A terrible read. All these gimmicks with the golf swing. No non-technical book such as this is going to improve the way one looks at the game as you play it. Mr Galwey obviously plays golf like the boy President in the current White House–use the ole footwedge.

May be a bit too “inner” for some, but I enjoyed the book. Good golf tips for all.

Proposes, defends, and offers detailed first-hand phenomenological insight into a radical (by Western standards) approach to learning that maintains the master skill of all learning is “relaxed concentration” (p. xiii) coupled with trust in the body’s (and mind’s) ability to learn. As a sequel to the author’s previous work on learning to play tennis, the book provides instruction, examples, and encouragement in becoming receptive to a natural form of learning based on focused attention and non-judgmental awareness. While the approach admittedly can seem somewhat Zen-like to most Westerners, it is consistent with the Socratic learning approach underlying much of classical education.
Oh, and by the way, it WILL reduce your handicap.

A timeless classic that helped start the “inner game” revolution – this is the book that points golfers to the other half of the game, the inner aspect of the game. Practical without being hoakey or too metaphysical. One of those book you’ll keep on your shelf forever.

While I was reading the book, I realised how dramatically true it all was !!! It’s an absolute “must have” for all golfers. Your approach to the game will take a 180° twist and it will awaken your hidden golf talents. Enjoy the reading !
