Synopsis
It may be seem like the new kid on the block, but organic gardening has been practised for thousands of years by home gardeners. There is a way to grow flowers, woody plants, lawns, vegetables and fruit without the fertilizers and pesticides that can contaminate our environment and ourselves. Peters, author of many of Lone Pine's best-selling gardening guides, describes the benefits of organic gardening and how to make the transition into that world: creating living soils planning and design planting and managing an organic gardening (treatment of pests, diseases and weeds) managing an ornamental garden (lawns, woody plants, flowering plants, containers) wildlife or naturalized gardens edible gardens urban gardens how to harvest extend the seasons, propagate, as well as watering techniques. Colour photos and illustrations throughout., Filled with insightful stories about golf, Dr. Bob Rotella's delightful book will improve the game of even the most casual weekend player. Dr. Bob Rotella is one of the hottest performance consultants in America today. Among his many professional clients are Nick Price (last year's Player of the Year), Tom Kite, Davis Love III, Pat Bradley, Brad Faxon, John Daly, and many others. Rotella, or "Doc," as most players refer to him, goes beyond just the usual mental aspects of the game and the reliance on specific techniques. What Rotella does here in this extraordinary book, and with his clients, is to create an attitude and a mindset about all aspects of a golfer's game, from mental preparation to competition. The most wonderful aspect of it all is that it is done in a conversational fashion, in a dynamic blend of anecdote and lesson. And, as some of the world's greatest golfers will attest, the results are spectacular. Golfers will improve their golf game and have more fun playing. Some of Rotella's maxims include: -On the first tee, a golfer must expect only two things of himself: to have fun, and to focus his mind properly on every shot. -Golfers must learn to love 'the challenge when they hit a ball into the rough, trees, or sand. The alternatives--anger, fear, whining, and cheating--do no good. -Confidence is crucial to good golf. Confidence is simply the aggregate of the thoughts you have about yourself. -It is more important to be decisive than to be correct when preparing to play any golf shot or putt. Filled with delightful and insightful stories about golf and the golfers Rotella works with, Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect will improve the game of even the most casual weekend player.

    The book arrived in a timely manner. It was well packed and arrived in good shape. It’s just as it was described and the photos were very helpful, especially the publishing page. A fair price for a book of this quality. A great addition to my N. C. Wyeth collection.

    Excellent book on the mental side of golf to help your game

    I received this same book about 15 yrs ago. After using its methods my handicap dropped from a 12 to about an 8. If you already have some decent golf skills and you follow the information in the book, there is no reason why you cannot lower your scores. The chapter on the "training" and "trusting" mentality of practice helped me the most. This is the only golf book I have for the mental side, do not need another one. I buy this book for others.
