Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect Audible Audio Edition Dr Bob Rotella Bob Cullen Simon Schuster Audio Books Reviews

• This is the bible for golfers who want to learn to have a better mindset when playing and practicing the game. If you find yourself getting worked up during a round of golf, or feel like your game is stagnating, this book can help get your mind right. Well-written and straightforward I recommend this book to anyone who takes the game seriously (maybe too seriously). I learned that the way to improving my game was not in perfecting the golf swing but in improving my thinking and emotions on the course.
• Bought this for my 14 year old to help him tackle the mental side of the game. He's enjoying the read and says he's got some good stuff out of it. My understanding is that is is written petty plainly and directly with many annectdotes and examples from famous golfers. He's not a big reader, but this seems to be one for him.
• The pro at my course recommended this book to me. A nice reminder that the game of golf will always win and we can have a good game but it won't be perfect. Some of the chapters were better than others at soothing me after a not so good game. The best chapter, in my opinion, was the about how to practice.
• As a 21 handicap the weakest point of my game has always been mental. My practice sessions were focused on long irons/driver, and to a smaller degree putting, with a little short game thrown in. I analyzed and tweaked my game during the round based on what the previous shot did, and couldn't help but get *upset* when the inevitable triple bogeys came along.
  I now rarely get upset over a bad shot, never practice putting, never practice long irons, haven't changed anything about my swing/grip, and am playing the best golf of my life. I love his simple mental approach when you're playing a round.
  I restrict any analysis/tweaking of my game now strictly to the driving range.
• Book is perfect. I will read this book many times because it hits a chord in golf, life and overall thoughts. I really enjoyed the stories and the advice. I hated to read the last page but am eager to read it again for some reason. My son is a soccer player and we discuss routines in his sport, training techniques and balance. I have read him sections and we talk about them back and forth and we end with something we are doing or going to do, which brings a smile as we drift off into our own thoughts.
• Using positive visualization to set your mind right to put you in the position to succeed. Practice with a purpose. Don’t just pound balls. Focus on speed on greens hitting to collars and making chips and putts when you practice. Doesn’t matter how easy or short the chip or putt is. Just make them.Then later focus on your 135 and In wedge game. Hit different types of shots. Make those priorities. Then practice the long clubs that are the ones that absolutely give you supreme confidence that you will execute the best shot in play. Most time should be spent on putting chipping and wedge play.
• I've taken golf lessons for years, but haven't been able to break through. I bought this book this winter hoping to see if I could develop a new approach to the game. I was so impressed with the book that I've read two other Dr. Rotella books since. I also recommended it to a golfing buddy.
  
  With the extended spring, I haven't been able to see if there are any effects. But I certainly am taking a much different approach as I head into this spring.
• Very interesting. I found myself applying the theories not only to me, but also my playing partners. I will be reading this book a second and even a third time to improve my attitude towards the game of golf.
