Summary: Insightful observations by thoughtful student of the game
Comment: This tightly written little gem of a book is packed full of interesting insights about the mental side of the game. Mr. Shapiro draws on material ranging from clinical psychology to zen, and from Hogan, Nicklaus & Woods to the double-digit handicappers most of us are more intimately familiar with in shaping a realistic and workable strategy for golfers of all abilities to not only get the most out of their golf games but to find more balanced lives away from the course. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Provides easy to understand golf related mental tips
Comment: This is the 3rd book on Mental Golf that I have read, and by far the best. The author provides a great test (similar to Myers-Briggs) that helps to focus on 6 areas that can be improved mentally. Each of these areas then has a chapter that has golf-related ideas (instead of some other books that provide overall life changing fixes...yuck) to get over the mental hurdles. For me, Hazard 5 (control freak) and 4 (trying to live up to other's expectations) were right on the money as far as the test scores then the anecdotes. I now have alot of new, useful golf-related ideas to try. Thanks!

Summary: Zen, existentialism, death anxiety - what else but GOLF?
Comment: One of those "little" books that turns out to be a gem of wisdom "Golf's Mental Hazards" is a book that will definitely inform your game, whether it's the game of golf or the game of life. A clincal psychologist, Dr. Shapiro employs a deft and insightful quiz to help the golfer establish his/her personality profile and then uses the profiles to point out strategies to improve the game. The book can be read as a straight "how-to" on the game of golf (and this avid duffer clearly knows and loves the game) but it also delves deeper into strategies that can inform and enhance the golfer's life when off the links, as well. Calling upon such eclectic references as Zen, Existentialist Psychology and death anxiety, Dr. Shapiro weaves together a philosophy of golf, and of living, that will expand the mind and spirit as much as it enhances the game. Delivered with both elegant insights and the rollicking style of a stand-up comic,"Golf's Mental Hazards" is a thoughtful, funny, delightful, and very helpful book, destined to become a classic in the literature of golf.
