Great Book
This author has some revolutionary ideas (at least for a Type A- player) that really helped my game. Think about the course, how beautiful it is, listen to your friends and talk to them...not the ball, yourself or your clubs! Enjoy your time on the course and don't worry about the score!

Unlightening
Having read Golf in the Kingdom, and Inner Game of Golf some time ago, I looked forward to this more recent book on mental aspect of golf.
My handicap has drifted up from 3 to 6 over the last year, so I was looking for a fresh approach. The day after reading the first 130 pages, I resolved to play without fear, not be upset by bad shots, and enjoy my playing partners.
With OB left, trees to the right, I striped my drive on the 440 yd par 4, followed by a 5 iron to 8 feet, and drained the putt. What a great book!
Four hours later I found myself in the clubhouse having shot a 90 for the first time in over 20 years, with four OBs and five 3 putts.
It's a good thing that "looking good" was no longer important to me, as I endured the ribbing, jabs and outright taunts of several of my fellow players.
I'll finish the book. But most likely you'll find it listed on the Used Books here very shortly.
