My journey began chipping balls around a rural back garden. It took me all over the world playing golf and chasing my dream before bringing me back to England to help other people get better at chipping balls round their back gardens. Growing up playing golf with the likes of Luke Donald, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose gave me first hand experience of the difference between what good players do, and what the best players in the world do. The problem is you can't see it. You only see the results. The difference is invisible, barely tangible. But if you get curious, and get quiet enough, sometimes you can sense it. For most golfers, the gap between what they do, and what they think they do is huge. The better the player, the smaller the gap. If I were to sum up what the great players have that the average player doesn't, it would be one word. Awareness. Awareness is one part of the understanding I share in this book The other elements are the nature of Thought, the tool all human beings use to create their own reality, and lastly, a Spritual Intelligence which we all share. An inner wisdom, the root of our of mental strength and resilience. Understanding these three principles provided the explanation for the problems I had playing my best golf when I really wanted to, the state of mind that led to me constantly fixing my golf swing, and then the breakthrough when I finally saw where the anxiety and insecurity I felt on the golf course were really coming from. So who is this book for? I'm guessing if you've picked it up or downloaded it, you aren't completely happy with your game. Maybe you aren't enjoying it as much as you used to, or you have had some lessons and haven't improved in the way you had hoped? Maybe you're feeling anxious and under pressure when you play, and are looking for ways to overcome or cope with those feelings? Maybe you feel the progress in your game has levelled off, and you're looking for a way to improve without yet another round of 'worse before it gets better' swing changes? I hope this book will help you see the game differently. Instead of looking outside, at another swing model, another coach, more new golf clubs, the latest training aid, more balls at the driving range, or a new fitness programme, let this book point you inwards, to how you feel when you're playing golf, and to think about where those feelings that hold you back are coming from. Are you relaxed, calm, decisive, resilient and free when you play, or are you tight and anxious, a bundle of nerves, just waiting for the wheels to come off as seems to happen more often than not when you least want it? What problem does the book solve? Most people struggle to play their best golf for the simple reason that they think too much. We all play our best when we have less thinking going on, rather than more. Unfortunately most golf psychology books seem oblivious to this fact. They are packed with well meaning advice on how to think positively, offer routines and strategies to help you cope with the pressure, and tips and tricks to perform in stressful moments. Unfortunately, all of this advice leads to more thinking, not less, and makes golfers feel worse and play worse, not better. This book explains how a golfer's mind really works. It explains where feelings of pressure and anxiety come from. It reassures that you have everything you need within you, to play well regardless of the situation or circumstances or how you feel, and enjoy your golf again. You just need to know where to look for it.…

Is Your Golf Driving You Crazy?
It’s not surprising. The game is hard.
Despite their smooth swings and perfect putting strokes, even good players succumb to pressure. The greats have something else. Something you can’t see or measure.
Something that isn’t found in books, magazines or YouTube videos. The good news is - you have it too.
But only if you know where to find it.
We all know the symptoms of the misunderstanding.
- Snakes in your stomach standing on the first tee
- Self-sabotaging on the last few holes of a good round.
- Sleepless nights before playing with people you don’t know
- Playing well in practice but choking in competitions.
The choice is yours. Go with the herd or try a new approach?
Continue trying to mitigate the effects?
Or do you want to understand and deal with the root cause?
This book is not a quick fix or a coping strategy.
It is a manifesto for a new way of playing. And for living your life.
"This book is outstanding... and NOT just for golfers. I learned a great deal about the way my mind works. It’s applicable to all sports and performance and actually my whole life."
James. Avid golfer and reviewer.
“Your game and your life can't help but be enhanced by reading this book."
Dr Karl Morris - Performance Coach to Six Major Champions and over 100 Tour Professionals.
“Mentally, golf might just be the hardest sport of all.
When I was playing football, even if I was having a poor game I could dig in, run harder, make more tackles, use grit and willpower to raise my spirits and get the job done.
Golf isn’t like that. The harder you try, the worse it gets.
The ideas in this book will help you understand how your mind works. How to get out of your own way. How to take the pressure off yourself.
And those are useful things to know. Not just on the field of play, but in the rest of your life as well.”
Lee Dixon. Professional Footballer for Arsenal and England.
