Here's a hard fact of golf life: despite the technological improvements in golf equipment and the billions of dollars spent on that gear, the average golfer is still as bad as he or she was 15 years ago. Bob Rotella, sports psychologist and author of Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect and Golf Is a Game of Confidence, knows what the problem is: commitment. Once a player commits himself to doing better, and does what it takes to achieve that goal, he or she will improve. Rotella's plan for making and following through on that commitment is an excellent one. He says very clearly, and right at the beginning of the book, that his plan isn't for someone who plays golf once a month for pleasure. This is for hard-core dimpleheads, male or female, and it's a serious, extremely workable program.
Product Description
Fifteen years ago, the average male golfer's handicap was 16.2. The average female golfer's handicap was 29. Today, the average American male golfer's handicap is 16.2 and the average female golfer's is 29. American golfers have not gotten any better. World-renowned performance consultant and sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella now offers The Golf of Your Dreams for the golfer who is determined to get better but hasn't figured out how to go about it. Dr. Rotella's program is based on strategies found to be successful with tour players such as Tom Kite, Brad Faxon, Pat Bradley, and Davis Love III. Dr. Rotella knows that if you want to play your best golf ever, you must admit to yourself that you want to be good and that you have the necessary talent to play well. But that's not all. You must commit yourself to a process that will improve your game. In The Golf of Your Dreams, Dr. Rotella provides tips on how to: - Choose the right teaching professional
- Communicate your dreams and goals to your teacher
- Get your teacher to teach you as a student serious about improving
- Break old habits and develop new ones
- Practice efficiently and effectively so you can take your learning from the practice area to the golf course
The Golf of Your Dreams will make you keenly aware of what you have to do in order to play the kind of golf you've always sensed you were capable of playing.

 Bob Rotella's Golf of Your Dreams February 27, 2008
I purchased this book years ago and misplacet it. Since it gave me excellent results I decided to purchase another one wanting to get the same results. I took several years off because of health issues so I decided to give it another shot. If you purchase this book and follow his game plan I guarantee you will get exellent results also. It takes time and effort but it is all worth it in the end when you win the money and match against your oppenents. Good luck
A Great Little Book November 27, 2005
Dr. Bob Rotella has written a great little book on the mental game of golf. The short chapters are easily digestable a full of wisdom and common sense. I will probably reread this book several times as I try to improve my game. A MUST FOR EVERY GOLFER.
 Hits and Misses February 9, 2003

Hits:
This book is a good read for beginners. Wonderful advice on finding the right instructor and the importance of lessons. There are good examples to support his reasoning. Misses:
Some of the chapters appeared redundent, as some of the points from one chapter seemed to be carried into another. Some of the chapters were rather boring because of this, and the book lacked the flow that I was looking for from subject to subject. While it does offer some good advice for beginning/novice golfers, I found it to be of no significant help to more accomplished players. Maybe after reading arguably the greatest golfing book he's ever written, "Golf is a Game of Perfect", I was expecting more.
The Doc Knows What It Takes to get Better May 18, 2001
2 out of 8 found this review helpful
Naive in my opinion some of reviews. Everyone knows at some point to play better it takes a swing coach. But not everyone knows how to interview and pick out the best for you. This book shows us how.Also, not everyone knows the mental games we have to win about practice, practice, practice in order to raise our games. If it was so simple and easy, as the Doc critiques, why don't most golfers improve then? I've made great strides in past nine years, and still pushing handicap down. This stuff is what it takes. Doc is the best!
Too early to tell November 6, 2000

Little contained in this book not already known by serious golfer or athlete. Chapters about choosing a pro and sticking with the pro over years took many pages to describe something that is mostly common sense. On the other hand, advice about commitment to an improvement program, the improvement cycle, value of a systematic approach and the time needed to make significant improvement rang true. I'll see over the years what sticks.
