Kalliope Barlis's Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book is a welcoming and accessible guide to golf, perfect for those new to the sport. Barlis, who remarkably went from a golf beginner to a pro in just two years, offers insightful advice on mental approach and practical skills to improve your game. Suitable for golfers of all levels, this book provides practical tips and strategies to help you enhance your skills and excel on the course, regardless of your experience.

In golf, mental preparation is key, as your mindset and thoughts before each shot greatly influence your outcome. The author suggests that harnessing positive thoughts and memories can lead to successful shots. To excel in golf, one must develop sensory awareness, practice various techniques, and set goals. The book highlights the importance of deliberate practice and setting objectives to enhance one's golf skills and achieve improvement.

I was thoroughly impressed with how this book brought the game of golf to life with vivid explanations that made it easy to comprehend, even for those new to the sport. The author's engaging writing style truly stood out, conveying a clear and straightforward message that resonated with me on a deeper level. What struck me most was the revelation that golf is not just a physical activity but also a mental one, requiring a harmonious balance between internal and external aspects. Prior to reading this book, I was unaware of the precise techniques and club positioning required for a perfect hit, but the author's guidance has since given me the confidence to improve my game. Overall, this book has provided me with a fresh and exciting perspective on golf, along with invaluable insights and practical tips for enhancement. The only negative thing I noticed about this book was a few grammatical errors, but that didn’t take away from the joy I derived from reading it. The author's intention to create a quick and concise guide has been achieved, and the techniques discussed can be applied far beyond the golf course, offering valuable lessons in achieving success and minimizing setbacks. I wholeheartedly award this book a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating for its refreshing outlook and emphasis on mental improvement. I highly recommend this book primarily to golfers who are new to the game or have some experience but are still refining their skills, as it provides an excellent foundation for understanding and improving their golf game. While it may not appeal to everyone, this concise guide is undoubtedly a valuable resource for golfers of all levels seeking to unlock their full potential.
