Thanks!"- James Long Hale, Author of Golf Sonnets

"Thought I would let you know that I played a quick 9 this morning on my home course and shot a 4 under par "32" with 4 birdies and no bogies. The part about feeling the shot, visualization and just enjoying the round helped me "go to the next level". Just the tone of the voice in it sets you up for a relaxed focused round. Last year at this time I was shooting in the low 80's and upper 70's most of the time. Although I have been playing for many years, this year has by far been my best with 2 sub par 70's just in the last month. I will be 57 next month and feel like my best golf is yet to come." - Dave Davison, Lawrence, KS, USA

"Golfers are always searching for an extra edge. A swing thougt or key word or code. Golfers buy into the Marketing Man's Dream of extra yardage, spin, feel, fade or draw. We buy putter and drivers, change balls and wear lucky charms. But how many ever realize the secret is there for the taking - the key to good golf lies not in the elusive search for clubs, balls and charms, but in one fundamental used by every Professional Golfer. Without exception. The Pre -shot routine. Listen to the words. Burn them on your hard drive. Leave the Marketing Man's Dream to others. This is the secret which leads to the promised land. Better golf, solid strikes and lower scores. It just takes practice and application and those words become your fifteenth club in the bag." - Sara Woodward, The Golf Police

"For me the mental game is the most over-looked aspect of golf teaching. This ebook is a great insight into why golfers under-perform and the disciplined shot routine reminds us of what a visual and feel based game this really is." - Christopher Ellis, Pyrford Golf Club, Surrey, UK

"Through reading the Golf State of Mind eBook, I've noticed a huge difference in my short game. The visualization and feel exercises have made me more creative around the greens and I am seeing the results in my scores. My driving range and practice sessions generally make me feel like I'm progressing. Thanks David!" - James Hardy, Head of Europe, Alibaba, London

"Thanks, David, for your indispensable guide to the mental game. Before your help, apprehension was my dominant emotion when addressing the ball. If I’m truthful with myself, I never knew where it was going to go. Your eBook has given me the ability not only to visualize each shot as I want to play it, but also to hit it there." - Jonny Goodman, Head of Factual Programming, Tiger Aspect, London, UK

"What has struck me about the Golf State of Mind teaching is how simple it has made the game for me. I've started to think less about my technique and more about what I want the ball to do. My visualization of good shots is improving and I feel I am growing in confidence which is being reflected in my scores." - Simon Brandon, 18 Handicap, London, UK
