Just ordered The Lost Art of Golf as I’m nearing the end of A Course Called Scotland (now I know what I will do with my time if I win the lottery).

I need some more suggestions for my dad… he loves Ben hogan but has likely read most of the common books…
He reads a ton on non fiction, and is recovering from surgery and can’t play golf right now… any and all suggestions would be great.

Of course, there’s the possibility that GITK is nonfiction.

GITK got a little too Carlos Casteneda for me at the end. Maybe I’ll read it again next year.

I’ve thought about reading it in an altered state.
I’ve always struggled to read books while I’m high on Ayahuasca.
An American caddie in St. Andrews is good. And Final Rounds is a great book.
I need to practice this technique some more… made a few mistakes recently! Very happy with my touch around the greens… but my 20+ foot touch needs work.
I’m listening to The Art of Learning after hearing @ScottFawcettDECADE talk about having Will Zalatoris listen to it each day when he won the US Junior Amateur. Interesting book for sure.

Just finished it yesterday-- great read/listen
Just started “Simplicity - The Fluid Motion Factor” by Steven Yellin.
If you’re familiar with “Inner Tennis” this is a bit along those lines.
It’s short, to the point and gives you ideas and techniques to work on lessening the conscious swing thoughts that block you from playing in “the zone” … and allowing more of your inner self to swing the club…
And who does not need more of that??!!

Listened to Golf is Not a Game of Perfect and The Mindful Athlete on Audible recently. Both were good although I guess I have read enough self-improvement books that I didn’t feel like I got a lot of anything new.

Just started The Inner Game of Golf. Also recently started the Lost Art of Putting. My biggest obstacle to progressing in golf is my analytical mind getting in my own way. Hoping for some insights from these two books.

Very cool! I almost signed up to play with him when he was near Louisville, but couldn’t swing the time with the kids… Didn’t know who he was at the time, or I would have worked harder to make it happen!
