"Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" by Kalliope Barlis is a remarkable guide that uses Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to enhance golf's mental and physical aspects. Barlis, a professional golfer herself, divides the book into three main sections: using your brain, practicing correctly, and playing the game strategically. Each section is further broken down into chapters, making navigating and revisiting specific topics easy. This book is not just about improving your physical skills; it also focuses heavily on mental preparation and positivity, which Barlis believes are crucial for success in golf and other areas of life.

I was impressed by how Barlis incorporates her expertise in NLP to help golfers optimize their mental and physical performance. She emphasizes that anyone can become a great golfer by tapping into their cognitive resources and conditioning their mind to drive their body toward success. Barlis' writing style is clear and engaging, making complex concepts easy to understand and apply. The book is filled with practical exercises and tips that can be used on and off the course, ensuring readers can practice and improve their skills anywhere.

One aspect I particularly liked about this book is the emphasis on quality practice over quantity. Barlis stresses that mindless repetition won't lead to mastery; focused, reflective practice is critical. She provides numerous exercises that can be done at home, helping golfers develop their mental toughness and physical skills simultaneously. The book also includes motivational quotes and anecdotes that inspire and encourage readers to keep pushing themselves.

There was nothing in this book that I disliked. Barlis' approach is straightforward and practical, making it easy for golfers of all levels to benefit from her insights. The book is well-structured and logically organized, with each chapter building on the previous one. I found no errors in the text, indicating it was flawlessly edited.

I rate "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" 5 out of 5 stars. The book is a valuable resource for beginner and experienced golfers who want to improve their game quickly and effectively. Additionally, the techniques discussed can be applied to other areas of life, making this a valuable book for anyone looking to enhance their mental and physical performance. I highly recommend it to golf coaches, amateur golfers, and anyone interested in using NLP to achieve their goals.
