CREATESPACE Playing With Your Mind: Manage Your Brain, Change Your Game

Unlock the brain behind your best golf rounds

Playing With Your Mind from CREATESPACE translates the idea that the course between your ears matters as much as the course itself. The book distills psychology, language, and brain science into plain language and practical steps you can try on the range and on the course. You’ll find a thoughtful blend of theory and actionable drills designed to fit into a busy practice schedule, with emphasis on steady routines over quick fixes.

For golfers who crave clarity, the author offers approachable models and proven techniques to harness mental power without getting overwhelmed. Expect simple frameworks, bite-size practices, and real-world drills that translate to everyday play. The focus is on sustainable habits that support better decisions, steadier nerves, and more enjoyable rounds—without overpromising outcomes.
