And this one's for Adobe Digital Editions, for EPUBs.
And a note about EPUBs: The reason I started doing an EPUB version is because this is the version used by Apple, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, and Diesel eBooks on their readers. Smashwords distributes to these outlets for me, and you can check out samples of the books by going to the Smashwords links for each book. But because I specifically create the EPUB I sell direct, as opposed to the one Smashwords generates from a generic file, I think mine looks better. Just bear in mind that the EPUB from this site should run on any EPUB reader.
Focus on Getting a Stronger Self-Belief
Think Like a Golfer
In many ways modern sports psychology is a child of the self-help movement of the early 20th Century. The idea that individuals could easily learn enough psychology to improve their personal performance was radical then, but commonplace today.
However, these early self-help writers built their approach using theological terms which were commonly understood at the time. In our modern world, that is no longer the case—although the terms themselves are still widely used. As a result, much of what passes for sports psychology sounds more like "wishcraft."
In Think Like a Golfer Mike Southern, author of the long-running Ruthless Golf blog, teaches you the lost concepts behind the terms... and he does it without writing an evangelistic tract! "The basics of self-belief," he writes, "are the same whether you're talking about belief in God, belief in yourself, or belief that your car will start when you turn the key in the morning."
In this book you'll learn:
- how true self-belief differs from mere self-hypnosis and wishful thinking
- the mechanics of self-belief—how a belief is actually built and grounded in reality so it improves your performance
- why trying to believe "hard enough" rarely works
- what useful self-talk sounds like and techniques for getting dependable results
- how self-belief helps you make better strategy decisions on the course
- how to avoid the pitfalls of self-doubt and deal with pressure
- what "the Zone" is and how it's related to self-belief

Focus on Building a New Putting Stroke
The Putt Whisperer
Now he teaches you how to build a completely new putting stroke from scratch.
When the USGA and the R&A decided to outlaw anchored putting strokes in 2016, it caught many weekend golfers off-guard. Most had gone to the belly putter because they couldn't putt well with a regular-length putter. Those golfers are no longer sure what they should do.
The Putt Whisperer explains:
- exactly why the belly putter appears to help some players while not helping others
- teaches you how to build a personalized putting stroke that incorporates all the necessary fundamentals
- includes drills to teach you how a good stroke feels, and a process to help you develop a stroke you can trust
Don't struggle to make putts. Become a Putt Whisperer! Order now for only $4.99!
