Editorial Reviews:
Dr. Bob Rotella is one of the hottest performance consultants in America today. Among his many professional clients are Nick Price (last year's Player of the Year), Tom Kite, Davis Love III, Pat Bradley, Brad Faxon, John Daly, and many others. Rotella, or "Doc," as most players refer to him, goes beyond just the usual mental aspects of the game and the reliance on specific techniques. What Rotella does here in this extraordinary book, and with his clients, is to create an attitude and a mindset about all aspects of a golfer's game, from mental preparation to competition. The most wonderful aspect of it all is that it is done in a conversational fashion, in a dynamic blend of anecdote and lesson. And, as some of the world's greatest golfers will attest, the results are spectacular. Golfers will improve their golf game and have more fun playing. Some of Rotella's maxims include:
* On the first tee, a golfer must expect only two things of himself: to have fun, and to focus his mind properly on every shot.
* Golfers must learn to love 'the challenge when they hit a ball into the rough, trees, or sand. The alternatives -- anger, fear, whining, and cheating -- do no good.
* Confidence is crucial to good golf. Confidence is simply the aggregate of the thoughts you have about yourself.
* It is more important to be decisive than to be correct when preparing to play any golf shot or putt.
Filled with delightful and insightful stories about golf and the golfers Rotella works with, Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect will improve the game of even the most casual weekend player.

golf is not a game of perfect Aug 15, 2010
As golfer with a 9.9 handicap, I found the book extremely valuable. I will recommend it first to the young players of my Golf Club who desire to became a pro, second to some friend of mine who are striving to lower their handicap.
Just Buy It Jul 30, 2010
I have a golf company Zoom Boom Golf and I tell everyone of my students there are two books you have to buy. They are Golf Is Not A Game of Perfect and Kathy Whitworth's Little Book of Golf Wisdom.
So, Just buy it.
Very sound advice. May 31, 2010
I enjoyed reading this book. I think most golfers could get very sound advice through this book.
Must Have Golf Book May 03, 2010
This is the second copy that I have bought because the first one helped me out so much that I loaned it to a friend who was struggling with the game and didn't get it back. Dr. Rotella isn't reinventing the wheel here, he just helps realize why the wheel turns. He says in the book that the game of golf is played on a six inch piece of property between your ears and it is true. This book is easy to read and it helps big time.
A wonderful book for all golfers! Feb 03, 2010
This the the one book all new golfers, and many long time golfers, should read. It is a wonderful collection of examples and reasons that we should love the GAME that golf is and not be tied up in scoring well all the time! I have given it to all of my friends as they start playing golf!
