How Great Golfers Think
Do you think it's possible to learn the secrets of the mental game from a book that's fun to read? According to the golf enthusiasts who've read How Great Golfers Think it is. In this lesson-story format, the main character, Kip, realizes he's never going to improve his play if he doesn't change his approach to the game. As a result, he and three golfing buddies find a mentor named Doc, who teaches them how to apply the mental skills that the likes of Tiger, Nicklaus and Mickelson have used. Doc, a successful player in his own right, bases his lessons on solid research, illustrating them with examples that even non-golfers can relate to. Each of the men takes his game to a higher level by the end of the book, but Kip has an especially exciting experience during his pursuit of a U.S. Amateur title. You'll want to be a part of it.
Not only has How Great Golfers Think been recognized by world-class coaches such as Dr. Jim Suttie, David Glenz and Steve Conley as one the best presentations of how to improve a person's mental approach in golf, its life lessons are applicable to many other disciplines. Skura's book has been the recipient of two writing awards - one from ING, The International Network of Golf, and the other from ForeWord Magazine.
