About this listen
Most books written about golf are either by famous golfers or famous mental coaches. I am neither. I am, however, a Tournament Golfer. —Mike Booker
For over 50 years, Mike has competed against and alongside some of the most accomplished Tournament Golfers including Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, and Arnold Palmer. Through practice and observation, he came to recognize that certain common traits define the Tournament Golfer mindset. He didn’t invent them; he just put them all together in one place.
He has written principally for the Golfer-Who-Plays-Tournaments who wants to become a Tournament Golfer and for the Tournament Golfer who wants to win more tournaments. This book is for those who wish to compete. But if competition is not your goal, you will find the “Life Hacks” at the ends of the chapters to be valuable to you on and off the golf course.
Any meaningful accomplishment I have experienced in my business as a successful financial advisor, or in my personal life, can be traced back to my experiences on the golf course and what I learned there about myself and others. What I have learned, I share with you.
This audiobook is expertly read by Lee Goettl, with audio engineering by Matthew Kulewicz, MPSE. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

When Tiger Woods went on an extraordinary majors run between 1999 and 2008, one man stood at his side: his caddie Steve Williams. Together Steve and Tiger dominated the PGA Tour and won an astonishing 13 major championships, their sights set on breaking Jack Nicklaus’s record 18 majors. Before they could overtake Nicklaus, however, their partnership ended abruptly, and a 12-year period without talking began. Years later, the two reconnected. Together We Roared offers an inside look at what it is like to ride alongside greatness.

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.
