For any golfer, regardless of ability level, "Play Golf Better Faster: The Classic Guide to Optimizing Your Performance and Building Your Best Fast" by Kalliope Barlis is an outstanding addition to their repertoire. Barlis adds an abundance of expertise and insight to this extensive book. She picked up a golf club for the first time in her twenties and became a professional golfer in just two years.


This book's comprehensive method for raising one's golf game is what makes it unique. Barlis explores in depth the psychological and emotional elements of sports that can have a big impact on performance, in addition to the technical components of the game. Her explanation of the value of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and visualization is especially clear in this regard.


The book is broken up into parts that address a wide range of subjects, from more complex subjects like course management and mental toughness to the basics of grip, posture, and swing mechanics. Practical exercises and drills that are simple to follow and execute abound in every segment. Barlis's writing style is fascinating and easy to understand, making even novices able to profit from her counsel on complex subjects.


The focus on speed and efficiency in "Play Golf Better Faster" is one of its most notable aspects. It is encouraging and reasonable for Barlis to think that golfers can dramatically raise their game by concentrating on the important details and practicing well. Her two-year training program is thorough and organized, giving readers a road map to monitor their advancement.


The book has several small issues, despite being quite interesting and educational. There is a need for improvement in some areas, especially the ones on course management. The abundance of material in the book might also be a bit overpowering at times.


Readers should take their time and progressively complete the drills and exercises if they want to get the most out of them. It's also important to keep in mind that not all readers will have access to specific tools, such as launch monitors, for particular activities. Barlis highlights the value of customizing the workouts to meet the needs of each individual while also providing some alternate options.


The book has perfect editing. Its excellent production quality is demonstrated by the fact that I did not come across a single typo or grammatical fault. The reading experience is improved overall, and the content is made easier to understand and implement because of the painstaking attention to detail.


Finally, for everyone wishing to get better at golf, "Play Golf Better Faster" is an essential tool. Golfers of all skill levels should read this book because of Barlis's helpful suggestions, concise explanations, and effective training schedule. Because of its thorough methodology, interesting writing, and superb proofreading, I award this book five out of five stars. Whether you're an amateur or an experienced player, this book will surely improve your game.
