Short-Sided Again: The Mental Games of a Mid-Handicap Golfer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798249199258)

When frustration steals the joy from your golf game, you have to take it back.

Fed up with playing like a pro on one hole and going full meltdown on the next? Perplexed by how you can shoot a round below your handicap then blow up the next time out? You're not alone. Tom Puckett is one of us-a mid-handicapper who hit the frustration wall and had to find a way through it. His book takes you on an honest, insightful, and entertaining journey from What if this is the best I can play? to This is how I can play my best.

More than a technical swing-fix book, this is a revealing exploration of the mental game as mid-handicap golfers actually experience it. Once you understand the why behind your uneven performance, the how to improve consistency and mental composure feels like common sense.

Better than a fresh start, it gives you credit for the skills you already have to build the foundation for the next phase of your game. You'll discover a fresh perspective that deepens your connection with golf-a book with heart that teaches you to play with heart. You'll learn to enjoy the game more and build real golf confidence from the inside out.
Through real stories, relatable humor, and practical tools, you'll explore the psychological, emotional, and tactical sides of the mental game of golf in terms you can grasp and actually use:

• Learn why your inner voice is not you-and isn't helping you
• Gain control over ego and destructive anger
• Apply a revealing self-assessment (the Three Mind Survey) to work with your natural emotional tendencies
• Replace mechanical overthinking with powerful, reliable golf visualization
• Dial in inner alignment by syncing the golfer you want to be with your best self

Stop short-siding yourself. Whether you're grinding to break 90, battling inconsistency, or just wanting to enjoy golf again, this book meets you right where you are-with humor, solid advice, and a golf mindset shift toward happier, more satisfying rounds.
