You do not have to play many rounds of golf to
understand how much of the game is played in the mind.
Different courses, conditions, and shot requirements all
present unique challenges that need focus and mental
strength from the winning player. In turn, moving from
the practice range onto the golf course can often
magically produce drops in concentration, increased
frustration, and unexpected self-doubt: drives go
wayward, three foot putts get missed, and water features
seem to become magnets. The Successful Golfer is
designed to help address 50 of the most common faults
that players experience and which hold them back. These
include: hitting the self-destruct button when winning,
nervousness on the first tee, lost confidence, failing
to practise as you play, losing focus off poor drives,
and many more. Each fault is remedied with a clear
practical fix. You will learn to develop effective
practice plans, build a dependable pre-shot routine,
cope with the pressures of competitive golf, and deal
with distractions. In the second part of the book,
lessons from 30 fascinating research studies on golf are
presented to help keep you ahead of the field. They
include research on putting, practice, choking, and
overthinking. In the third and final part of the book,
clear instructions are provided on developing a number
of highly effective techniques that can be used across a
wide variety of situations. These include: pre-shot
routines, breathing exercises, goal setting, and how
best to practice. Written by experienced Sport
Psychologists, Dr. Paul McCarthy and Dr. Marc Jones, The
Successful Golfer is a must-read addition to any
golfer's bookshelf. Read it and fix those mental faults
that stop you from playing your best golf! Full book
details, including all the faults and fixes, are on the
Bennion Kearny website.
