“Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book” by Kalliope Barlis is a helpful and insightful guide for anyone interested in improving their golf skills, regardless of their current level. The book combines practical advice and psychological strategies to enhance both the mental and physical aspects of playing golf. The author emphasizes the importance of mental preparation along with physical practice.

The author explains the use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, which help players develop a positive mental approach, which helps in overcoming frustrations and improving consistency. Other than that, the author emphasizes the importance of mastering the basics rather than focusing solely on intricate mechanics. Barlis shares inspiring stories from professional golfers to show how they stay focused and avoid negative thoughts while playing. These real-life examples give readers useful insights into the mental strategies of top golfers. The book also offers practical tips to help golfers improve their mental skills, making the game simpler to understand and play. The author explains everything in a clear and easy way, making the book helpful for both new and experienced golfers.

What I liked most about this book was its emphasis on mental aspects rather than practical insights. The techniques shared by the author to control our bad memories and thoughts and focus on positive experiences are not only helpful in games but also in other aspects of our lives. Even though I'm not a golf player, I got many valuable insights from this book.

Overall, the book is concise, easy to read, and flawlessly edited. There's nothing I dislike about this book, so I rate it 5 out of 5. The author suggests keeping the book in your golf bag for quick inspiration and reading it daily for twenty-one days to fully absorb the lessons. This blend of practical tips, psychological techniques, and motivational content makes the book essential for anyone looking to improve their game and enjoy golf more fully.
