CREATESPACE Mind Game: Discover Your Golf Identity and Improve Your Play

Discover Your Golf Identity with Mind Game

Mind Game is not a traditional swing manual. It blends fifty-two years of on-course experience with forty years of teaching to offer a fresh approach to golf improvement. Instead of chasing a single ideal swing, the book helps you identify who you are as a golfer and how that identity can guide smarter decisions on the course and during practice.

From the driving range to tournament day, this book emphasizes what happens in the mind and how you respond to pressure, nerves, and ambitious goals. You’ll find practical ideas to strengthen routines, visualize shots, and manage expectations, while keeping the focus on your unique strengths as a player.

What makes Mind Game different

• Dual perspective from a pro who has competed at the highest levels and taught thousands of golfers, offering both technical insight and coaching nuance.
• A personalized approach that starts with your golfer identity rather than a generic swing model.
• A practical alternative to chasing perfect positions, focusing on real-world decision making and consistency.

What you will explore

The book guides you through topics you encounter before, during, and after rounds, asking big questions and providing usable ideas.

• Nerves and pressure management away from the course, including scenarios like leading late in a championship.
• Visualization routines, pre-shot rituals, and the way you read your own ball flight and club feedback.
• Ball flight laws, equipment considerations for fit and consistency, and how these pieces connect to your real needs.

Practical structure and everyday use

Designed as a portable journal, Mind Game invites highlighting, margin notes, and repeated rereads. Think of it as a cookbook of ideas you can return to for ongoing guidance and motivation.

Using Mind Game, you may discover how different elements—warmup, practice, tournament prep, and in-game decisions—fit together for you personally. The insights respect your pace and goals, presenting possibilities rather than promises, and encouraging mindful choices in both golf and daily life.

Beyond swing mechanics

Topics touch on nutrition, planning for tournaments, rules awareness, and club fitting. The goal is to help you build a cohesive system that aligns your equipment, timing, and mindset with your unique identity as a golfer.
