Story
It is no secret that more than two-thirds of the shots a golfer makes are shorts ones: putts, chips, and pitches. Long drives may garner applause, but whether a golfer wants to win the Masters or just five bucks from a friend on Saturday morning, it’s the little shots that make the difference. In The Unstoppable Golfer, Dr. Bob Rotella takes the same wisdom and experience that have worked for clients like Davis Love III and David Toms to help you master this special art of short shots and avoid all the frustration out of this increasingly challenging element of the game.

Fifteen years ago, the average male golfer's handicap was 16.2. The average female golfer's handicap was 29. American golfers have not gotten any better. World- renowned performance consultant and sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella now offers The Golf of Your Dreams for the golfer who is determined to get better but hasn't figured out how to go about it.
Publisher's Summary
An alternative to popular positive thinking, this groundbreaking audiobook on golf psychology, reveals the practical mindfulness, techniques, and philosophies that will help you to play your best golf when it matters. Author Jon Adler has worked with touring professionals and amateurs for over 10 years, helping them to overcome mental problems and blocks by developing the art of relaxed concentration.
In this book there are practical exercises, psychological ideas, and interesting stories to help you to:
- Play your best golf when it matters
- Stop getting so frustrated when you play
- Develop a calm and equanimous mind
- Understand how anxiety affects your game
- Improve your concentration
- Stop doubting your ability
- Develop trust and confidence
- Discover how you get in your own way
- Strike the ball like you do in practice
- Overcome anxiety
- Chip it stiff
- Develop confidence and feel on the putting green
- Learn to concentrate under pressure
What do you do when positive thinking stops working? Really, I’m serious. If you have ever tried being really positive while playing golf, you may have experienced some success, but what do you do when you start playing poorly? It is very hard to keep positive when you have no idea where the ball is going. I tried the positive thinking route myself and when things got tough the only explanation for my poor performance was that I was not being positive enough. There had to be more to it than that I thought, so I went about trying to discover the truth about how our mind gets in the way of good performance. What I found, changed the way I played and coached golfers forever.
I am sharing my techniques with you, having practiced them with golfers of all abilities for the last ten years.
The key skill that you will learn to improve is the skill that underpins peak performance in every walk of life: relaxed concentration. Golfers and golf commentators often talk about focusing well and good concentration, but there is little information about how to improve and perfect relaxed concentration, a skill that all agree is a prerequisite for good golf.
This is not popular golf psychology. I will not encourage you to sit in a chair, close your eyes, and imagine yourself playing really well. If you want the positive thinking route then don’t buy this audiobook. I only deal with reality. In fact it has been said that my techniques are so simple that you actually think much less on the golf course and play better. Does that sound good to you?
Are you ready to uncover your potential?

slightly different take on golf psychology.
I have listened to many golf psychology books. Usually they all have the same narrative. this book takes a slightly different approach which I much enjoyed.

So grateful to have found this book
Resuming after a 20 year break from golf, and with an abundance of technical and psychological information about golf available at our fingertips today, in my quest to rediscover some form and enjoyment of the game, I came across Jon’s book. There are some good books out there on the mind game no doubt, but for me this one is by far the best. Simple but at the same time deep, I now understand much more about the mental game and in practice or on the course I am having a lot of fun with the various mental approaches.

Seems more of an advert to his coaching services
Drawn out explanations as filler. Continual references to contact him and get coaching. Nothing new here, for me at least, and not really worth the credit. Have a positive attitude and play one stroke at a time. Rotella and Parent are better recommendations.
