Publisher's Synopsis
The fundamentals are a golfer's most important skills. They are the building blocks of success. While many books address the fundamentals of the physical side of golf, the one-of-a-kind Why Alligators Make Good Golfers: A Guide to Thick Skin and Mental Toughness identifies and gives instruction on the fundamentals of the mental side.
On the golf course, mental skills are just as vital as physical skills, yet most players spend all of their time working on the physical side of their game, focusing exclusively on grip, stance, takeaway, and downswing. Their physical skills may be up to par, but their mental skills are often in the rough. In this thoroughly useful guide, Dr. Mark Frazier identifies and gives instruction on the mental fundamentals of golf:- Playing with confidence
- Concentrating completely
- Managing nervousness
- Overcoming frustration
- The pre-shot routine
- Thinking straight
