over three months. This book's a "must read" for any golfer struggling to master the game of golf.
