"Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" by Kalliope Barlis is a remarkable guide that transcends the boundaries of traditional golf instruction. The book introduces readers to the fascinating world of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), demonstrating how harnessing the power of our senses and thoughts can drastically enhance our performance on the golf course.

Barlis adeptly emphasizes that the crux of improvement lies in our mental approach. The book firmly advocates positive thinking and provides valuable insights into memory control, enabling golfers to focus on the good memories while leaving behind the bad. This shift in mindset can be transformative not only in golf but also in life.

One of the book's standout aspects is its emphasis on the role of imagination and desire in golf mastery. Barlis skillfully guides readers on how to combine these elements to visualize and achieve their desired outcomes, fostering a sense of self-efficacy on the course.

A fundamental departure from the conventional approach to golf, the book discredits the notion that repetitive ball-hitting leads to mastery. Instead, it underscores the importance of quality practice. It highlights that improvement depends on how one practices and not merely the quantity of practice.

The book further delves into 19 essential skills that pave the way to becoming a professional golfer, providing a comprehensive roadmap for aspiring players. Barlis instructs readers to quickly grasp the information and apply it during their golf sessions, rendering the book an engaging and readily applicable guide.

Barlis's observation that people often neglect to upgrade their minds, despite constant updates to electronic equipment, is a valuable insight. The book's exercises effectively teach readers how to optimize their minds for personal growth and success.

What I liked most about this book was its brevity and precision. It conveys its intended message succinctly and effectively. Furthermore, the inclusion of illustrations towards the end of the book aids in better comprehension. As for the editing part, the book is impeccably edited. I couldn't find any mistakes in this book. And there is nothing I dislike about this book or want to change. So, considering all those points mentioned above, I rate this book 5 out of 5.

In conclusion, "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" by Kalliope Barlis is not only a valuable resource for golf enthusiasts but also a guide that imparts essential life skills. Highly recommended for anyone interested in golf or seeking to master the game, this book is a concise yet powerful tool for personal growth and improved performance on and off the golf course.
