Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: A wonderful book for all golfers! ... This the the one book all new golfers, and many long time golfers, should read. It is a wonderful collection of examples and reasons that we should love the GAME that golf is and not be tied up in scoring well all the time! I have given it to all of my friends as they start playing golf! ...more
[2] 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
[3] 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
[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

[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

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

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-28 Summary: Improve Your Confidence and Hit Better Shots ... Of all the books I have read on improving my golf game, I have to say that Fearless Golf by Dr. Gio Valiante has produced the best results for me. The book discusses Dr. Valiante working with golf professionals on tour, young developing players in college and applies his theories to hackers, which he defines as anyone struggling to break 90. Well, in my case, I am struggling to break 100. After not playing for nearly two years, because of a bad knee and an eventual full knee replacement, I have found it very difficult ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-28 Summary: learning how to loose the fear and play better golf ... I am sure that many people (golfers) that read this think they will pick up that one tip that will turn their game around. Not so. The book is very repetitive. He says the same thing over and over and over using quotes from his three most favorite golfers...Hogan, Nicklaus and Tiger. He also references many know and unknown golfers and allows them to speak in their own words how fear affects their game. Back to the repitition; this is the point of writing a book on the psychology of the mental game. You say it over ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-05-12 Summary: Good but too long ... I have to agree with other reviewers. The message is a good one but it takes way too many pages to make the key points. There are also too many stories of PGA golfers and not enough of regular Joes using his technique. He writes well and the science was interesting but I didn't really get to the meat until the last 60 or 70 pages. ...more

Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | A detailed plan for conquering the FEAR that sabotages swings and ruins psyches, from the pioneering psychologist whose techniques have benefited Davis Love III, Justin Leonard, and numerous other world-class golfers. As Jack Nicklaus once observed, fear is the golfer’s greatest enemy, inspiring Tiger Woods to "refuse" to give in to this debilitating emotion. It can turn professionals into jelly and dominate the games of most amateurs. It alters swing paths, causes “tap-in” putts...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-06 Summary: Tiger Woods book ... I've only read a couple of chapters but from that sample the book is very good. The book is an easy read- informative without being technical and the right amount of anecdote is mixed in. The only negative I can find so far is the actual writing style. After hearing him talk & realizing his age at the time of publication the words don't seem to be his voice. It seems that editors style is most prevalent. It's not a problem once you get used to it though it was a disappointment at first. ...more
