Review of Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book
[Following is a volunteer review of "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" by Kalliope Barlis.]
Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book by Kalliope Barlis is a comprehensive guide that aims to transform the average weekend golfer into a professional player through the application of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques and a deep understanding of the mental aspect of the game. The book is divided into three parts, focusing on using the brain to improve golfing skills, practising golf with a purpose, and strategies for playing golf effectively.
It includes exercises for mental conditioning, practical tips for physical gameplay, and life examples that inspire a holistic approach to golf. The author's journey from a novice to a pro golfer in just two years serves as a testament to the effectiveness of the methods discussed. This book stands out for its unique approach to golf improvement, emphasizing the mental game as much as the physical. Overall, the book's structure is meticulously designed to guide a golfer through a transformative journey, leveraging the principles of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to enhance performance.
What I like about this book is its unique approach and practical structure, which are designed to be user-friendly and accessible on the golf course. The writer formatted the book to serve as a quick reference guide that golfers can easily consult during practice or play. The division into three parts—Using Your Brain, Practicing Golf, and Playing Golf—was really helpful and allowed one to focus on specific areas of the game. For instance, in the "Practicing Golf" section, Barlis provides detailed instructions on how to handle various lies, such as sidehill, uphill, and downhill, which are practical scenarios golfers face on the course. The inclusion of an appendix with additional exercises and a section for tracking progress on a scorecard shows the author's understanding of the golfer's needs during practice sessions and actual play. This thoughtful organization ensures that readers can quickly find the advice or exercise they need at the moment, making the book not just a read but a practical tool that enhances the golfing experience. I recommend this book to aspiring golfers looking for a fresh mental approach to the game and to individuals interested in applying NLP techniques to enhance their performance in various disciplines.
There is nothing to dislike about the book; in fact, I love the book's innovative integration of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques with golf instruction. This approach is not commonly found in traditional golfing manuals, which often focus solely on the physical aspects of the game. However the author emphasizes the power of the mind in achieving golfing excellence, offering a holistic approach to improving their game. For example, she introduces the concept of "Anchoring Good Shots," where golfers are taught to create a mental and physical cue to recall the positive emotions and sensations associated with successful shots. This technique is designed to help golfers replicate those successful shots more consistently. There are several such instances throughout the book. These NLP strategies encourage golfers to harness their mental faculties to enhance their physical game, making the book a valuable resource for those looking to elevate their play through cognitive techniques.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because it is an innovative and user-friendly guide that integrates Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques with golf instruction. The practical structure of the book, divided into three parts, allows one to easily navigate through specific areas of their game, whether it's mental preparation, practice strategies, or actual gameplay. The inclusion of detailed instructions for handling various lies and additional exercises in the appendix enhances its practicality and usefulness for golfers. Moreover, the unique focus on the power of the mind in achieving golfing excellence sets this book apart from traditional golf manuals, offering a holistic approach to improving one's game. The integration of NLP techniques, such as "Anchoring Good Shots," provides valuable tools to enhance their mental focus and replicate successful shots consistently. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
