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.]
Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book by Kalliope Barlis is a must-have for players looking to improve their game quickly. This little manual, intended to fit in your golf bag, has a wealth of suggestions, strategies, and exercises geared at transforming weekend gamers into good players in a very short amount of time. Barlis employs Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to improve mental focus and performance, giving this book a unique combination of psychological insight and practical golf guidance.
Barlis' writing is straightforward, direct, and motivating. She effectively mixes technical golf instruction and NLP principles, making complicated topics understandable and actionable. Her style is conversational, as if she is there with you on the course, providing personal insights and support. This format not only makes the book more entertaining, but it also allows readers to quickly implement the teachings.
The book is full of practical tasks that may be done both on and off the course. These workouts are intended to rewire the golfer's mentality, allowing them to approach the game with a fresh, more effective perspective. The format is ideal for rapid reads and simple referencing. Barlis recommends that readers carry the book in their golf bag as a quick source of inspiration and assistance. The application of NLP principles to improve golf skills is a unique and important contribution. Barlis clearly demonstrates how changing mental processes may result in considerable increases in physical performance. The personal experiences and motivational phrases sprinkled throughout the book offer a personal touch that motivates and boosts confidence.
Some readers might find the repeated emphasis on certain NLP concepts and exercises a bit redundant. While repetition aids learning, a more varied presentation could enhance engagement. The book is tailored more towards beginners and intermediate players, which might limit its usefulness for those already well-versed in advanced techniques. The book relies heavily on text explanations, and the inclusion of more diagrams or photos could help clarify some of the instructions, especially for visual learners.
As someone who is always seeking ways to enhance my performance in all aspects of life, I found "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" to be an excellent resource. Barlis's approach to combining the mental and physical aspects of golf is consistent with my conviction in the importance of thinking. The drills are not only useful but also powerful, motivating me to rethink my game and approach each match with new confidence.
One of the aspects I particularly enjoyed is how Barlis emphasizes the idea that improvement is not just about mechanics but also about the secrets of being a great golfer. This perspective aligns well with my own experiences and has reinforced my commitment to developing a holistic approach to the game. The portability of the book means I can carry it with me and use it as a quick reference during practice sessions, ensuring that the key principles are always fresh in my mind. It is exceptionally well-edited. There are no grammatical errors in the book. I rate the book 5 out of 5.
To summarize, "Play Golf Better Faster: The Little Golf Bag Book" is a must-read for every golfer who wants to improve their game quickly and efficiently. Kalliope Barlis brings a new and original method to golf instruction, making it approachable, practical, and profoundly transformative.
