8 TRAITS OF CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF - Description
Do you swing too fast, try too hard, lose concentration, lack confidence, get
angry, putt poorly under pressure, finish exhausted, or suffer for hours after a
hard game? The most valuable tool a golfer can bring to the course is a strong
mental game. Yet many golfers and instructors take this for granted, focusing
almost entirely on grip, stance, or swing technique.
The 8 Traits of Champion
Golfers is a unique and persuasive approach to becoming a better golfer. Leading
sports psychologist Dr. Deborah Graham and Jon Stabler identify the eight
crucial personality traits that separate true champions from the rest and give
you easy-to-follow steps for improving your game and making it more enjoyable.
Using their unique GolfPsych® program, Graham and Stabler challenge you to
explore the crucial elements of your personality and measure them against the
traits of such successful golfers as Lee Janzen, Dave Stockton, Michelle McGann,
and Gary McCord, all of whom have worked with Dr. Graham.
With player examples
and a careful explanation of why each trait is important to the game of golf,
Graham discusses:
- Focus and Concentration
- Abstract Thinking
- Emotional
Stability
- Dominance and Competitiveness
- Tough-Mindedness
- Self-Assurance
- Self-Sufficiency
- Optimum Arousal and Managing Tension Complete with charts,
self-tests, and playing tips.
The 8 Traits of Champion Golfers is the only
research-based, tour-proven guide to the mental game of golf, making it possible
for every golfer to find their "zone" and play like a champ.
