Reviews
“It’s likely that most golfers will finish this book taking deep breaths and visualizing their next perfectly struck tee shot.” — Booklist
“Golf is a game where you can go from feeling very relaxed to experiencing stress within minutes. Conscious breathing is just one technique Dr. Miller describes in this fascinating book that will help everyone reduce their stress level before an important shot and generally play with more consistency and impact.” — Bob Gelesko, Golf Professional, Rams Hill Country Club, Borrego Springs, CA
“Winning Golf: The Mental Game provides great insight into the mental side of succeeding on the golf course and in everyday life. Saul has really touched on several areas where high level players and weekend warriors struggle whether they actually realize it or not. A great read and for me a great tune up to regain my mental edge on the course.” — Rhein Gibson, PGA Tour Pro and Guinness record holder of the lowest score in a round (55)
“Dr. Saul’s techniques helped me play the best hockey of my career, particularly during our winning Stanley Cup season. These techniques continue to serve me in life and on the golf course. Reading Winning Golf and continuing to work on the exercises prescribed will improve your performance and pleasure playing golf.” — Bret Hedican, 17-year NHL veteran, Olympian, TV broadcaster, and recreational golfer
“This book can help you to strengthen your mental game and play happier, better golf.” — Nancy Lopez, LPGA and World Golf Hall of Fame member (48 LPGA victories)
“This is a very clear, comprehensive, and well-organized approach to developing a player’s mental game. Any serious competitor would do well to follow Miller’s suggestions and practice his exercises as much as they work on their mechanics and their physical fitness. I will recommend this work to everyone and I think it could be especially useful to young kids who are mature enough. It’s a great plan for life in general.” — Jim Petralia, member of California PGA Teaching Hall of Fame and one of Golf Magazine’s top 50 American instructors
“Winning Golf: The Mental Game will improve the quality of your golf … and your life. Trust me, this stuff really works.” — Cliff Ronning, 18-year NHL veteran and sub-70 recreational golfer
“Saul Miller brings to bear his extensive experience working with athletes from many sports on ways of rising to the mental challenges that golf provides. He has worked with golfers of all abilities, studied how the best players manage themselves and their games, and offers practical suggestions for a winning mental game. If you want to develop what Dr. Miller terms ‘right feeling, right focus, and right attitude,’ this is the book for you.” — Lorne Rubenstein, author, with Tiger Woods, of The 1997 Masters: My Story and winner of the PGA of America’s Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism
“Winning Golf provides golfers several practical training exercises that the reader can put into use immediately to improve their scores. The compilation of mental advice by Dr. Miller, with input from world class athletes and yesterday’s and today’s stars, make the book entertaining and relevant. It is a must read for any level of golfer trying to bring their game to the next level!” — Derek Sprague, past president of the PGA of America and General Manager of TPC Sawgrass
