Kalliope Barlis, in her book Play Golf Better Faster: The Golf Bag Book, writes that all the resources we humans search for are within us and not any golf equipment, as she writes that the most important golf equipment is the mind.

The author made it clear that people mistake the universe and us as two different things; she writes that we are the universe and our thoughts are what make a better golfer, as what you think about is what you do. In thoughts, one can have good and bad parts, and those thoughts bring feelings; good thoughts bring good feelings, while bad thoughts bring bad feelings. The author made it known that to be a great golfer, you should think about the great shots you've fired, and it brings good feelings to you as a golfer that you make good shots, thoughts becoming a reality.

It is advised that every golf shot should be treated as a good shot, as even the bad shots have something to be learned from, which prevents future bad shots. It is also said that the brain cannot tell the difference between a memory of something done and an imagination, so a golfer can use his or her imagination and turn it into reality.

I love how the author told her readers which handed golfer this book was written for and how she said that the golfer whose hands aren't emphasized should use theirs for practice. 
My dislike of this book is the use of initialisms that the author refused to expand. This can make it difficult for beginners on the golf course to understand the meaning of the various initials used in this book.

This book is recommended to golfers who want to increase their skill in the game of golf. It is also a great thing the author did by adding drawings that can assist the golfer in making easier practice. I also commend the author for the flawless editing in this book, as I didn't spot any errors. For this reason, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I applaud Kalliope Barlisin writing this book because I had no understanding in playing golf, I thought it was just swinging and hitting the ball.

So I've come to realise through this review that even golf have to do with the status of one mind so as to increase the focus.

I remember reading books when I was a child, I would always want to pick the books with pictures on them. I'm glad Kalliope Barlis considered this and added it to her book to make learning easier.

I've read this book and I agree with your opinion. The author makes this book easy to understand, concise, and packed with beginner's guide to golf. They added pictures that help us visualize golf-related concepts. Thank you for writing this review. What a great writing, and what a great book, isn't it?
Your Sincerely
