This book is for every aspiring golfer and for those in a position to influence their development in the game. It includes insights you won't find anywhere else. It focuses on the motivational factors that directly impact your mental game and your golf swing/stroke. It identifies the most common motivational obstacles to getting better and playing better. The principles are based on the author's 25 year quest to understand the science of achievement and 20 years of utilizing these principles and witnessing them transform golfers' experience and success in the game. It includes commentary on Rory McILroy, Brooks Koepka, and Rickie Fowler, explains how the mind actually works, gives a new and different analysis of the nature-nurture-agency issue regarding "talent," introduces a new psychological approach to shot selection and course strategy, shares new ideas on the psychology of practice, and focuses on the factors that enable golfers to play with freedom. The golf industry has the goal to grow the game. In order for this to happen, golfers will need to grow IN the game. I hope this book helps toward that end.
