Its interesting but not as good as “Golf is not a Game of Perfect” which is also by Rotella

4 Stars Great help for any golfer

5 Stars Great stuff - worked for me
I have been playing golf for a long time, but have had a psychological barrier about playing “too well”. I knew that the mental / confidence part was as important as the physical/practice part of golf, but I really didn’t have an approach to improve my mental game. Until I read this book.

Golf is a Game of Confidence is an easy read, setup as antecdotes of lessons learned over 18 chapters. I could really identify with many chapters, and the book really appealed to me. I would highly recommend the book to anyone seeking to improve their mental outlook and have more fun with the game.

Summarized setup: Smile, Have Fun, Analyze the situation, Visualize the shot, Do it, Accept the result, and Forget about it. (Repeat until the round is over) Using this approach, I have broken 80 in my last two rounds (78, 79). Previously, I usually shot in the 80’s, but have only broken 80 twice in my life ! This book is the best golf investment that I’ve ever made. You can keep the latest $500 driver, I’ll take this book - and I’m having more fun with the game too.

5 Stars It really helps!
I just want to say that this book was very helpful in increasing my confidence in my all around game. We all have rounds where we hit the ball extremely well the front nine and blow up on the back or vice-versa. Though it doesn’t really give instructions or tips, it’s what you take from it that is so beneficial. I played a few days after reading just the first few chapters and what I took from it was to “stay in the present”. Every time I found myself getting ahead with my score or dwelling on a poor execution, I would say to myself, “Just stay in the present” and I played one of my best rounds ever. I would very much recommend this book to anyone who has ever “blown-up” during a round.

I started reading this book three days ago. Today I competed in a small golf tournament and won. I shaved a good five strokes off and had the funnest round iv played in a long time. This is a good book, it shows you the do’s and don’ts in preparing for a shot, hole, or match. Read this book.
