This book by Kalliope Barlis is a voyage into the psychological shift necessary to become a proficient player and a golf training handbook. The book is designed to guide the reader through NLP-based mental processes, utilizing hands-on activities to help quickly improve one's game and develop the most incredible golfing skills. It covers every aspect, including mental preparation before the game, in-game concentration strategies, and post-game analysis. The book combines psychological coaching and sports training because the author believes in the ability of the mind to affect physical performance.
 
This book's emphasis on the power of vision and how it affects physical performance is appealing. It is powerfully demonstrated by the author's story of her six holes-in-one after using the tactics in the book for only a few months. For anybody interested in golf, the thorough explanation of how she imagined every stroke, the ball's trajectory, and the ensuing victory is instructive and inspirational. I suggest this book to coaches and sports psychologists who wish to use NLP in their training programs and to golfers who have reached a plateau in their game and are looking for a mental advantage.
 
She went into great depth on how she would see not just the ball's path and endpoint but also the sensory pleasures that would go along with it, such as the sensation of the swing, the sound of the ball hitting the sweet spot, and the sight of the ball flying through the air. By teaching the mind and body to perform as envisaged, this multisensory visualization approach helps engage the brain in a way that mirrors actual physical execution.
 
There was absolutely nothing to dislike in Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book. The author offers golfers drills such as "Anchoring Good Shots" to help them psychologically prepare and get better. Detailed directions on handling various falsehoods and practicing at home are included in the book, which focuses on successful practice tactics. She also advises sticking to a schedule, planning, and monitoring your progress.
 
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it's an excellent resource for golfers that offers doable strategies to enhance the game's mental and physical sides. Golfers may readily utilize the inspiration and guidance from the author's success stories and emphasis on visualizing. Furthermore, the book's format, broken into three sections, covers a wide range of golf-related topics, including attitude, practice techniques, and actual games. The book is a comprehensive resource for golfers of all skill levels.
