Golf books

[Orikoru]

Glad someone bumped this - can anyone recommend a really good book on golf psychology, for example, continuing to play well when you're in the lead and not capitulating? I've already read a couple of Rotella's books so maybe something different this time. Have seen a couple others with good reviews such as Zen Golf and Fearless Golf but not sure which one to go for.

Thought these books were really good:
The Four Foundations of Golf
The Foundations of Winning Golf

Enjoyed this as well from Karl Morris (he does a good golf psychology podcast called Mind Caddie):
The Lost Art of Playing Golf

Anymore current or recent recommendations?
Used to be a great reader in my younger days but hardly touch a book now. Spend too much time online, YouTube, etc.
So going to try make an effort to get back into reading more over the winter.

Did you get either of those books. I'm going away soon and need to stock up on reading material and I've come across these but not sure what to pull the pin on.

Yeah I read Zen Golf, it was a bit hippie-esque though and I found it a little boring.

I am now reading "How To Play Golf Without Giving A F___" by Steve Johnson. It's very short and a little silly, and pretty much just repeats the same message throughout with similar examples. But hopefully it drums it into my head to stop caring.

Might give Zen golf a miss then and go for Fearless golf, I mainly read to pass the time and enjoy things that make your brain work but can't be dealing with hippy crap

I've just bought 2 Alan shipnuck books - the Phil one and the Liv one, 7quid for the 2 of them from world of books.

Started the Phil one last night and it's been entertaining so far.

I listened to NLU’s interview with Steve Wheatcroft and found him that interesting have ordered his new book, Cocktails and range balls, ones too many tens not enough. Would recommend that podcast and willing to bet book will be a good read too
