Ten Commandments of Mindpower Golf, The: No-Nonsense Strategies for Mastering Your Mental Game (Electronic book text)

How often have you heard that "the game of golf is all between the ears" or a golfer "has a good head for the game," or a player is "a mental case"? Well, there's no question that golf is a very mental game and to play well requires great concentration, focus, relaxation, the will to win, control of ones nerves, being in the present moment coping with pressure, emotional control, confidence, etc...the list goes on and on. There is no question that the most successful golfers are the ones who manage to win the battle within themselves and who master the mental game. The Ten Commandments of Mindpower Golf is a compilation of ten basic strategies that help to improve your focus and attitude on (and off) the golf course. These ten strategies are action plans for success, and are based on author Dr. Robert K. Winters' years of counseling touring professionals, top amateurs, collegiate players, and junior golfers. By following these Ten Commandments, and adhering to the lesson points within, Dr. Winters believes that the reader can show up at the golf course armed with a clear understanding of how to plan one's strategy and to think effectively.; But perhaps more importantly, the lessons imparted in these commandments will help you develop the emotional and mental toughness that will allow you to shoot lower scores and provide for a more enjoyable playing experience. In simple, easy-to-follow prose, free of the vague philosophical jargon inhabiting many of the other books on mental golf, Dr. Roberts carefully guides you through each individual commandment. Each chapter also includes a "Mind Stuff" segment, which enables the reader to use the book as a personal workbook, outlining personal assignments that serve to heighten the learning experience. Each chapter also ends with a short summary section, to help the reader review key points of emphasis.
