Wow, this is a great book. Really opened my eyes to the fact the our world has many long tails. As technology like the Internet makes the world smaller, people will have the ability to dig deeper and deeper into the long tail and find niches that appeal to them more than the “one size [...]

Very fun read and lots of good suggestions for building a solid mental game. Nothing especially new to me, but good to review the importance of items like: a sound and consistent pre-shot routine playing one shot at a time, staying in the present – it amazes me still how much golf and life are [...]
