Excellent book on the mental side of golf.
We have no clue on how powerful are brains are if
we only learn how to use them .
And that is exactly what this wonderful book teaches us !

superb insights

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019

It was always going to be a tall order to follow its big sister The Lost Art of Putting, but once again Messr Morris and Nichol have provided the golfer of all abilities with an inspiring read, one that in my opinion outshines big sis'.
From start to finish the book will educate, inspire and entertain the reader in a manner that will leave you reading it from start to finish very quickly.
Incorporating the principles of mindfullness, gratitude and logic the reader embarks on a journey of self discovery in a manner few similar intentioning books have ever been able to achieve.
The educational experience is subtle yet direct and with explanations of implementation easy to follow.
Previous books talk about similar issues without truly aiding the reader, whilst the anecdotes in this book link directly to on course use and game improvement.
This book should be part of every coaches and students reading homework.
Fantastic writings again Gentlemen thanks for sharing all of you countless years of experience.

Shot Making Ideas.

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019

Some interesting ideas about practice, but not really a radical rethinking of golf instruction. I did like their emphasis on the shot rather than the swing.

Worthwhile message, though overly long, repetitive and sometimes hard to follow

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2020

There is some value in the general message of the book (gratitude, smell the roses, art vs. science - common themes being sold today), but it exaggerates and romanticizes its perspective too much. Also, it is a bit clunky in it's writing style and could use some editing. Some sections seem like filler. That said, I did appreciate the reminder that this is a game and that a positive attitude can help me play better. This could have been a magazine article rather than a book.

Decent, needs editing

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020

Decent message throughout the book but for me it’s hard to read because of all the grammatical mistakes and run-on sentences. Doesn’t seem like anyone edited this book before it went out

Example: “One of the many things we love about it is that is does not and cannot form an opinion.”

I got this to go with the Lost Art of Putting and that book changed my game. Having had a rest due to Covid I read this and applied it to my return back to playing. For my first three rounds I have taken an average of 8 shots of my handicap. I have gone back to playing the game for the fun of playing and thinking about the joy rather than concentrating on the score and this has been game changing. it might not be for everyone but it has helped me a lot thank you.

Encouraging you to solve problems not pedaling a formula

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 11, 2020

Many books offer magic solutions either by swing adjustments or by facile commands 'clear your mind', etc. This books suggests you ask positive questions and gives achievable ways to do this. Ways to develop sensible strategies.

Just finished book so can't yet say it's knocked X of my handicap ( It's winter) but am encouraged and feeling better about my game.

The Smarter Way To Take YOUR Golf To Another Level

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

Belatedly it is now being accepted that better golf requires a meeting of mind, natural movement and skills to adapt to the ever changing field of play (the golf course)....not block repeating swings, positions and drills in the hope that eventually we will never hit bad shots. Unfortunately that is...and hopefully now WAS.....how golf is taught. Having worked with Major winners, Tour Pro's and amateurs, keen to improve, Gary (Performance Principles) and Karl (MindFactor) are an unbeatable combination in training mind and body as one. This book, and their previous one (The Lost Art of Putting), establish the principles for you to personalise what works for YOU. They are not pick up, read, and put back on the shelf books - they should be used as the blueprints for taking your game to another level - continually learning, applying and accumulating good days. I wouldn't disregard the last two pages either - Gary and Karl don't just work with Major Winner's - they provide a range of performance training which anyone can have access to, and which I would strongly recommend also. Enjoy, have fun, and shoot lower scores.

Golf improvement plan that actually works!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

The authors cut through the confusion of how best to acquire the skills necessary to play your best golf. Trying to achieve swing positions as a pathway to improvement is proven not to work. A persuasive argument for placing attention in the right areas is made. Thought provoking must -read for all serious golfers.

A great book to read and re-read. A golf book gem.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 9, 2020

I have known about Karl Morris and his work for a number of years now. I have been a regular listener to his Brain Booster podcast, which provides great guests who provide valuable insights not just into the game of golf, but principles in life as well. I purchased "The Lost of Putting" firstly - which as a great read. I read this within a week and went onto purchase "The Lost Art of Playing Golf". Karl and Gary Nicol have written a book that re-connects the golfer to what the game should be truly about. A key concept of the book is that you evaluate your game focussed on shots rather then bad swings (technique). Some of the principles sound simplistic, and they probably are due to the game of golf being overly complicated by golfers themselves and the industry in general. This book re-grounds you about the true fundamental of the game which is playing shots and having a focussed attention to achieve success. Yes you won't hit the shots you want all the time - but this work by Gary and Karl will assist you to get the best out of your game. A recommended read and one to refer back to on a regular basis (as with the Lost Art of Putting). Both books should be in all golfers libraries.
