Good tips for the average golfer
101 Mistakes offers many valuable tips for improving your golf game. The majority of the tips are geared toward the bogey golfer, who shoots around 90. These tips will help that golfer. If you are a low, single-digit handicap, you are unlikely to find many tips that you haven’t already heard. That said, I enjoyed the read!

Solid tips and advice to help golfers of all skill levels improve. While maybe geared more toward the beginner or novice, I'd venture to say that every golfer will get at least 1 or 2 tidbits from this book that will help their game, mental approach, or enjoyment of the game.

Why Do We Do What We Do?!
Sherman uses practical, sensible advice to help deal with the dreaded ‘rectal/cranial inversions’ so common to my game. Slow down, listen to him, have a plan, balance practice with course time,
and you’ll have less time with your head stuck up your….(ahem).
I wished there were occasional moments of humor, but all-in-all this is a book you can pick up and find yourself on the pages.

Very practical, easy to understand!
Many things you’ve heard over the years, but valuable and in small digestible doses that you can take to the course without overloading you.

Good stuff
Easy, digestible and helpful. More focus on “the inner game” than on how-to’s. Will do more for your scoring than most lessons!

Good study in what NOT to do
A short read that can benefit any golfer no matter what skill level. Common sense mistakes that everyone makes but fails to realize. Enjoyable!

Excellent perspective of the golf game and swing
Excellent read, the author understands the game and swing very well. Good read for all levels of golfer, high and low handicappers.

Well worth a read !
Every thing about your golf game neatly presented and summarized...very good synopsis. I'd refer to it often to keep developing my overall skill set.

Great ethos!
Solid tenets to adhere to in your golf game. Advice that most will be aware of and quite possibly neglecting when they play and practice.

Typical
What can I say, the contents was the same as many articles found in numerous golf magazine articles over the years.. Not at all original.

Good Tips
Most tips listed are known to many golfers but good to review and practice. Would be excellent for novice to intermediate players.

After going through two of Harvey Penick’s wonderful books, I decided to follow that up with more golf. What can I say; I love the game and every part of it. This book is a wonderful look inside the game and the little things that every single golfer can do to improve their game. It doesn’t try to change your swing, or give you step-by-step instruction, but instead dives into the mind and allows for easy to follow instruction with tips that are sure to improve anybody’s game if implemented on the course or even at the range. Wonderful read.

Very good suggestions for working on your game. Obviously 101 maybe more than you need, but it touches on more than few for most golfers. Improvement requires work and focus. And selecting a few ideas from this book can certainly provide a starting point. Most ideas are common sense and don't require additional investment. Just more thoughtfulness about your game.
