It’s actually just one, only that it was over several days...
Didn’t hear anyone moaning about my 16 points around Royal Cinque Ports at the Kent meet! ?
16 points was probably a par score at RCP in those weather conditions.

Golf is not a game of Perfect is a decent book. Deserves its success, and he did bring a new idea/perpective to the world of golf psychology. But in truth, it could have been explained and written in about two pages. Brevity of explanation doesnt undermine its merit, but I suppose than doesnt make a money making book, so he had to spin it out. The subsequent books were really unnecessary to all but Bob's bank account, and just a rehash of the same thing, told over and over and over and over and over and over, but adding nothing to what is in GINAGOP.

Haha! It was tough, as you may remember, but not quite.
With my progress after Sunningdale now I don’t think anyone will have to worry about me winning any more coming meets now. At least I hope so.

It's starting to look like an interesting game at Princes...

I played some half decent golf at Royal Cinque Ports that day (if it was the November 2018 trip). I can't remember exactly, but I think it was about 27/28/29 points. Was quite happy with that in those conditions. I think I won a few quid that day so it paid for my beers that night anyway. But I still have nightmares about the conditions the next day at Royal St Georges. Or for the 7 holes of it that I saw, anyway.

The worst of it was stumbling into the halfway hut to be told by the cheery chappie serving that the seven days before had been fantastic, bone dry & sunshine, and the seven days after were supposed to be even better. How he didn't wear the Bovril I don't know.

The Rotella teaching ethos is interesting and does supply some interesting and I guess common sense nuggets of advice. I've read a few of the books and for a time they do make a difference for a short time before I revert to my golfing type which I am coming to the conclusion isn't wired to think well around the course

Great book, need to go back occasionally and refresh myself! Need to work at the principles I’ve found (like anything I suppose) but well worth it.

Got this on my Kindle, but never got around to reading it. Going to give it a go
How champions think is decent as well by Bob Rotella, I bought it for work and life purposes.
Just bought the audible off this book and halfway through chapter 2 already ?

Love this book. I also like his book 'Putting out of your mind'.
Similar books I recommend are 'Zen Golf' and 'Be A Player'.
I've seriously got into the psychological side of golf (and life in general) in the last couple of years and it's really helped my game come on leaps and bounds.

Absolutely this!
Great book and works because it stresses the same things in several different-ish ways. So perhaps spinning it out/repeating the message is actually good! but no need to buy 'more of the same'! Some excellent drills.

It's an area I've dabbled with but want to delve deeper. Definitely found it helped (short term) but I tend to drift back into old thought patterns

I’ll get you a pint or 2 at H4H for it.
Sorry mate can only find 'Golf is not a game of perfect' at the moment sure I brought both. Will have another look at the weekend!
Well, tried it out tonight and definitely improved my game, drifted off it a wee bit in the middle of my round but got it back, it’s something I’m going to try and work on ?

I have just bought the Kindle version on the strength of everyone’s comments. I shall blame you all if I‘m not a Cat 1 golfer by next month.
