Review of Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book
[Following is a volunteer review of "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" by Kalliope Barlis.]
Having read "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" by Kalliope Barlis, I found it to be an incredibly insightful and well-crafted guide. Despite not being a golfer myself, I was impressed by how easy the book was to follow, and I found it packed with valuable lessons that extend far beyond the sport. Barlis’ unique approach, which emphasizes the mental side of the game, truly sets this book apart from others in the same genre. The way she intertwines Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with golf strategies is particularly eye-opening, offering readers a fresh perspective on both the mental and physical aspects of golf.
From the very beginning, Barlis makes it clear that your mindset is just as important as your physical skills on the course. One concept that really resonated with me was her technique for mentally erasing bad shots. By visualizing mistakes getting smaller and smaller until they disappear, she teaches readers to focus on future success rather than dwelling on past errors. This is a powerful lesson that can be applied to many areas of life, not just to golf. It is a method that can help anyone let go of setbacks and move forward with confidence, whether on the golf course or in other endeavors.
The story of Barlis becoming a professional golfer in just two years was particularly inspiring as well. Her personal journey added a lot of credibility to her advice, making her strategies and insights feel more authentic and relatable. Her rapid rise to success demonstrates that her techniques are not just theoretical but proven in practice.
In addition to the mental strategies, the book offers practical tips that are easy to implement. Barlis’ 15:5 practice formula, where you practice for 15 minutes and then review for 5 minutes, has changed how I think about learning new skills. It is a simple yet effective method that encourages thoughtful reflection on what you have just practiced. This approach can be applied to mastering any skill, not just golf, making the book relevant to anyone looking to improve in any area of life.
I also appreciated how well-edited the book was. Each chapter flows smoothly into the next, making it a pleasure to read from start to finish. Barlis’ clear writing style and concise explanations make complex concepts easy to understand. I genuinely enjoyed every part of it, and for that reason, I am giving it a perfect 5-star rating. Whether you are a golfer or not, this book has something valuable to offer everyone, providing insights that go beyond the golf course and into everyday life.
