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 compact, practical guide designed to be a golfer’s constant companion on the course. The book aims to transform golfers from weekend enthusiasts to professional-level players within two years by integrating neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) techniques with traditional golfing strategies. Barlis, leveraging her background and personal experience, offers readers a structured approach to mastering golf both mentally and physically.
Kalliope Barlis writes with a clear, engaging, and motivational style. Her instructions are direct and easy to follow, making complex concepts accessible to golfers at any level. The book is structured to encourage quick reading and frequent revisits, reflecting its practical use as a reference guide. Barlis’s tone is encouraging and supportive, instilling confidence in her readers while maintaining a sense of realism about the challenges of improving one’s golf game.
The book is filled with actionable advice and exercises that golfers can immediately apply to their practice routines and games. These exercises are designed to enhance both the physical and mental aspects of golf, ensuring a holistic approach to improvement. Barlis effectively integrates NLP techniques, which are known for their efficacy in behavioral change and mental conditioning. This unique approach helps golfers develop a stronger mental game, which is crucial for consistent performance under pressure. As suggested in the title, the book is small enough to fit in a golf bag, making it a handy reference during practice sessions and games. Its concise nature ensures that readers can quickly find and review the information they need.
Due to its concise format, the book sometimes sacrifices depth for brevity. Readers looking for an exhaustive exploration of certain techniques or concepts may need to supplement their reading with more detailed resources. Some readers might find the repetitive emphasis on certain key points a bit monotonous. While repetition can reinforce learning, it may not appeal to everyone. The heavy focus on NLP might not resonate with every golfer, particularly those unfamiliar with or skeptical of psychological techniques in sports.
As someone who has delved into various golfing guides, I found "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" to be refreshingly straightforward and practically useful. The emphasis on mental conditioning resonated with me, as I believe golf is as much a mental game as it is a physical one. Barlis’s approach to using NLP techniques to improve focus and performance is innovative and has noticeably enhanced my confidence in the course. The portability of the book is another feature I appreciate—having it in my golf bag means I can quickly refer to it for a boost of motivation or a quick tip before a challenging hole. It is exceptionally well-edited. There are no grammatical errors in the book. I rate the book 5 out of 5.
In summary, "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" is an excellent resource for golfers looking to elevate their game through practical exercises and mental conditioning. While it may not cover every aspect of golf in exhaustive detail, its unique approach and motivational style make it a valuable addition to any golfer’s toolkit.
