Bee Epstein-Shepherd (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1997

The difference between a mediocre and a good golfer is consistency. Consistency in drives and putts can shave handicaps and make golf a pleasure. How to achieve consistency has as much to do with mental attitude as it does about mechanics. Dr. Bee Epstein Shepherd gives you step-by-step instructions on how to control your thoughts for breakthrough performance. Mental Management for Great Golf will help golfers gain greater confidence in their game and create a consistency of form and play.
-- How to overcome first-tee jitters and practice mind over putter
-- Information on how to use hypnosis and self-hypnosis to overcome negative imagery
-- The four keys to better golf are applicable to other sports and life as well

I usually post 92-96, after reading this book I played 36 holes and posted an 88 then a whopping 78. This is my lowest score ever. Worth reading again and again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, bad editor..., February 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mental Management for Great Golf: How to Control Your Thoughts and Play Out of Your Mind (Hardcover)

A very good book for golfing as well as for beginning self-hypnosis. Fairly concise. There's a bit of a pattern with the author's endless stories, but she does like to drive home a point.

There are some rather obvious spelling and grammar mistakes, which really should have been caught by an editor, assuming one was used...

There are golf books and golf books. Most of them are rather technical - this one is about your mind. The fun thing is that it works. This plus Gallwey's "Inner Game of Golf" WILL improve your game. They sure improved mine - and both books are starting to wear out from heavy use.
