Once the basic foundation movements have been learned, Golf, like any other sport begins to become more mental than physical. We have all felt under great pressure at times. And when the pressure is great, we tend to not do as well. We freeze, we miss things that we wouldn’t otherwise. We screw up. In their #1 ranked golf school, GOLF54, the authors teach that playing golf well requires a combination of the physical, technical, mental, emotional and social parts of a players game. Most of this comes before you even get to the ball. This pre-shot focus routine improves a player’s focus, leading to a golf swing that is not onnly successful but can be repeated when your performance is under considerable outside pressure. Written in a light and easy to understand style, this book consists of a series of 22 short chapters, each devoted to one small aspect of improving your game.
At first I resisted buying this book because I really was more interested in a book that helped me with the mechanics of the swing. I didn’t want to read more about being relaxed, be the ball etc. But the more I visited the Amazon reviews the more intrigued I became and bought the book. I am glad I did. It is a lot more than I thought. The author’s concept of the “think box” and the “play box” is something I now use and it works. Lots of other concepts that have helped me are also in the book. Recommended to all.
Pia and Lynn’s book, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose, is a must read for those interested in improving their mental game in golf. I have studied almost every book on the topic and this is, by far, the best to date. I am providing my students with a copy before starting their training. I use the HeartMath biofeedback technology, as well as Bobby Foster’s Mental Golf Profile which are highlighted in the book. Well organized, to the point, and practical strategies for immediate benefits. This is not wasted academic theory, or sports-psychobabble. . . it is the real deal.
