About this listen
To be a golfer is to tinker - with everything from equipment to grip to swing. But one thing most players don't give enough attention to is the mental game. Psychologists aren't a new phenomenon in golf, but Dr. Michael Lardon is a different breed of performance coach. Instead of sending his players into a losing battle against emotion, indecision, and fear on the golf course, he shows them how to organize their thoughts and use them for maximum performance. His step-by-step Pre-Shot Pyramid provides any player with the ideal blueprint for shot setup, and his revolutionary Mental Scorecard will give you the tools to accurately measure what you really do on the golf course. You will learn the same techniques that Dr. Lardon shares with Phil Mickelson and dozens of other tour players, including the tools that helped Mickelson right himself after the 2012 U.S. Open to win the British Open a month later with a historic final round.
Mastering Golf's Mental Game will change the way you think about golf, and is a must-listen for any player serious about shooting better scores and getting more enjoyment out of the game.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

It is no secret that more than two-thirds of the shots a golfer makes are shorts ones: putts, chips, and pitches. Long drives may garner applause, but whether a golfer wants to win the Masters or just five bucks from a friend on Saturday morning, it’s the little shots that make the difference. In The Unstoppable Golfer, Dr. Bob Rotella takes the same wisdom and experience that have worked for clients like Davis Love III and David Toms to help you master this special art of short shots and avoid all the frustration out of this increasingly challenging element of the game.

Golf is a beloved yet technical game, so a sound swing and precise technique are essential. Most golfers who want to improve their skills go to the range and work painstakingly on their swings, not realizing it's often their performance state on the course that needs work, not their technique. Simple things such as awareness of your balance, tension, and tempo, as well as the ability to control mental, emotional, and social variables you encounter while playing, can quickly take your game to a new performance level.

Any golfer will understand this: You go out to the driving range, you warm up with your irons, everything is going right. You pull out your utility clubs, you are hitting great. Your driver - boom. The ball flies far and lands just where you want it. You head for the practice green...you drain every putt from 30 feet in. But eventually, you end up quadruple bogey.

My Life in and out of the Rough is a thrillingly - and sometimes shockingly - candid memoir of a larger-than-life athlete battling assorted addictions (alcohol, gambling, chocolate, sex), his weight, and, perhaps worst of all, divorce lawyers.

great stuff
i have incorporated the mental scorecard into my game, and its made a big improvement to my overall enjoymemt of playing. i have gone from being obsessed to get past certain milestones, and shifted my focus more towards my routines. For many years I was obsessed with getting into the 70s, I wanted to get to 50% up and downs, blahblahblah, and I would always tense up late in the round and choke! the result to using the mental scorecard is that I passed all my milestones I wanted to get past, and barely noticed it - all I focus on while I play is playing golf, enjoying my time, thinking about the challenge in a positive way, and my routines. thanks for the great book it's made a difference

Great insight!
I loved this, it helped me to improve my mental approach to the game of golf. as a 4-5 handicap, I struggled to improve my consistency on the course, and was in my head day after day about a certain club, hole, or shot. This book helped me to overcome these thoughts, and develop a pre-shot ritual, as well as a post shot thought process to overcome bad shots on the course. Highly recommend this book!
