Several books have been written to help people sharpen their golf-playing skills. Only a handful give a more practical, actionable, and feasible guide. Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book by Kalliope Barlis is one such book. The book is divided into three parts.

The author started by advising the reader to eliminate the mindset of golf being the most difficult sport. She opined that reprogramming one's mind is the best way to master golf. To buttress her point, she spoke about adapting Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to one's game to improve performance through thinking. She went a step further to suggest exercises that help the mind develop the ability to remember the right things; excelling at golf becomes easier when one can remember the things that get the right results.

The author discussed practicing and playing golf in the second and third parts. Unlike other authors that offer theoretical insights, Kalliope Barlis presented practical and actionable techniques for practicing and playing golf. The book provided a wealth of helpful advice, ranging from fundamental grip and swing techniques to more sophisticated course management techniques. Tips were also given for lies such as the sidehill, uphill, and downhill.

Although I concur with the majority of her points, I don't align with her view of the importance of quantity in practice. She opined that quality, rather than quantity of practice, is more vital. However, I think that the amount of practice is still crucial. While some people apprehend things easily, others require more practice before mastering a skill or sport.

One of the things I liked most about the book was the clear and concise writing style. The author simplified complex golf concepts and presented them in an easy-to-apprehend manner. This unique attribute makes it a valuable resource for improving one's skills and understanding the game. Another feature of the book I liked was the provision of illustrations as part of the appendix. The images help internalize some of the techniques and insights discussed in the book. I have to commend the editing done to this book; I didn't spot any errors. Because of these attributes, I give it a 5 out of 5 stars rating.

I recommend Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book to any golfer, regardless of their skill level; there is something for every golfer in this book. This is a must-read if you're looking to take your golf game to the next level.

This is not my type of self help book, so I’ll pass. The author is right. The first thing to successfully learning a skill or sport is to change their mindset. Great review!

[Amy Luman]

I probably won’t be reading this book, not because you didn’t review it well, you did! I dislike self-help books in general and I don’t play golf, nor do I have any desire to.

Hi,
Does/did the book contain any profanity?

[Hager Salem]

I agree that the quantity of practice is important, but the quality is really much more important. May be that's what the writer wanted to address.

[Jay_shon03]

No, it doesn't.

[Moo Reny]

I'm not a fan of golf neither do I play the sports but this book will be hand and very useful to lovers of golf. Thanks for a great review and congratulations on your published review.

[Thompson Grace]

Well though I don't know if I enjoy golf as a sport because I haven't pick any interest on it. This book seem to enlightened and educates on the everything about golf as a sport. I love your review.

[Jane Ogwang]

I like practical books, and I'll probably be recommending this to my golfer-friends. Thanks for the glowing recommendation.

[Judy O]

I've never really understood the process of golf- moving balls into a distant hole. From your review, the author seems passionate about golf and I'd like to read this book to know more about the sport. Interesting review.
