“Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book” by Kalliope Barlis is a comprehensive guide that offers a fresh perspective on improving your golf game. The book is divided into three key sections: Using Your Brain, Practicing Golf, and Playing Golf. Barlis introduces readers to neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and its application in golf, aiming to enhance mental and physical performance. The book promises to transform your game by focusing on mindset and practical exercises rather than swing mechanics.

The book's first part delves into the mental aspects of golf, emphasizing the importance of a positive mindset and emotional management. Barlis explains using NLP to improve focus, confidence, and overall mental strength. The second part provides practical exercises and drills that address common technical issues, such as grip and swing mechanics, focusing on quality practice over quantity. The final section offers strategies for actual gameplay, aiming to help golfers reduce their strokes and improve their overall performance. Barlis’ step-by-step approach is designed to be accessible to beginners and experienced golfers alike.

One of the things I loved about this book is its emphasis on the mental component of golf. Barlis provides detailed explanations on managing negative thoughts and visualizing success, which are crucial skills for any golfer. Including practical exercises throughout the book allows readers to engage with the content and apply the principles discussed actively. The author’s writing style is clear and straightforward, avoiding technical jargon that could overwhelm beginners. I also appreciated the illustrative diagrams and sketches that helped me visualize the instructions.

There was nothing I disliked about this book. The instructions are clear and actionable, and the author’s dedication to helping readers improve is evident. Even though I am new to golf, I found the book to be a valuable resource to refer to as I start playing. The only minor drawback is that some instructions might seem complex to complete for novices, but with practice, they become manageable.

I rate this book five out of five stars. I found zero errors in this book, indicating that it is excellently edited. The writing is precise and engaging, making the book an easy read. I highly recommend “Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book” to anyone interested in improving their golf game, especially those seeking a mental edge. This book is suitable for both beginners who are just starting and experienced golfers seeking to refine their skills. It’s a valuable addition to any golfer’s library, providing practical techniques and a positive approach to the game.
