Book Reviews of Extraordinary Putting: Transforming the Whole Game
Book Review: My #1 Golf Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been playing golf for over 45 years and have read many books on golf, including both fiction and non-fiction. This book has risen to the top of my non-fiction list (right next to Golf in the Kingdom on the fiction side). I gave out four copies this Christmas. It focuses heavily on the mental game and working with the mind in conjunction with technique. It has great practice routines and exercises, but it is about more than just putting. In fact, it is about more than just golf, but rather it is about self-awareness and how we walk around in the world. Well-written and right on the money! I couldn't recommend it more highly. You might want to check out Extraordinary Golf, too.
Summary of Extraordinary Putting: Transforming the Whole Game
From the bestselling author and world-renowned coach, a unique approach to the often neglected art of putting that reveals three important keys to unlock the secrets to improved performance and overall satisfaction.E xtraordinary Putting offers an innovative approach to improving the overall golf game by focusing on putting, which accounts for more than one-third of the strokes in a typical round. Although not a tips-and-techniques book, Extraordinary Putting features a series of illustrated exercises that will help players develop:
- inner freedom to trust themselves and to recognize self-imposed barriers
- peace of mind that comes from eliminating mental chatter and self-judgments
- increased awareness that allows them to pay attention to their experiences, to understand the differences in those experiences from stroke to stroke, and to master the art of self-coaching
More than a dissertation on the "mental" game, Extraordinary Putting aims to help players let go of expectations, find true enjoyment in the game, and, above all, develop the ability to self-coach that is critical to ongoing success.
