Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Here's a hard fact of golf life: despite the technological improvements in golf equipment and the billions of dollars spent on that gear, the average golfer is still as bad as he or she was 15 years ago. Bob Rotella, sports psychologist and author of Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect and Golf Is a Game of Confidence, knows what the problem is: commitment. Once a player commits himself to doing better, and does what it takes to achieve that goal, he or she will improve. Rotella's plan for making and following through on that commitment is an excellent one. He says very clearly, and right at the beginning of the book, that his plan isn't for someone who plays golf once a month for pleasure. This is for hard-core dimpleheads, male or female, and it's a serious, extremely workable program.

Review
Davis Love III

My father spent many years teaching me to play golf, but when I reached the PGA Tour we realized that a poor short game was holding me back. My father suggested that Dr. Bob Rotella could help me reach my potential as a tournament golfer. Bob taught me a steady routine and has given me the confidence in my game to play at the highest level of competition.



Brad Faxon

Top 10 player on the PGA tour and two-time member of the U.S. Ryder Cup Team

During the last thirteen years with Dr. Rotella's instruction, I have consistently improved my game, my scoring average, my skills, and my place on the money list on the PGA tour. If you follow his direction you will greatly enhance the chances of improving your own golf game.



Tom Kite

1992 U.S. Open champion and 1997 U.S. Ryder Cup captain

Bob Rotella understands the importance of discipline and dedication to a well-thought-out plan for improvement. Patience, persistence, and trust are required, but progress will follow if you honor your commitment to the plan he outlines. Doing so will bring tremendous feelings of satisfaction and pride.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very motivational, August 1, 2000
By A Customer
I have read all three of Dr. Rotella's books: 'Golf is Not a Game of perfect', 'Golf is a Game of Confidence', and this piece 'The Golf of Your Dreams'. If you have read 'Golf is Not a Game of Perfect' you will not get much more insight into the mental aspect of the game in this book. Although some material is repeated here it definately is not a complete rehash of his other books. However, the book can be summed up to: find a golf pro, and commit to a practice schedule. That's pretty much it.

Now the reason this book gets three stars is because there is something about Dr. Rotella that is very motivational. The things he discusses make you believe that you can get better, that you are capable of playing 'the golf of your dreams'. And I don't doubt that you are. But if you are a very self motivated person, just find a reliable pro, promise to practice consistently, and you'll be on your way. But, if you are like me, and always need a little push in the right direction from someone who knows how to say things in the right way, then pick this book up. It might not be his best work, but it's worth the money if you're willing to put in the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too early to tell, November 5, 2000
By Jim Atwood (New Delhi India) - See all my reviews
Little contained in this book not already known by serious golfer or athlete. Chapters about choosing a pro and sticking with the pro over years took many pages to describe something that is mostly common sense. On the other hand, advice about commitment to an improvement program, the improvement cycle, value of a systematic approach and the time needed to make significant improvement rang true. I'll see over the years what sticks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bob Rotella's Golf of Your Dreams, February 27, 2008
I purchased this book years ago and misplacet it. Since it gave me excellent results I decided to purchase another one wanting to get the same results. I took several years off because of health issues so I decided to give it another shot. If you purchase this book and follow his game plan I guarantee you will get exellent results also. It takes time and effort but it is all worth it in the end when you win the money and match against your oppenents. Good luck
