|  | | Focus On Golf - Creating The Golfer's Edge
Focus On Golf is for the golfer that truly desires to play better golf. It discusses the topics of preparation, performance, commitment, and maintaining composure. It strives to help golfers establish a new outlook, one that has a nurturing attitude, involves being genuine and open minded. And it gives you a no nonesense plan for achieving your golfing goals. This books was inspired by years of working with avid and competitive golfers that were confident in their physical skills, yet lacked the fortitude to perform under pressure. Working with these golfers helped me find a real path to helping golfers achieve their true potential.
Prelude
Since I was a boy I’ve been fascinated with the ability of accomplished performers to maintain their focus and composure in the most pressure filled situations. The feats of acrobats, martial artists, marksman, and all other precision athletes always intrigued me. Additionally, the best of the best in every sport seemed to make everyone else look simply average. I always wondered, what makes these performers so special? What type of edge did they have over everyone else?
As I played a variety of sports growing up, it became quite clear to me t | |  | | Golf-The Timeless Game - A Natural Way To Play

Preface
The game of golf has always afforded the individual the opportunity to explore the possibilities that life has to offer. It has challenged the individual to find balance between life's inner and outer worlds. Many have spent a majority of their time trying to tackle these challenges through only golf's outer game. But, this approach has left these individuals unsatisfied with the extent of their discovery. History has proven there must be a balance between both the game's inner and outer influences. We know of all great players that they had a unique ability to focu | |  | | Life Lessons & Golf - Self Help For Golfers
Life Lesson & Golf was written to help golfers learn how to put the game and their lives in perspective. It addresses many of the paradoxes in the game, most of which are created by our human nature, a nature the makes us disposed to be too mental. Most golfers like to say that golf is a mental game. I think we humans are mental and we don't want to admit it, so we blame it on the game. With this in mind, Life Lessons & Golf helps us sift through our human mental tendencies, and it helps us create a perspective of reality, one that will guide us into more performance oriented activities instead of fantasy based expectations and emotionally reactive responses. I hope it helps you become more real, more responsible, and more purposeful in your golf and your life.
Prelude
Everybody has reoccurring questions in their lives and their games. What are the answers? Is it technique, is it presence, are other forces working there? These questions are usually inspired from within, they point to the patterns in life that steer the course of our lives, and they influence the aspects of life that lead to being productive and happy. Finding our way in life, staying the course of productivity and attaining happiness can be facilitated by a process of self observation. This means noticing your behavior patterns in preparation, action, and response, | |  | | New Horizons Golf - A Physical, Mental, and Inner Renaissance

Foreword
By Larry Miller
For several decades golf instruction has remained stagnant, as evidenced by the fact that the average handicap has not been lowered—despite advances in golf club technology and improvements in course conditions.
This stagnation is not due to a lack of knowledge of swing mechanics by instructors—quite the contrary. Video technology has enabled teachers to isolate quite precisely the proven effective mechanics of the golf swing. Almost every trained instructor knows the way a good, effective golf swing works.
