Lowered my handicap.

This book definitely made me a smarter golfer, and I lowered my handicap three strokes in just two months. No kidding.
He supports his information with so much data and charts that I ordered the book shortly after I began listening to it on Audible. Having those charts in the book to review while I listened to the book was priceless.
If you’re serious about becoming a better golfer, this book is worth far more than new clubs or lessons, and much cheaper.

It’s a great book!

His analytical approach to the game reminds me of a top level poker player make decisions. His ideas are thought provoking and have opened some interesting conversations with my golf buddies. And applying his methods have produced immediate gains on the course. If you give his method an honest shot I can’t imagine that you’ll be disappointed. HIGHLY recommended!

Valuable for course management

I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed this, but I took many little gems away from it. Great for managing expectations and more realistic goal setting.

Put a lot of into perspective…

My biggest take away from the book is course management. And looking at statistics on average shot percentages for example 120 yards hitting it within 20 feet is actually a good shot. Watching golf on TV can distort our mind about what a good shot really is.

Great book for every golfer

Loved this book. I've played golf for years but never truly understood how to play the game strategically. I never played organized golf in school, so this book helped me so much to understand how to prepare for a round, how to approach each hole, how to practice, and create realistic expectations for my game.

Also, it had a number of other resources for my game that I have started reading as well.

the book or just full of so much advice. Great read. You won't be disappointed.
