I lost five shots in six months!
For anyone in with a handicap in the low teens, this book is a must! I studied Sports Psychology at Univeristy and this book brings everything to bear in 240 simple, easy to read pages that took me four years to learn. Focus only on the shot at hand, concentrate on the target, whether it be 250 yards away or two feet and once you have hit your shot, move on. Who knows what will happen to the ball once it leaves the club face? At the end of it, all that matters is that you have controlled the one element that is within your control - namely the attention to the shot prior to playing it. As "an imperfect game", once you complete the swing, what happens to the ball is often in the lap of the gods.
Golf no longer upsets me and I now enjoy a bad round (almost) as much as a good one. I spend perhaps 45 seconds chanelling my attention for each shot and once I have hit it, I am back in the social world, chatting and joking with my playing partners.
Last year after reading Dr Bob my formal handicap fell one shot. In truth, my playing handicap was probably four shots worse than my formal handicap so morally, I believe I lost five shots between April and September! This year I am looking for even more!

Must for golfers of any ability
As a 22 hacker , I recently purchased this book out of general interest, and read this book in less than 2 nights, could not put it down (its also a good read) then on a small game last Saturday played the best I have ever done, coincidence or ?
I have now read it a couple of times and will put it to the test again this weekend, but even now I have only + thoughts. "Play to play great"

What can I say ..... I shot 16 shots less this weekend after only reading the first 7 chapters. The author has set this book out in a logical manner and the thoughts to rember at the end of each chapter are a great concept. I am ready to purchase yet another book written by DR BOB ROTELLA
