Your 15th Club: The Inner Secret to Great Golf

Description

All golfers have fourteen clubs in their bag, but the real winners have a little something extra -- that mental attitude that puts their game above the others. Dr. Bob Rotella, author of the bestselling book Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect, brings together his skills and years of experience as a golf psychologist to give readers the insight they need to improve their game -- before they ever step up to the tee.

The 15th Club is the tool that golf stars like Tiger Woods use to block out negative thoughts, doubt, and fear. It is what allows champions to perform at their peak both in practice and during the game. Golfers who lack it find the game elusive and frustrating. Confident golfers play the game as they have always sensed they could play it. Now, one of the most renowned golf writers offers up the foolproof methods that will allow golfers at any skill level to give their game that extra boost.

Dr. Rotella provides tips and techniques for how to learn from better golfers, overcome fear in pressure situations, and keep a clear mind, no matter what. He tells golfers that inner arrogance is not a negative trait, but instead is something that can improve performance on and off the course. In order to perform at peak levels and achieve your goals, you must believe that you can win. Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful tool, and it can change the way a player approaches the game. Knowing how to focus on the challenge at hand and understanding your own talent are crucial parts of becoming a confident golfer.

Dr. Rotella provides a detailed plan that anyone can use to build the self-image of a winner.He offers a one-year schedule in diary and calendar form that will incorporate the daily mental routines that he assigns to players on the PGA Tour. This is how the pros learn to ignore negative influences, focus on productive advice, and take pride in their abilities.

Your 15th Club will tell golfers of all abilities how to develop the confidence they need to maximize their physical gifts and defeat the Tigers of their world, whether that world is the PGA Tour or the third flight of the club championship.

Summary: "A miracle !"

This book was recommended to our golf mad 18 year old Grandson.
We had it sent to us in New Zealand, and we took it over to him in Australia.
Like a lot of teenage boys, reading is not his thing, but he read this
book almost non stop. He could not put it down and says he will read
it again and again.

He is now making hints that he would like the rest of the Bob Rotella
books as future birthday and Christmas gifts !!

Summary: "Better than I Expected"


Maybe his first book was so good that this pales only by comparison.

I don't play golf much but my son, 13, is a serious golfer. The next level for him is mental. He has all the shots and then some. But the mental part of the game is holding him back from that sub par level.

I read the book before we gave it to him. I did not find the book to be heavily laid with the negative. Instead found the so called negative as examples of the though process that prevents golfers from doing there best. He does go a little heavy on Padraig but it does go to show how his helpful hints and suggestions can work.

There is not much in the book that has not been covered elswhere, but here is is in a condensed fashion with real life examples.

Working the suggesed steps will improve condidence and give the golfer who has the shots a lower score. It has helped my son to be more aware of his thinking on the course, gave him alternatives, and has lowered his score

Summary: "Review of Rotella's Your 15th Club"

I'm the duffer's duffer, and yet Dr. Bob has opened up a set of tools that I believe will help me to enjoy the game more and to give myself more opportunities to hit well. His helps address directly my tendency to talk harshly to myself about missed shots. I'm anxious for the weather to improve so I can get out there and try on my "new self."

Summary: "Another great book from Bob Rotella"

Before reading `Your 15th Club' I thought `Golf is not a game of perfect' was the best golf book I have read. Now Bob Rotella has matched that and taken it to the next level. I've read the previous reviews and some don't seem to agree with my opinion. I don't think they grasp what Rotella is saying about the importance of self confidence. But more than explaining the importance of self confidence Rotella explains how to build and maintain self confidence. Some of the things in this book I had stumbled upon and was all ready doing and some I have learned from this book's marvelous way of conveying Bob Rotella's thoughts. The thoughts and ideas in this book can help anyone improve their golf game.
