"Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" by Kalliope Barlis is a comprehensive guide that blends practical golf techniques with the power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Barlis, a professional golfer and NLP expert shares her insights on improving one's golf game by focusing on physical skills and mental conditioning. The book is divided into three parts: using the brain, practicing correctly, and playing the game. Each part is further divided into chapters, making it easy for readers to revisit specific topics.

Barlis emphasizes the importance of mental preparation in golf, which she describes as the most difficult on the planet. She argues that anyone can become a great golfer by tapping into the mental resources stored in every cell of their body. Barlis also highlights that the brain does not distinguish between actual memories and those created through observation, which can be a powerful tool in improving one's game through NLP. The book's structure and Barlis' clear, straightforward writing style make it accessible to golfers of all skill levels.

One of the aspects I loved most about this book is how it simplifies complex concepts into digestible advice. Barlis' writing is concise and direct, making it easy to understand and apply her tips on the golf course. Her emphasis on the game's mental aspects, such as maintaining focus and positivity, is particularly inspiring. The exercises she provides are practical and can be done on and off the course, making it a versatile guide. The book's design, with subheadings and bullet points, further enhances its readability.

I also appreciated the practical exercises and mental techniques discussed in the book. Barlis' practice approach—focusing on quality over quantity—is enlightening. Her advice on creating positive mental images and reversing negative experiences is helpful for golf and life. The chapters on practicing are my favorites, as they offer a detailed roadmap for improving psychological and physical skills. I found no part of the book lacking; it is a well-rounded guide for golfers at any level.

There was nothing in "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" that I disliked. The book is written in plain language, follows a logical format, and delivers valuable information. I discovered no errors, which indicates that the book was perfectly edited. The editing quality is exceptional, adding to the book's professionalism and readability.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. It is a valuable resource for beginners and experienced golfers looking to improve their game. Beyond golf, the NLP techniques discussed can be applied to other areas of life, making it a worthwhile read for anyone interested in personal development. I highly recommend this book to golfers of all levels and anyone interested in using mental strategies to achieve their goals.
