Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book, by Kalliope Barlis, is a book that contains valuable information about the game and how to play it. Kalliope, the author, explains in detail her method for effectively achieving noticeable improvement in the game of golf.

This book contains more than just information for those interested in playing golf, as it covers many aspects that can be decisive in improving people's mentality and being able to achieve their goals by training the mind. Kalliope shares, step by step, from her experience, her evolution thanks to her focused mind and the support of her mentor.

It is essential to highlight that the author thought about publishing this book under a pseudonym because she is a woman. However, she knew that she wanted to leave her mark, knowing that women can also stand out in this type of game.

Neurolinguistic programming is the fundamental basis on which Kalliope proposes to improve your game. I never expected to read about this topic in this book. I am amazed because it explains in such a simple and detailed way how to carry out practices aimed at improving the game of golf. Now, I feel like I can make a hole in one, even though I've never touched a golf club.

I loved this book and enjoyed reading it so much, especially the quotes. It has impeccable writing and also contains illustrations that are helpful in visualizing the written instructions. I learned new things that I would love for many more people to learn, too. Additionally, I want to highlight that I didn't find any negative aspects.

Likewise, I recommend this book to those who want to learn and improve their golf game. In addition to all those who want to learn about how to practice NLP. I am pleased to rate this book five out of five stars. In addition to everything I mentioned before, I want to express that it is a very easy book to read, with practical and detailed explanations.

Wow, who would have thought that this book would ultimately be about NLP. Are you going to take up golf now that you've read this book? Or will you apply what you learned about NLP to other areas of your life?

Bettny, You wrote a great review on this book. I also read the book. You are right when you mention that neurolinguistic programming concerns more than improving one's golf game. The same author wrote another book called Phobia Relief that uses neurolinguistic programming to eliminate phobias and fears. That being said, I must say that my golf game has improved with the exercise of training my mind to focus on the target, enlarge it, and to visualize the desired outcome. Have a great day. Keep on reviewing!

I like the fact that improving one's game and achieving goals depends alot in training their mind and just like you I never expected this book to talk about anything except golf. Reading your review, I realised there's alot to learn from this book. Thanks for the excellent review!

I had read this book, and I couldn't agree more with your perspective. The insights into improving mindset and achieving goals through mind training are truly valuable. The author's step-by-step sharing of her experience, coupled with observation on mind upgrades, adds a unique dimension. The book's exercises are indeed effective for personal growth. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this; it's been an enlightening read!

I have read Phobia relief book from the same author which is using this NLP technique to get rid of phobia or fear . I have been contemplating whether to read or not as this book too could be a repeat but your review is encouraging. Might just give this book a try.

I have always been fascinated by the game of golf, and I do not fully understand its rules. It appears from your review that the book simplifies some way to facilitate the process of learning it. A wonderfully written and refreshing review Bettny.

I have always been horrendously bad at golf. I have vivid memories of a time I hit a ball into a deer enclosure when I was younger. Sounds like this is a great guide to help people improve their game!

Wow, I did not expect for NLP to be used in a book about golf. That is quite impressive! I think it's great that the author is a woman and published this under her own name. You've reviewed this book beautifully, Bettny.

I haven't played golf before but I have always admired to play it. I would definitely grab this book just to learn from it and know how the game is actually played. Thanks for the informative review.

It is always interesting to me to read an opposite points of view. I never played golf, thought not all of the statements the author made did convinced me. Anyway, thank you for your honest review!
