"Play Golf Better Faster: The Classic Guide to Optimizing Your Performance and Building Your Best Fast" by Kalliope Barlis is a comprehensive guide that promises to improve your golf game significantly. The book is divided into three main parts: mental preparation, practical skills, and strategic play. Barlis shares her journey from a beginner to a professional golfer in just two years, offering insights and techniques she used to achieve this transformation. The book combines neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) with practical golf exercises to help readers develop both their mental and physical abilities.

In the first part, Barlis emphasizes the importance of mental strength and focus. She introduces techniques like visualization and positive thinking to help golfers develop a strong mindset. The second part of the book provides detailed instructions on improving physical skills, including grip, stance, and swing mechanics. Barlis includes step-by-step exercises and routines that cater to golfers at different skill levels. The final part of the book focuses on strategic play, offering tips on course management, pre-shot routines, and handling pressure during competitions.
I particularly liked how Barlis integrates mental training with physical practice.

The NLP techniques she describes are not only useful for golf but can also be applied to other areas of life. The practical exercises are easy to follow and designed to gradually build a golfer's skills. I also appreciated the motivational tone of the book, which encourages readers to believe in their potential and work consistently towards their goals.

One minor downside is the limited use of visuals. While the instructions are clear, additional diagrams or illustrations could have made it easier to understand some of the swing mechanics and practice drills. However, this does not significantly take away from the overall value of the book.

I found no errors in the book, indicating that it’s flawlessly edited. I give it a 5 out of 5 stars because of its well-rounded approach, combining mental and physical training, along with its motivational tone, makes it an excellent resource for golfers looking to improve their game. I recommend this book to golfers of all skill levels who are looking to enhance their performance and develop a strong mental approach to the sport.
