Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-30 Summary: Have an open mind...and it will work ... I videotaped my swing back in July and found that I had a very flat swing. I have worked on fixing that swing (and some other faults)for many hours. The more I worked, the worse I got; but even though my scores were rising, I felt that my swing improved...until I videotaped myself again. NOTHING HAD CHANGED! I really believed that my swing was better, but it was almost exactly the same. Years ago I was a 12HC with my lowest round being an 81. My goal,this year, was to break 80 and eventually have a single digit HC. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-15 Summary: Golf is Not a Game of Perfect ... Well worth the reading. Common themes that help focus on the essentials, allowing it to sink in. Most of these type of books generally raise the awareness of common sense like focus on the target, etc. This book provides good testimonials, examples, etc. to bring home the real purpose. Easy to read. Though I haven't put it to practice yet, I know it will help my game. Already picked up his other book on putting. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-30 Summary: Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect ... This item was as described by the seller and came within the time promised. Best of all, it was exactly the book I needed! I'd highly recommend the book to anyone struggling with their golf game. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-28 Summary: Top Notch ... This is not a book intended to teach swings, strokes, putts or the mechanics of golf. It is however a fantastic book relegated to the mental aspects of the game from our personal level. As he states, there is no magic to the common sense he applies, it is just raising our awareness of how not to beat ourselves up over the less than perfect shots. Very readable at 222 pages. We would highly recommend this book to anyone who has frustrations and wants to put the fun back into their game. I was doing some struggling but ...more

Among his many professional clients are Nick Price (last year's Player of the Year), Tom Kite, Davis Love III, Pat Bradley, Brad Faxon, John Daly, and many others.

[2] ... Review | One of golf guru Jim Flick's mantras is that golf is 90 percent mental, and the other 10 percent is mental, too. Dr. Bob Rotella, a noted sports psychologist and performance consultant, roots around the golfer's mind to expose--and analyze--the doubts, the fears, and the frustrations that haunt anyone who's ever picked up a club and swung it. Through anecdote and aphorism he suggests how these mental and emotional hazards can be played through, and, regardless of skill level, how teeing off with a...more

The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9781401309619; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-02 Summary: The Match ... A compelling story about a Golf Match set up by 2 friends in the early days of the Crosby Clam Bake. It makes you wish you could have been there to witness that much talent going at it in a best ball team format. Being around golf for my entire life, I had never heard about this match. It tells a lot about the match itself and describes Golf in the days of Hogan and Nelson. The match had Nelson and Hogan playing against 2 amatuers (Venturi & Harvey Ward). A lot of pride was at stake and the writing is very well done. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-08 Summary: Golf Book ... I bought this book for my husband. His friend suggested it and so far my husband loves it. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-30 Summary: Extraordinary ... This is a marvelous story by a marvelous storyteller. I'm not a golfer at all, and only a casual fan of the sport, but this book is still an extraordinary experience. I've been reading sports books for 50 years (I started with John R. Tunis and Ring Lardner) and this one ranks second only to Ball Four -- better than Heaven is a Playground or Paper Lion. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-05 Summary: Loved it ... I'm fairly new into into golf(5months) and I absolutely loved this non but seemingly fiction story. Like they say, if you made it up they wouldn't believe it. Sure hope the movie is in the making. ...more

Mark Frost's gripping new book, The Match ." -- Golf magazine "Frost weaves an exceptional narrative . . .

Sudden Death
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-17 Summary: Sudden Death Entertaining and Informative!! ... Sudden Death is not in my normal genre of book selection . I decided that I wanted to read Michael Balkind's books because of his warm and engaging presence on twitter. Needless to say I was not disappointed. Michael gives so much in this book that you do not expect in a golf thriller. I have a far better understanding of golf, fine wine and dining. Theres a lot of attention to detail which makes this book extremely approachable for the non golfing reader. You will find while reading this book that the main character ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-26 Summary: very exciting read ... Its great when you discover a new author.I got Michaels book by pure chance and Sudden Death is an awesome read.Sent to America for it and it couldn't come quick enough. From the moment i started reading i couldn't put it down ,even if you aint a golf fan like myself.Great characters and very gripping storyline. Will be ordering Dead ball as soon as i can and hopefully will be as addictive as Sudden Death. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-06 Summary: Balkind Sport novel ... Enjoyed this very much.It kept me guessing the whole time.Couldn't wait for his next novel and read that one as well. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-31 Summary: Sudden Death ... It was awesome! I am not a sports nut but it had me from the first chapter. It felt like I was there with them at every turn. If you are a James Patterson fan then you will love Michael Balkind. I liked it so much I bought his 2nd book Dead Ball and once again it was great! I can hardly wait for his next book. (I wish he'd write faster!) Love love love. You won't be disappointed. ...more

The Inner Game of Golf

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-28 Summary: Self awareness is the path to par ... For many people, golf is a game of "could've, would've, should've." I could've hit that shot better. I would've hit that shot better if I had done this or that. I should've hit that shot better. Normally, rational people seem to develop unrealistic expectations upon arrival at the golf course. Instead of having fun, they put pressure on themselves to make a certain shot or achieve a particular score. If that doesn't happen, frustration and self-doubt set in. A normally relaxing game becomes a test of self worth. Attempts ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-07 Summary: Buy this Book - Do Not Buy the Kindle Edition! ... The content of this book is 5 stars and is well described by the other reviewers. However there is a problem with the Kindle edition. On location 3820 there is a critical table of information. 1/3 of the table is truncated and is not visible - even if the font is reduced to the smallest size. Therefore I strongly suggest you do not purchase the Kindle Edition and stick to the paper version. I have been very pleased with my Kindle to date. Hopefully Amazon will consider re-digitizing the book. Of course it's always ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-05-16 Summary: trust your inner self ... This book provides excellent guidance regarding trusting yourself to find the best of your game. The writing style is engaging. The writer becomes a mentor for you. This is a person you would like to know. You do come to know him as a friend and guide to a stress free approach to golf. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-14 Summary: Applying foucs to your golf game ... I re-read this book every couple of years, and enjoy it thoroughly. When a golfer has studied all the technical swing mechanics books, seen all the lesson videos and taken every tip from every source, he/she still needs to learn how to prepare himself mentally to play the game, and more importantly - improve his game. This book makes it possible to improve rapidly and to continue improving. ...more

[2] ... Review | Long before Dr. Bob Rotella made tweaking a golfer's head as important as tweaking his swing, Tim Gallwey, who knew virtually nothing about the mechanics of the game when he penned the first edition of this visionary work, understood that even the best technique collapses when the mind cracks under the game's pressure. Gallwey's ultimate insight into the game was that a golfer's mind is a golfer's worst enemy; too much thinking only gets in the way. The new edition of this groundbreaking instructional...more
