"Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" imparts numerous practical drills and methodologies aimed at assisting golfers in both physical readiness and mental conditioning for enhanced performance on the course. An instance of such an activity is "Stepping into Action," designed to assist golfers in imagining and embodying their aspired performance, effectively bridging the disconnect between mental preparation and physical implementation. It promotes the practice with defined intentionality and reflective consideration upon each shot as a means for perpetual learning and enhancement. Moreover, the publication explores the application of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) for augmenting performance. Strategies including anchoring successful shots to forge affirmative recollections and employing the Swish Pattern to supplant negative memories with superior ones are elaborately covered. These approaches facilitate in reformulating cognitive patterns to ameliorate emotional responses linked to golf, thereby improving overall performance.


The book's first section titled "Using Your Brain" is a revealment, it underlines the deep interconnectivity between universe and golfer. This mentality puts stress on diminishing tension and delighting in the process of learning, standing as an invigorating divergence from conventional golf teachings.

The secondary segment, entitled "Practicing Golf," is the juncture at which Barlis's proficiency comes to the forefront conspicuously. She propounds an emphasis on quality as opposed to quantity, directing readers meticulously through particular regimens for the acquisition of proficiency in various shot types, inclusive of the frequently problematic sidehill, uphill, and downhill stances. Her counsel regarding home-based practice sessions, employing mental visualization preceding slumber, and emulating professional athletes is exceedingly beneficial for those endeavoring to enhance their skills notwithstanding their absence from the golf course.

Within the concluding segment termed "Playing Golf," Barlis elucidates upon strategies, both intrinsic and physical, aimed at preserving concentration and heightening proficiency on the course.

Barlis’s book is not a mechanics book but about a complete shift in the way the golfer approaches the shot. The attractively presented, practical and well-argued article ‘Play Golf Better Faster’ is a perfect way to ensure that any golfer’s arsenal is fully stocked.

In the end, The editing quality of the book is beyond doubt free from any mistakes, after going through it in detail. It is a great work that addresses and resolves all issues concerning the sections and chapters. The overall quality of this is, without doubt, the attribute that has led me to award this product a well-deserving 5 out of 5 stars.
