Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Shrink what?
Review: A lot of gibberish and psychobabble. The only thing this book will shrink is your wallet. Save your money and for the price of two such books you can play a round of golf, and maybe kill with your drive the saber toothed tiger!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: So my swing is bad because of my mother?
Review: A lot of psyco-babble here. The book delves into psychiatric concepts that might be a little too deep for the average golfer to wade through.

The major problem with this book is the writing. Apparently they tried to write it themselves. Two words: Ghost writer. They deperately needed one. It's disorganized and repeats itself frequently, but somehow never really brings the point across effectively.

I was excited about this book at first, but it's very difficult to stick with and get through. If you have every other book out there on golf, buy it. Otherwise you may want to pass.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Managing the mental side of the game
Review: If everyone agrees that golf is 90% mental, why do we always look for a mechanical cure to improving our scores and enjoyment of the game? I have always been one to crush it on the range, only to be constantly disappointed out on the course. When you can perform on the range, you know you have a swing. If you already know how to play, this book helps you take your best "range game" out to the course. I recommend this book highly. It isn't for beginners, but players who are looking to manage themselves and their games better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting read
Review: There are many books filled with drills or that give you the best kept secret in golf, and so forth. Most of them are full of good intentions. This is not one of those books. It is an interesting way to look at your golf game. One of its main ideas is that this is a game and you should have a curiousity about how you play. If you are looking for a book that gives you physical drills and five chapters on how to swing a golf club this is not that book. If you are looking for a book on how to relax and accept and enjoy this frustrating game, then buy this one now.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: They should have kept it short.
Review: This book brings across several good points about the mental aspects of golf, and how to overcome the most common issues. The problem is that the authors take too long explaining their points. If it had been a third to half as wordy it would have been much more useful and certainly an easier read. I have tried reading it 'like a book' now twice, and somewhere in the second chapter I just lose interest. Golfers wants relatively quick explanations and remedies. This isn't one of them.
