It should give thousands of golfers renewed enthusiasm for the game through a simple and poositive plan for improvement. -- Mike Holder, golf coach, Oklahoma State University, and six-time NCAA champion

5.0 out of 5 stars the one minute golfer, March 24, 2001

By	Susie Darling (San Diego, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

This is the best mental book on golf I have ever read. Blanchard known for The One Minute Manager and other best selling management books is a golf fanatic and founded the Golf University, located at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, based on these concepts. If you want to have fun playing golf this is a must read . As Blanchard says "I never met a golf game I didn't like."

By	Giuseppe "Giuseppe" (Italy, Milan) - See all my reviews

It is an excellent book, well written and easy to read. It is not a manual, but something more: it really helps you to understand the game of golf.
