Summary

An essential resource for golfers who want to play a smarter, more fulfilling game on the green

For as long as golf has existed, the game's greatest players and instructors have lauded the importance of mental resilience. However, while golfing equipment and course strategy have evolved over time, the field of golf psychology has not kept pace. Many outdated, unscientific notions remain widespread, despite the fact that they actually lead to repetitive, harmful patterns that impair golfer gameplay and create mental barriers to success.

In Golf Beneath the Surface, performance consultant Dr. Raymond Prior expertly debunks these "surface-level" psychology myths and explains psychological predictors that encourage long-term growth and skillful performance under pressure. Backed by rigorously researched neuroscience and psychology and drawing on years of experience working with some of the world's best players, Dr. Prior shares fresh, practical insights into how golfers think, train, and play, both on and off the course.

Accessible and entertaining, Golf Beneath the Surface challenges the status quo and brings a long-overdue update to modern performance psychology.

A refreshing look at the psychology of golf.

Having read a number of golf related psychology books, I found this particularly eye opening. As approaches the psychology of golf from a more current and relatable manner. More importantly, it tackles the questions that we are often faced with that relate to the wider life and the meaning to success in the amateur and professional level.

A must read (listen)

a profound read (listen) extremely enlightening and makes what you think would be a complicated topic easy to understand and put into action.
A must read for anyone struggling with the mental side of golf which is just about anyone who plays and has not listened to this yet.
