MentalRules for Golf Revised Edition

Published Date: June 22, 2009

MentalRules for Golf unlocks many of the secrets of golf ’s mental side by showing how the likes of Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam, and Jack Nicklaus have built their success on great thinking as much as on great swings. Among the book’s 65 mental strategies are the Einstein Factor, Finding the Zone, Are You a Hogan or a Trevino?, Fail Forward, Annika’s "54 Vision" and Wear the Red Shirt. Although numerous books have been written about unlocking the mental secrets to the game, many pieces to the golf puzzle are still missing. With its 64 concise and easily applied strategies, MentalRules® for Golf helps fill that gap by illustrating how the game’s greats—past and present—use their minds to play their best golf.
