I just received the CD collection with four of Dr. Rotella's audio books after reading recommendations on this site. For those who have read the books or listened to these, any recommendations on which one to listen to first? Here's the four:
Golf is a Game of Confidence
Golf is Not a Game of Perfect
Putting Out of Your Mind
The Golf of Your Dreams
I'm thinking of starting with the first one and working my way down but will take any recommendations.

After i read the book.. and it talks about your real potential/ hot streaks and getting out of your own way.. I birdied the first 5 holes in a row on a very difficult course.
Some call it luck??? I call it my real potential lol

I have all Rotella's books and often thumb through Golf is not a Game of Perfect from time to time. His books are well written and have a very simple, recurring theme. You'll read (or listen) to them and think, "That's so simple."
His points are very valid but the hard part is applying them consistently. When I've been able to, I have played some of my best golf. Any golfer will enjoy his books. I think that you could stop after the first three though. Like I said, to me, they have a recurring theme and I got less and less out of his subsequent books. Golf is not a Game of Perfect is the best starting point though.
Fairways and Greens.

I agree. I read Golf is not a Game of Perfect earlier this summer and played some of my best golf since reading it. I've also recommended it to several others. NCGolfer is right that it's pretty simple stuff and becomes a bit redundant. However, it's effective and your paying 50 bucks for the same advice for which tour pros are giving him millions of dollars.
And now that I read my post and User info, it reminds me that I need to change my Index from 3.2 to 2.3 (which has occurred since reading the book).
I agree with the redundancy... And also this book will help any golfer of any handicap.

I just finished reading 'Golf is not a game of perfect'. Now the challenge is to carry the same mentality throughout every round of golf. I think it really works. I think I scared my regular playing partner with a new mindset the last time we played.
