First published in 1923 Leslie Schon's The psychology of golf was aimed at improving the readers mental game in golf. Though written many years ago now, few books have equaled this volume in explaining how the mind one of the most important areas in the game of golf and how psychological control and techniques can improve your game as much, and perhaps more, than improved physical techniques. Golf pro Leslie Schon shows, in fascinating detail, just how control of the brain game can do wonders for your golf game.
