The Golfer's Mind

Play to Play Great

About this book

With his signature “phenomenal” (The New York Times), golf expert and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Bob Rotella offers an eye-opening guide to overcoming the mental challenges of golf.

The Golfer’s Mind was actually first suggested by Davis Love, Jr.—Davis Love III’s dad—who encouraged Dr. Bob Rotella to write an instruction book on golf’s mental challenges, organized by topic. Love thought that golfers could keep the book with them, or at least nearby, at all times. When they needed a refresher on a certain issue, they could consult the book, read for a few minutes, and take away solid guidance regarding their difficulties. Rotella heard what Love said, and twenty years later, The Golfer’s Mind is that book. From his Ten Commandments (Commandment I. Play to play great. Don’t play not to play poorly) to just about any topic a golfer might imagine, this is the ideal way for players to get all of Rotella's teachings. He covers topics including:

-Butterflies

-Practicing to Play Great

-The Rhythm of the Game

-Routine

-Setbacks

-How Winning Happens

In the perfect format for the busy golfer, The Golfer’s Mind is the concise and convenient quick-reference tool to appeal to Rotella’s millions of followers and is sure to become a golf classic.
