 Every Shot must have a purpose October 10, 2007
Absolutely brilliant, not only helped my golf but my attitude towards it plus life in general. Teaches that when it comes down to it we can do anything we put our mind to.
"Must have book for your mental game" August 31, 2007
At first when I got this book, I thought this was just another book to help you with your mental game. But after reading this book, I find it has help me focus on every shot. I like their idea of "think box" and "play box". I find when I'm ready to swing that I had so many swing thoughts that it would really mess me up when I swing. The authors kept it simple to where I did all my thinking in the "think box" (choose target, type of swing, etc). Once you cross the line and stepped into the "play box" all you do is just focus on the target and just swing. I find myself hitting closer to the target and not all over the fairway.
The other ideas mentioned in the book are really helpful. Keeping positive thoughts as opposed to negative thoughts when you swing helps. If all you do is focus on avoiding the bunker or water, well guess what happens your shot ends up in the bunker or water. I am having a lot more fun playing a round of golf after reading this book.
I highly recommend this book for help with your mental game!

How to Drop 8 shots quickly July 6, 2007
This little Book replaces all the dozens of books that I have purchased over the years. I read it through twice and have reduced my score from the mid nineties to the mid Eighties. I am 76 years old and am living proof that you can teach an old Duffer some new Tricks. I play with an over 50 Group twice a month and last Month I won my "D" Flight by 5 Shots, earning a $51.00 Gift Certificate. It is so full,of good common sense, and mainly confirms the most important distance in Golf is the Five Inches between your Ears.
Sound basic advice, but the writing is gimmicky. May 11, 2007
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
As most of the other reviews mention, this book is focused on the mental and emotional approach to golf, as opposed to swing mechanics. I think that's great. You can pick up some useful insight, and hopefully you can get advice on your swing mechanics in person from a qualified instructor (definitely the best way to go).
The authors give some good advice on how to approach the game. They talk about a "think box" and "play box," which are useful concepts. I picked up a good slogan, "achieve and leave," which I now say to myself when I start getting compulsive on the practice range.
The bad news is that I found the writing to be full of gimmicks and advertisements. They use a lot of UPPERCASE LETTERING for emphasis which drives me crazy because I feel like they're shouting at me (okay, I may have some personal issues here...). They went so far as to trademark the name GOLF54, and they shamelessly promote their schools and some pseudo-science nonsense called HEARTMATH.
If you're looking for a good book on the mental game, check out Golf Is Not A Game Of Perfect (Bob Rotella), Fearless Golf (Gio Valiante), or Extraordinary Golf (Fred Shoemaker).
