This review is from: Golf at the Top with Steve Williams: Tips and Techniques from the Caddy to Raymond Floyd, Greg Norman, and Tiger Woods (Paperback)

Let's see, you take one caddy from New Zealand who dropped out of high school, add an unknown business / political writer from New Zealand and you get one of the most powerful sports psychology books ever written. Yeah, that makes sense.

I don't know what I was expecting when I bought the book, but I certainly was not expecting to be writing a tribute.

I was stunned not only at the content but also the delivery. Although this book is written in a way to be assimilated by just about anyone, the value of the content in this book will be appreciated more by those who understand the importance and the difficulty of being able to construct the condition of lasing mental activities needed to ensure the success of each shot under tournament pressure.

I suppose that a downside might be that those who are not already familiar with the value of meditation (essentially those who would stand to benefit the most from this book) could easily overlook some of the most important, but subtle, threads in the focus of this work. So, for the highest level of reader satisfaction, I would strongly endorse: a love of golf, an appreciation for the benefits of meditation and a careful reading of this book...in that order.

This review is from: Golf at the Top with Steve Williams: Tips and Techniques from the Caddy to Raymond Floyd, Greg Norman, and Tiger Woods (Paperback)

Since I received my copy of the book, I haven't read it in detail yet, but am getting there. I do tend to skim, then read.

One thing I did notice is that a photo of Ray Floyd, Steve Williams and Arnold Palmer is captioned "Ray Floyd, Steve and The Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus". I am sure that Arnie and Jack aren't impressed by the proof reader.

One of the things that I am always skeptical about with these types of books is that it will be a rehash of that which has gone before, many times. Refreshingly, Steve Williams, or his editors, have take the time to create an entertaining read that is targetted at all golfers, from the weekend hacker like me who desperately wants to shave a few strokes off the handicap, to those who are comfortable with their game but require a few 'tweaks'.
