Play Golf Better Faster by Kaliope Barlis is an instructional book designed to help golfers improve their game. The book provides valuable information and suggestions for golfers looking to boost their skills. It highlights the importance of mindset, anchoring great shots, maintaining a positive attitude, and effective practice techniques.


I value the book's straightforward approach, as it offers tips to apply to your golf game immediately. Barlis encourages multiple readings of the book to grasp as much helpful information as possible. This also allows for the golfer to skip around in the book more easily to go directly to the part of the book that they need.


I particularly enjoyed the focus on the mental aspect of anchoring. Barlis walks step-by-step through the psychological and physical routines that can produce an anchor. This anchoring, if done correctly, can play a significant role in helping with your mental game. A strong mental game and mindset can make a difference in enjoying or hating how the day turned out. This led to how important it is to maintain a positive attitude. A positive attitude can greatly impact your game and how people around you react.


There were step-by-step guides throughout the book. These guides are invaluable to a golfer looking to improve their game using this book. There is no guessing with these guides. You can start at step one and work through all the steps. Even some of the steps have mini steps worked into them. Barlis thoroughly thought through all the skills someone might need to know to better their game.


Overall, I would give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 for its effectiveness as a self-help resource. I highly recommend it to all golfers seeking to improve their game, especially beginners. The only aspect I would suggest enhancing is a few more illustrations.
