“Mental training is often neglected, even though golf on a certain level almost solely is played ‘in between the ears’. That is why it is particularly important that mental skills are rated as high at practice as technic, tactic and stamina. In this book Nina Nittinger explains what mental training is and how you can implement and apply this. The exercises and worksheets are genius – I will definitely put these into practice with my junior national players.”
