“Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book” by Kalliope Barlis is an essential read for any golfer. This compact guide combines practical golf tips with sports psychology, making it a handy reference during practice and play. Barlis, who became a pro golfer in just two years, shares her sound advice through humorous stories and quotes from coaches and famous players. The book outlines a new approach to fine-tuning golfing skills through sections that incorporate NLP and practical strategies. Divided into three parts on the mental side of the game and the physicality involved, the book is fascinating and will provide many helpful tips for any avid golfer. Barlis’s writing style conveys enthusiasm and new ideas about the significance of the mind and how it is a factor in perfecting golf.

Kalliope Barlis talks about how neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) can particularly help to improve the performance of a golfer through reprogramming. The book provides information about a number of aspects of golf while highlighting the issues of attention and efficiency during practice. Have you ever read an encyclopedic review for enhancing the practice and the play? The main concerns are focus and effective preparations before the game. The suggestions mentioned in the book have self-assessment questions, which can help golfers intervene in case they are experiencing any problems. It also emphasizes the need to exercise some degree of order toward the realization of great feats. Organized in a straightforward and concise manner, this is an ideal guide for any golfer intrigued by improving his or her performance on the course, whether the reader is a beginner or a more advanced athlete.


One of the greatest advantages is the fact that it covers almost all the possible aspects of effective golf improvement. In the analysis of the course, Barlis successfully integrates an equal ratio of mental and physical exercise in a way that seems to understand that golf is not just a game of skill. The applications of NLP techniques are quite interesting and appealing to the readers, where they get to know how to use their mental capabilities to improve their performance. Thus, the book not only helps the reader improve their attitude towards the game and skills on the golf field but can also be classified as a self-improvement self-help book. I like that it covers all types of golf players, ranging from amateurs who need some advice on how to go about it to experienced golfers who require some help with tips on how to improve it. Additionally, the clear and straightforward written and photo descriptions make it easy to understand. I found no dislikes about this book. It was exceptionally well edited.

The book’s accessible style and actionable tips make it an excellent companion for golfers aiming to improve their game and achieve better results. I highly recommend it for golfers of all skill levels. The neuro-linguistic programming principles discussed can also be applied to other sports or situations. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
