I read a few chapters almost daily. This book has definitely helped me play better and even more, think better around the course to help me achieve my best. Dr Rotella does a great job of going into the golfer's mind and changing your thinking to improve your golf. I would recommend this book to every golfer out there who finds they have that one thing missing from their game. It is easy to read - any problem you have on a particular day, you can just go straight to the relevant chapter that deals with it. No need to read it from start to finish. This is IT. Dr Rotella knows his stuff.
I'm not rating the book but the service. In fact, I already rated your service as being substandard. Requested the book on 12/15 and it didn't come until 12/29. I don't care what your arbitrary tolerance delivery dates are, I will think hard before ordering a book from you in anticipation that it will come in a reasonable time frame.
"Nothing will upset me today no matter what happens on the course". i can appreciate his psychological points in the book. the problem is, he doesn't really tell you how to bend your mind to achieve these concepts. "Love your putter and your wedges." okay, so i love them, now what. it will teach how to free your mind from all that mental chatter. you can tell anybody all these great ideas, but if they don't tell you how to get there, you will still blow it out of bounds.i've also read "Zen Golf" and this book is far superior IMHO.
but my game still sucks. "Play to play great" about sums it up. okay, i have implemented an attitude adjustment. Zen Golf actually gives you methods for training your mind to deal with pressure, to deal with nerves, and to build confidence, among other things. Rotella only provides you with great concepts. Read Zen Golf.
and learning psychological principals is all about HOW TO THINK, not what to think.
After struggling to find the right temperament on the golf course for many years, I have finally found the answer in the form of this book.My change in mental approach to the game of golf has enabled me within weeks to get my scores down to my single figure capabilities and be able to relax and enjoy golf as the game that it is.I wish I had read it 30 years ago.It is a must read for golfers of all standards and experience.
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.
