Editorial Reviews:

For the last decade, golfers of all abilities have been drawn to the writings and teachings of Bob "Doc" Rotella. His books Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect, Golf Is a Game of Confidence, The Golf of Your Dreams, and Putting Out of Your Mind have all become classics for golfers everywhere. Weekend golfers and pros like Brad Faxon, Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington, Tom Kite, and Davis Love III all read and listen to the man they call Doc because his teachings are simple and direct -- and in the end, what Doc says makes them play better golf.

The Golfer's Mind was actually first suggested by Davis Love, Jr. -- Davis Love III's dad -- who encouraged Doc to write an instruction book on golf's mental challenges, organized by topic. Love thought that golfers could keep the book with them, or at least nearby, at all times. When they needed a refresher on a certain issue, they could consult the book, read for a few minutes, and take away solid guidance regarding their difficulties. Doc heard what Love said, and twenty years later, The Golfer's Mind is that book. From his Ten Commandments (Commandment I. Play to play great. Don't play not to play poorly) to just about any topic a golfer might imagine, this is the ideal way for players to get all of Rotella's teachings. Doc covers topics including:

  • Butterflies
  • Practicing to Play Great
  • The Rhythm of the Game
  • Routine
  • Setbacks
  • How Winning Happens

In the perfect format for the busy golfer, The Golfer's Mind is the concise and convenient quick-reference tool to appeal to Rotella's millions of followers and is sure to become a golf classic.

Summary: The golfer`s mind:Play to PLay Great
Comment: I went to a golf school with Bob one full week(imagine !!!) some years ago(1988),he was geat then and I think he is even better now, just like good wines.
I dont think I can afford that now, so I recomend you read the book instead ,its probably more reasonable.

Summary: "Typical"
Comment: This was a typical Rotella book. Really, it is a compilation of statements made in his other books..."Golf is Not a Game of Perfect",
"Putting Out of Your Mind", Golf is a Game of Confidence", and "The Golf of Your Dreams." Now, I have six of his books (including Life is Not a Game of Perfect"; and, although enlightening, he's pretty much said it all a couple of times.

Summary: golfer's mind
Comment: Very good, but too repetitive. I also read Fearless Golf by Gio Valiante which is a much better read with more meat in my opinion.

Summary: A great Mental aide
Comment: Since Golf is, in my opinion, a "mental" game, this book really helped me over the hurdles of negative thoughts. Took Dr. Rotella's "therapy" with me on the course......Truly, helped to improve my game I highly recommend it.
