Personality rules performance in all athletic mediums, yet the paramount importance of personality in golf remains largely unnoticed and unaddressed. Golfers regularly fail to see the limits of their personality and become patterned, repeating inconsistent performance after inconsistent performance.

Optimizing performance requires understanding your personality and its tendencies, and recognizing that there is no room for mental preparation once you’ve addressed the ball. You must have prepared for the shot well before you begin your pre-shot routine, before you’ve entered the course, before you’ve finished your practice at the range.

Enhanced performance in any sport, but particularly golf, requires understanding and mastering the way personality and mental processes determine particular outcomes. This book addresses personality in terms of Types, unique characteristics that form the what of who we are. Once you have a grasp of who you are and what particular tendencies you have in performance, the book offers a set of Basic Skills and Skills for Mastery that will assist golfers of varying abilities with mastering the mental game. Exercises in the back of the book offer practical technical solutions, drills and practice aids, personality inventories, and worksheets to assist players to maximize their mental and physical efforts on the course.
