To be a golfer is to tinker-with everything from equipment to grip to swing. But one thing most players don't give enough attention to is the mental game. Psychologists aren't a new phenomenon in golf, but Dr. Michael Lardon is a different breed of performance coach. Instead of sending his players into a losing battle against emotion, indecision, and fear on the golf course, he shows them how to organize their thoughts and use them for maximum performance.

Golf is a beloved yet technical game, so a sound swing and precise technique are essential. Most golfers who want to improve their skills go to the range and work painstakingly on their swings, not realizing it's often their performance state on the course that needs work, not their technique. Simple things such as awareness of your balance, tension, and tempo, as well as the ability to control mental, emotional, and social variables you encounter while playing, can quickly take your game to a new performance level.

New research has revealed that myelin, once considered an inert form of insulation for brain cells, may be the holy grail of acquiring skill. Journalist Daniel Coyle spent years investigating talent hotbeds, interviewing world-class practitioners (top soccer players, violinists, fighter, pilots, artists, and bank robbers) and neuroscientists. In clear, accessible language, he presents a solid strategy for skill acquisition.

Publisher's Summary

Though written many years ago, few books have equaled this little volume in explaining how the mind is so important in the game of golf and how psychological control and techniques can improve your game as much, and perhaps more, than improved physical techniques. We've all seen golfers with terrible form who do very well. They have the "mind game" if not the physical grace. For those who can put them both together, the sky's the limit. Golf pro Leslie Schon shows, in fascinating detail, just how control of the "brain game" can do wonders for your golf game.

Head game

More head game than mechanics. Many good tips about your score regardless of physical skill.

Well read and I enjoyed it very much.

Nice story but....

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend the book over the audio version. The reader wasn't my taste, he sounds very dry and out of touch with the read.

What didn’t you like about Jim Killavey’s performance?

It was a dry reading and I didn't care for the delivery. It seemed like it was a bit out of touch with the dialog.
