I just finished Special Operations by Tom Lukas.  My wife grew up with the author.  It is a psychological thriller.  Definitely worth the read.  It is self published.

No. The book. Couldn't find many good pictures of the cover quickly. Didn't even see that "read by" thing until today.

Ugh. ;-) Had trouble getting to page 10 without my eyes getting sore from all the rolling. :-)

I'm on page 57 and I'm having a tough time pushing through it.  I liked his book "Unconscious Putting" so I had high hopes for this one, but so far it's like a cheap hotdog, too much filler, not enough meat.

I'm not big on all this "mental game" stuff because I think there are only very small gains to be made from it.

Ray Floyd says he won the Masters because he just pictured every shot he was going to hit that week and then did it. Well great, Ray, so why didn't you do that every time you teed it up? And that trick might "work" when your swing is really good for a short period of time, but the average duffer isn't breaking 90 by "picturing the shot he wants to hit" if his swing isn't anywhere near being able to produce it for him 95% of the time.

:)

The book was a bust, it started our weak and never got into anything that hasn't been a golf cliché for years.  Think positive, smile when you swing, keep yourself mentally into the game, and visualize the shot you want to hit.  One of the few books that I can say I read where I didn't get a single worthwhile piece of information from.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 17 (26 Mar 25) -  Big day working on a project at church - therefore it was grab some time with the 9i in the backyard working on pitch and runs later in the day.  Focused on keeping the ball flighted to get some good rollout.  Hit about 20 shots doing that and then moved to the 54 to keep working on getting good torso rotation and not flipping through it.  Was not perfect as there were some bloopers and fliers but overall a good session on distance control.
