Golf's Mental Hazards: Overcome Them and Put an End to the Self-Destructive Round Paperback - 1996

by Alan Shapiro

Noted sports psychologist Alan Shapiro presents a fascinating exploration of the relationship between a golfer's personality and his or her performance on the links. Shapiro shows how increased self-awareness and working with the mentality you already have can work wonders on your golf score.


From the rear cover

According to Dr. Alan Shapiro, the personality traits that cause problems in your everyday life can also wreak havoc on your golf game. If you're a worrier, chances are you're also anxious at the tee. If you're a control freak, you probably overanalyze your swing and tend to freeze up over the ball. If you have a short fuse, there is a good chance you're a club thrower. Using his experience as a psychologist and a devoted golfer, Dr. Alan Shapiro has identified six major golf personality types or "Mental Hazards". Just take the simple, forty-eight-question quiz provided to determine your Mental Hazard Profile, then read and apply Dr. Shapiro's customized advice for overcoming the Mental Hazards that plague you on and off the course.
