Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book by Kalliope Barlis is a comprehensive guide designed to elevate a golfer's game through mental strategies, effective practice routines, and precise playing techniques. Barlis emphasizes the crucial role of the mind in golfing success, highlighting the importance of positive thinking and mental clarity. She shares her journey and the influence of her coach, Chuck Hogan, who introduced her to NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), transforming how golfers perceive and approach the game. By fostering a focused and aware mindset, golfers can reduce stress and enhance their performance.

The practice routines outlined in the book maximize improvement and efficiency, advocating mindful practice where each shot is an opportunity to learn and refine skills. Barlis encourages taking risks during practice, reflecting on each shot's positive aspects, and practicing from varied angles and distances to enhance muscle memory and adaptability. She provides a structured plan for setting specific goals, evaluating their impact on life, and developing a concrete action plan to achieve and maintain them, ensuring practice is purposeful and aligned with improvement objectives.

When playing golf, Barlis focuses on strategic execution and precision, planning each shot with a clear target to get the ball into the hole in the fewest attempts. The book advises setting a specific score goal before each round, using visualization techniques, and employing a unique approach to the scorecard, tracking fairways hit, greens in regulation, and putts while focusing on positive outcomes to reinforce good habits.

Kalliope Barlis offers a compelling guide for golfers looking to enhance their game. Barlis' writing style is engaging and insightful, seamlessly blending practical advice with motivational insights. Her clear and encouraging tone makes complex concepts accessible, while her structured approach to mental strategies, practice routines, and playing techniques ensures that readers can easily apply her guidance to their own game. The book's focus on holistic improvement is delivered with both expertise and passion, making it an invaluable resource for golfers at any level.

In conclusion, Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book provides a holistic approach to golfing success by emphasizing the power of the mind, the importance of mindful and varied practice, and the necessity of strategic play. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to elevate their golf game and enjoy the sport to its fullest.

The book was perfectly edited, containing no errors of any kind, and is suitable for golfers of all levels. There was nothing to dislike about this book, so I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
