Golf is a Game of Confidence by Bob Rotella (2004-06-07) Paperback – 6 Jun 2004

I've got all of Dr. Bob's books, his guidance is absolutely brilliant, but if I were to give any of them a miss - it would be this one. I know this was one of his earlier ones, and he's impoved a great deal, but following the success of 'Golf is not a game of perfect' this is disappointing. It is simply a series of stories about people (well known and unknown) that Bob has dealt with. The explanations and learning points are a bit obscure and the writing is far less rivetting than his other books - it's the only book of his that I found hard work. Keep this in perspective; we are comparing it to some brilliant books, but in a good round, it's his only poor shot. As he himself describes, he will have taken the learning from it, forgotten it, and carried on to play a superb game.

Not as good as golf is not a game of perfect. Not as long for a start and goes into too much detail about individual rounds of the professionals he's referring too. The stories are very interesting and give an insight into the professionals mind and their own mental frailties. However it could have gone into less drawn out detail and covered more ground on the mental side and more stories.wish it was longer but don't we all?!

This book puts things into perspective. If you are struggling with your game this is a must read. Not everything is to do with the technical aspect of your swing

Great read would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their golf game.

It's a good read but based as many of these books are, on other peoples usually pros experiences, which are in some cases difficult to relate my own needs to. There are however some useful quotes which have helped me get to grips with a total loss of form & how lessons & course play should interact

Apparently is rubbish I gave as a present but told boring and just about other people's games

Great quality

Eighteen examples of a range of golfers and how they met the challenges presented to them. Easy to apply the same principles for any club golfer.

I;ve read a few golf books and this is one of the best. I had the book and decided to buy the cd. It is a perfect listen when i;m travelling in the car by myself.

Excellent read - don't hesitate to purchase it.

Un must pour golfeur. En bon état.

Excelentes

Item as described. Cheaper than bookstore! Thank you.

Dr. Bob Rotella erläutert ausführlich und begründet logisch die Bedeutung der Psychologie und der Einstellung zum Spiel im Golf. Es genügt nicht, die Technik zu beherrschen.

No nonsense, great advice!

Love it!

この作者の本を４冊読みました。どれも言っていることは実質的には同じですが、この本に彼の教えが最もよくまとまっていると思います。

Good tead'

It is no coincidence that Dr. Bob Rotella works with many of the great PGA tour players on a regular basis. In this audio he puts together some of his greatest thoughts on how to mentally approach the game.What I like best is how specific he gets. What to think about when walking down the fairway or as you are getting ready to putt.For single digit handicappers trying to take it to the next level, the mental game becomes a very significant factor (often even more important than the physical). Dr. Rotella gives you a great foundation in these 2 discs."Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course - the distance between your ears." ~Bobby Jones

Easy to read in small segments. The stories are a bit repetitive in terms of reminding the reader how to maintain confidence by following a repeatable process. None of the stories was familiar to me, so I enjoyed almost all of them. Especially like the stories about amateur golfers with a handicap over a 2! Easy to relate to those stories.

The author does an excellent job of demonstrating the attitudes and states of mind that should prevail in the process of playing the game whether for fun or in tournament play. The results are better and at the same time there is greater feeling of peace as opposed to aggravation, anger and frustration. Suddenly you walk away from the 18th hole and say to yourself, "Hmm! A few bad shots but, boy, that was fun!". I think I'll do it again.

It got a little slow with all the detailed shots in tournaments. I skimmed tho she portions of the book and focused on the ideas of how and why a golfer should stay in the present. Good examples of this.
