 If You Read Nothing Else About Golf, Read This! June 26, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
A timeless classic that helped start the "inner game" revolution - this is the book that points golfers to the other half of the game, the inner aspect of the game. Practical without being hoakey or too metaphysical. One of those book you'll keep on your shelf forever.
Back...stop...hit...stop... Keep Self 1 busy and feel the clubhead. June 24, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Proposes, defends, and offers detailed first-hand phenomenological insight into a radical (by Western standards) approach to learning that maintains the master skill of all learning is "relaxed concentration" (p. xiii) coupled with trust in the body's (and mind's) ability to learn. As a sequel to the author's previous work on learning to play tennis, the book provides instruction, examples, and encouragement in becoming receptive to a natural form of learning based on focused attention and non-judgmental awareness. While the approach admittedly can seem somewhat Zen-like to most Westerners, it is consistent with the Socratic learning approach underlying much of classical education.
Oh, and by the way, it WILL reduce your handicap.

While I was reading the book, I realised how dramatically true it all was !!! It's an absolute "must have" for all golfers. Your approach to the game will take a 180 twist and it will awaken your hidden golf talents. Enjoy the reading !
The Mental Game explained February 9, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is out of print but shouldn't be. Every golfer knows that the mental game is more than half of the battle. After you've lowered your handicap to 20 or so, most golfers become victims of what I call "tip-itis". Your pro or friend says Shoulder up, left arm straight, rotate hips,etc and suddenly you're standing on the tee wondering which of those is responsible for the drive which went big left. Gallwey explains that it's the lack of concentration...in terms that are sometimes a little too new age but that actually work to help you just swing and not get in the way of your own ability. Read it - it helps! No excuse for good fundamentals, but the mental side is equally or more important.
Great book on mental apsect of golf! January 22, 2005
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
There is a reason why this book has sold so many copies. This is because it is a great book on the mental side of golf. This book does help with realizing why we sabotage ourselves in certain situations on the golf course. This made me realize what I was doing and thus got rid of doing such negative thinking. I also recommend "The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better." ISBN; 1933023090. This last book has great golf instruction technique that is very helpful. The Ultimate Golf Instruciton Guide showed me how to lower my score by several strokes in a couple of months through sound technique that is not a copy of the same stuff that has been on the market way too long. I'm also hitting more greens in regulation than ever.
