Book Review: Golf is Not a Game of Perfect

Golf is Not a Game of Perfect by Dr. Bob Rotella with Bob Cullen, is an interesting look at the mental aspect of golf.

He boils mental game keys down into simple, easy to understand instructions, going so far as to add an appendix called “Rotella’s Rules” that can be studied periodically to keep the ideas fresh in the mind.

Book Review: Paper Tiger

Equipment Review: Nike Xtreme Sport Carry Bag

Until recently, I’ve always been a cart bag person. When I walk, I’ll typically use a walker to tote my bag. A while back, the strap on my bag broke, so I used that as an excuse to start shopping around.

I recently tried on the Nike Xtreme Sport bag and liked it enough to buy it. Stop in and read the review to see how I liked it.
