Every golfer should possess Kalliope Barlis's “Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book” to enhance their golf skills more effectively and rapidly. This guidebook, a blend of training manual and sports psychology, proves to be beneficial. It stands as a great complement to her initial work of the same name and is a valuable addition to the golf bag for easy access during practice and competition.

At times humorous, Barlis incorporates quotes and anecdotes from coaches and well-known athletes. She turned pro just a few months after deciding, instilling confidence in the wisdom of her advice. Barlis skillfully emphasizes that our mental attitude holds the key to progress. Golfers can focus on positive memories and discard negative ones by employing the book's insightful advice on memory regulation and robust support for positive thinking. This mindset has the potential to transform both your game and your life.

The first section of the book delves into the distinction between the subconscious and the brain. Barlis maintains that modifying neural signals to the brain and regulating which ideas enter the mind are possible through thoughts originating there. The intended outcomes can be achieved by practicing the straightforward mind-training activities provided. The second section covers golf practice, emphasizing various activities. Recognizing the universal principle that improvement comes with practice, Barlis underscores its significance. The final section, naturally, delves into the intricacies of playing golf.

What appealed to me most was the book's concise and impactful length. It effectively showcases the author's experience and remarkable precision. While the book caters to golfers, the fundamental strategies for improvement can be applied to any activity. The author has thoughtfully crafted this book to help readers enhance their game-related thinking.

I found nothing to dislike in this book; I genuinely enjoyed it until the very end. It was professionally edited with zero errors. Therefore, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. If you have any interest in golf, I highly recommend this book. Even golfing professionals will find much to take away from this book, making it a terrific resource for anyone who appreciates the game and wants to delve deeper into its nuances.
