Customer Reviews

Golf is more than a physical game.

I play competetive amateur golf throughout the southeast. This book is great for someone that wants to be competetive and not just play for fun. Golf is as much a mental game as a physical one.

Doc Winters really helps you master the mind game of golf. He makes it seem so common sensical. In addition, he is a really nice guy.
