Publisher's summary
Gary Player's Black Book contains 50 questions and detailed responses from 18-time major winner Gary Player. The book, divided into three parts, focuses on specific scenarios and problems that arise in golf, life, and business. In the first section on golf, topics include putting, scoring, etiquette, the mental side of the game, and fitness and nutrition. In the section on life, Player, the father of six and grandfather to 22, addresses issues such as parenting, who to turn to when in need of advice, and more. Finally, in the section on business, he details how to deal with competition, among other topics. Player responds to questions such as:
- Golf: How do I play a bunker shot from a plugged lie?
- Life: I feel like I've lost the passion for what I do. How do I get that back?
- Business: When people criticize my work, I take it very personally. How do you handle criticism?
Player draws from both on- and off-the-course experiences dealing with competitors, businesspeople, and family. In doing so he offers a unique glimpse into handling adversity with regard to these relationships. The advice that he offers is invaluable to fans of all ages.

To be a golfer is to tinker-with everything from equipment to grip to swing. But one thing most players don't give enough attention to is the mental game. Psychologists aren't a new phenomenon in golf, but Dr. Michael Lardon is a different breed of performance coach. Instead of sending his players into a losing battle against emotion, indecision, and fear on the golf course, he shows them how to organize their thoughts and use them for maximum performance.

It is no secret that more than two-thirds of the shots a golfer makes are shorts ones: putts, chips, and pitches. Long drives may garner applause, but whether a golfer wants to win the Masters or just five bucks from a friend on Saturday morning, it’s the little shots that make the difference. In The Unstoppable Golfer, Dr. Bob Rotella takes the same wisdom and experience that have worked for clients like Davis Love III and David Toms to help you master this special art of short shots and avoid all the frustration out of this increasingly challenging element of the game.

It is no secret that more than two-thirds of the shots a golfer makes are shorts ones: putts, chips, and pitches. Long drives may garner applause, but whether a golfer wants to win the Masters or just five bucks from a friend on Saturday morning, it’s the little shots that make the difference. In The Unstoppable Golfer, Dr. Bob Rotella takes the same wisdom and experience that have worked for clients like Davis Love III and David Toms to help you master this special art of short shots and avoid all the frustration out of this increasingly challenging element of the game.

Golf is a beloved yet technical game, so a sound swing and precise technique are essential. Most golfers who want to improve their skills go to the range and work painstakingly on their swings, not realizing it's often their performance state on the course that needs work, not their technique. Simple things such as awareness of your balance, tension, and tempo, as well as the ability to control mental, emotional, and social variables you encounter while playing, can quickly take your game to a new performance level.

How to live life, with a little on golf mixed in
If you want to explore Gary players philosophy on life, hear his stories and learn about golf, a little bit, you picked an excellent audiobook.
I highly recommend this book unless you’re looking to play the game like Gary with specific technical tips. If you listen carefully you might hear the ups and downs of calming your mind on the golf course and in the business world.
You will get many specific and useful philosophical tips, plus things that have helped him over many decades of golf. I especially like hearing the stories from the 50s and the 60s that he helps me see as if it was yesterday.
The sections on how Gary Player helped South Africa through difficult transitions impressed me. It is hard to make good choices even when you know you’re right.
I especially liked that the book was read by someone who has a similar South African accent and can add that little extra bit of detail.

The first part of the audible book was good. Then it got into a business 101 story line that was very boring. Then it proceeded to tell how golf got political which I don’t care about. Not a great audible book for me.
