This book is a fast read. It is a handbook that is not just about mechanics; it’s about the secrets of being a great golfer. The author started by clarifying that people spend more money on golf equipment than time spent on their game, saying that the most important golf equipment is your mind. 

The author clarified that people think golf is about rote learning; they say that the more you do something, the better you are at doing it. This is true only if the way you are doing it promotes mastery. The author proceeded by saying that people who keep doing the same thing keep their experiences familiar, while people who do things differently learn the most and improve as a result. It’s the quality of practice that makes a difference. The author clarified that you should aim your brain to gain what you want, saying that imagination is the source of true magic when coupled with the desire to play your best. Every shot is a good shot because you will learn something from every shot. Ask yourself what could be done to make this shot a better one. 

This handbook was designed to be kept in your golf bag so that you are reminded of what to focus on while you are practicing, while you are playing, before you start and how you can warm up your brain to get better results faster so that you can continue to improve while you are playing. This handbook included material that wasn’t included in the larger book that preceded it. That book's called Play Golf Better Faster: The Classic Guide to Optimizing Your Game and Building Your Best Fast. I recommend reading the larger book first, then reading this handbook. I have read the larger book and it was really helpful. You may check out my review of the larger book. 

Finally, the author advised that when you think better, you feel better and then you do things in better ways. Likewise, when you change the way you feel, you change the way you think, which changes how you do things for the better. After all, it’s all about having a better quality of life.

My rating for this book is 5 out of 5, as it is a quick-read handbook that the reader can do a quick scan for whenever needed before practicing or playing. It contained illustrations to better help the reader. The author's writing style is easy to follow. There is nothing that I did not like about this handbook.
