Does your golf game leave something to be desired? Are your putts a point of frustration for you? In this book, Golf is first and foremost a mental game. If one’s mind isn’t in the right place or one isn’t being mindful, the golf game suffers. John Rota covers an unconventional, innovative way to improve and elevate your golf game.

As an avid golfer and a mindfulness practitioner, this book hit home for me. The advice is useful, at times humorous, and informative. The layout is well done, engaging, and easily accessible. The chapters were short and digestible. The quotes were memorable. Readers who are golfers or just want to be more mindful will want to pick this one up. Recommended for most library collections.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. The premise of this book is an awesome idea that offers new forms of mindfulness to those who find traditional mindfulness to be newfangled nonsense, too girly or for hippies and like sports since some of the elements can be applied to other sports not just golf. I also liked the sketches which were a great touch to the book.

Growing up I never understood why so many people liked golf. It didn't really sound that appealing to try to hit a tiny ball down a giant grassy green path to try and get it to role into a tiny cup. It wasn't until COVID hit in 2020 that I realized golf is WONDERFUL! However, the entire game is mental, and not many people talk about how to get better at the mental game of golf. This book does just that!

I love a good mindfulness book, but to have it paired with bettering my golf game? Yeah, that's an even better combination.

Good Vibes:
-Short and easy chapters to follow
-easy and understandable writing style
-motivational quotes
-things to practice
-humorous (giggled to myself a couple different times)
-in general just good vibes

Bad Vibes:
-got nothing for this section lol

If you're looking for a way to actually improve your golf game I would suggest picking up this book. Mindset is everything. Change your mindset, change your life (or in this scenario your golf game)

Thank you NetGalley and Amplify publishing for providing a copy for me to read!

Lots of different golf books are out there trying to help you improve your game. Let Go, Let Golf tries to go about making you look at golf (and thus at life) with a different perspective.

Simple things like using humour and unconscious meditations can make a huge impact in your game without really changing anything. The biggest focus I thought that made this book different from others was that it seemed to focus more on getting the enjoyment out of golf, not necessarily using these skills to actually improve your game. Chances are that your game will improve by doing some of what is recommend here, but having a more enjoyable time on the course really was the main goal of this book.

A good book on the mental game that the average golfer would benefit from.

Thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for a copy of this book.

Whilst it was at times quite funny, I've read Bob Rotella which helped more for the game

3/5

You might even start seeing the world differently—as one big golf course

Its a cliche that golf is first and foremost a mental game and this book’s focus on ‘mindfulness’ is a refreshing approach that seasoned professionals or complete amateurs like me who are returning to the game after many years will find helpful. John Rota also throws in some great quotes from philosophers that inspire and motivate. He includes many exercises and drills to improve performance in practice. The author “is an avid golfer and is always looking for ways to improve his craft.” A sentiment I fully endorse. The illustrations by Victor Juhasz are excellent. I would like to thank the author and his publisher Amplify publishing http:/amplifypublishinggroup.com/ and NetGalley for providing a digital ARC for review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

A wonderful guide for anyone who wants to improve their golf game--or life--though mindfulness. Short chapters, concise steps and takeaways, and a light humorous touch make for an informative, fun read. I'm buying this for my golfer brother for his birthday!
