Chevy Chase's infamous speech from the movie Caddyshack provides the perfect title for this book, which deals with the mental side of golf. Be the Ball includes interviews with more than 100 professional and amateur golfers and instructors -- each telling readers how they, too, can reach this higher state of control. Some of the biggest names in golf offer their unique tips, philosophy, and thoughts on becoming the very best golfer in the world.

This is an immensely readable book someone picked up for me during one of my spikes in golf earnestness. Now that I am in a dip and golfing only twice a year, I still read this. It's very easy to translate the principals into regular life success and peace. The book is split into 1/2 page to 1 page

long quotes from all kinds of golf experts. More than half are players or ex-players, but some are golf coaches, athletes from other sports talking about how sports psychology extends to golf, golf pros, actors, everyone. Although the book is divided into chapters with some common theme and even some prose, I typically pick this up and randomly pick 2-4 sections/quotes to read then put it down. It's not going to fundamentally change your swing, but will change how you approach a hole and react to your performance on it. Show Less
