It’s not your typical golf book,but I am reading Psycho-Cybernetics right now (a classic mind management book) and there
are some references to golf:

1) “Jack Nicklause, the late Payne Stewart,
and many other top golfers have made very
specific statements about their reliance on
“the mental side of golf”. In foreword of the
book MIND OVER GOLF” … Payne Stewart
wrote” With my old mind set I don’t think I
would have been able to prevail in either
of those major championships. But with my
new mental approach, I was able to raise
my game to the highest level when I had to”
written by Dr. Richard Coop

Psych-Cyb: ” A Boston psychologist now
coaching pro golfers, profiled in Golf Magazine,
says “By My calculations, the average golfer
spends about 86% of their time doing nothing
but wrestling with their thoughts and emotions,
feeling one way or the another about what is
taking place, feeling exhilaration or anger,
struggling to keep focused, worrying about
what’s happened or what is up ahead.”
It only stand to reason that 86% of the
success / failure determination is due
to management of thoughts and emotions,
not swing mechanics or putting prowess.”

The best known way to improve your golf swing is to practice it often. The key to your practice is to be able to properly practice your stroke. Of significant importance in concern to your swing is revealing if your shot is “fat” or not.

“Your JRMat has been a pleasure to use. Because of the depth of the artificial turf, I can practice on my deck without any problem or feeling of hurting my left elbow. I can hit down on the ball, thus encouraging effective ball striking.

It has been a joy to practice and get some good exercise without a trip to the driving range.

Thank you for making such a great product that makes it fun to practice.”

This testimonial refers to an outdoor golf driving range mat that allows you to hit down on the ball, but your club will not slide across the mat but will stop and show the fat show you would have on a regular course. With this type of practice your swing will be more consistent and thus improve.
