 A cup of cocoa would be better March 1, 2007

Utter rubbish. Badly written, badly structured wibble. If this book was a guest at a dinner party,this would be the guest you found excuses to avoid being cornered by because they spend the whole evening talking mindless, boring piffle!
Whole book could be summaried in a short 14 point pamphlet. Would like to give it zero stars but not an option.
Struggle to understand why any pro's would pay hansomely to indulge in such buffoonery. Nothing here that even the most cursory of readings elsewhere wouldn't tell you in a fraction of the time and at no cost.
Caveat Emptor!
 Think great and soon play great (once you read this Book) August 2, 2005

I just played a tournament I kept my cool even though hitting irons and wedges bad. Holed 3 30ft putts. The information given is also great to read (very enjoyable). Most of his theories are so obvious that you probably have already been told some of them but never bothered or remebered to do them. Can't wait to buy the rest of his books there great.
the best book for improving your golf March 24, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
this book is the book to buy if you want to dramatically lower your scores. it might not improve your ball striking but it will let you think more effectively on the golf course and increase your enjoyment of the game. if you just buy one rotella book (although i recommend that you buy them all!!) you would probably be best with this one.
Believe in your golf again November 18, 2002

If you know you are a better golfer than your handicap suggests (and that's almost all golfers) then this is the book for you. If you want to have better focus and ensure that your scores are the best they can be (how many shots do you leave out on the course every round and replay later in your mind) then you will find this book most interesting. I myself took a couple of weeks to focus properly, however, I have found I am now more regularly focusing only on the target and the shot I am about to hit, rather than six holes in the future, with much better results. Also, at the driving range I've changed from hitting lots of drivers and long irons to picking out short targets and having a bit of fun with wedge shots etc. Bob recommends that the short game gets the most attention and that you really believe in your ability to get up and down from anywhere. You will believe in your ability after reading this book.
 Great book on sports psychology August 19, 2002

This book is really great for two reasons. First it gives a lot of practical techniques that can be applied by any golfer regardless of the handicap. The techniques are well-described and supported by really convincing examples from the authors large experience. The rules and techniques taught pass my own "sanity check" and I think this would apply to all golfers. Second, the book is interesting to read since it has a lot of really amazing anecdotes concerning some of the very best golfers of all times. I really think this book is worthwile to read and I am looking forward to apply the teachings in the field.
