Summary
Is it possible… to learn the secrets of the mental game of golf from a book that’s fun to read? Absolutely, thanks to How Great Golfers Think by Bob Skura. 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 golf’s greatest achievers 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. Develop the essential mental skills that anyone can benefit from, whether you’re an elite amateur, an aspiring pro or a weekend player. Build a strong self-image the way the game’s icons built theirs Take your game from the practice range to the first tee See more - and better - shots through simple visualization techniques Assemble the building blocks for getting into ‘the zone’
About the Author
After graduating from the University of Waterloo, Bob Skura taught and played professional golf for five years. Later he developed a career in sales, becoming the proprietor of his own successful company. Bob’s athletic and professional experience has taught him that, with the correct approach, our potential to improve all areas of our lives is almost unlimited. In this book, he demonstrates how great achievers use sound psychological principles as a template for their successes, and how anyone can emulate them. In addition to playing competitive golf, Bob enjoys riding his unicycle and juggling, two skills he developed after the age of 50. He brings this same lighthearted, no-boundaries approach to How Great Golfers Think. Bob lives in Kitchener, Ontario, with his wife, Sharon.
