Amazing and liberating.
As a former professional baseball player still in the game there are many parallels to baseball. Being a dynamic learner is very necessary to enjoy the game of baseball, golf or life. I have always believed in a unique training environment and have already seen freedom in my body and trust looking to create shots vs create swings in 3 days. Having gotten to 2.8 handicap and stuck in place this is a powerful resource moving forward. Great work. Excited!

If you want to make a breakthrough...
After reading The Lost Art of Putting I tried this. Been improving and have a life goal to shoot par but couldn't beat 75. Yesterday I skipped +2 and +1 and shot level par for the first time!
I think the Putting book has a better flow, so dip into this or skip to suit you. The big thing is changing mindset to focus on shots vs swings.
As always thanks Karl (and Gary) for wonderful insight!

Great golf tios
I love how the book dictates that you are not a robot as most golf instructions try that method. Explore your shot making and have fun. Forget about the 101 movements you make during a golf swimg.

powerful insight
I am only 3 years into golf but improving quickly and love the emphasis on shot creation rather than chasing the perfect swing. This book will help anyone lower their handicap and improve their on- course performance and enjoyment of the game.

“You never know how many Tuesdays you have left.” Really great read. Some great tips that can easily be applied to your game and there ones that are easy to incorporate every time you play. Highly recommended.

Made me re-evaluate how I play golf. Concentrate on making each shot happen and continue to make the most of each opportunity to play.

Great read!
I’m a 3 handicap trying to get to scratch... so many helpful nuggets. Worth reading and wish I had when I was a bogey golfer (and even more so when I was a 10).

Shot Making Ideas.
Some interesting ideas about practice, but not really a radical rethinking of golf instruction. I did like their emphasis on the shot rather than the swing.
