Reviews for my Golf Sense Book

Here are a few of the comments I have received to date the book.

"I am very encouraged about the techniques in your book and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
David Balbi, 1999 NCPGA Teacher of the Year

"What Golf Sense enables you to do is eliminate frustration and confusion, because you are able to self diagnose “problems” through awareness and attention. It also allows you to make progress and improvements naturally and continuously. Your book bridges the gap between idea and practice by giving practical examples of how to attain this “state” called The Zone."
Andrew Neil, Australia

"...a completely different approach to golf psychology.  The more of the book I read the more I knew that there was gold in these pages...Golf Sense is a unique approach to golf psychology and I recommend this book to golfers of all levels.  If you are trying to get to the next level, then you must read this book." David Wakeman, WorldGolfEmporium (see full review at the site)

"The amateur and the golf professional can both benefit from this book..... If you are in the moment, you are more likely to find The Zone. A Must read for all golfers!" Rob McGill, PGA Golf Pro, http://www.rm4golf.com/


"..a fascinating book that any golfer, regardless of talent level, can benefit from reading. Palmer understands the psychology of this great game and possesses a talent in conveying abstract material to the reader in a fashion that is easy to understand and apply to his or her own game."
Adam Fonseca, TheChicagoDuffer (see full review here)


"Absolutely loved the book. Have used and tried all the exercises. I am walking taller and enjoying golf even more with this refreshing perspective. Well done! A must read for all golfers."

"I love this book and have used the author's suggestions with my students (and on myself) with great success. Over the years I believe I've tried and read everything about golf. This is something new. I'm reading the book again now for the 2nd time.

I was working with a USC football player today - he was was so encouraged because he finally got what it means to not try so hard. The terminology in the book is helping me help my students better understand what I am trying to tell them. The part about not clenching your teeth is so simple and yet so profound. When this student (and myself, when I tried it) followed Palmer's instructions wee noticed that we were freer to swing and felt lighter on our feet. It really works! My student and I both felt encouraged and excited.

This material helps you free your mind. That's something I've been trying to get across to students for years. This book has given me the language and tools to express that. The terminology found here is very helpful and it's reinvigorated my teaching and my game. Every golfer should read this book. In fact I'm giving a copy to one of my favorite customers, the USC Golf Coach. A lot of my other favorite customers want my copy, I don't want to give my copy away so I'm sending them here!"

"Roy Palmer helps us understand what makes us take a great swing one time and such a poor swing the next in his book “Golf Sense, Practical Tips On How To Play Golf In The Zone”. Through a series of self observations, and practical exercises he illustrates that “less is more” when it comes to the golf swing. By eliminating unnecessary movements in our pre-shot routine we are able to relax, quite our minds, and begin to focus on feeling the correct movement.

One exercise that worked for me as soon as I tried it was “Poised For Success”. The author suggests that we stand in golf posture address and image a sting attached to the top of your head pulling you up so you get taller at the same time image the ground pushing your feet up. Try it for yourself and tell me if that doesn’t help you get into a great athletics position.

This book is a insightful and refreshing look at the mental approach to playing your best golf. The author challenges us to evaluate our concepts on how to move our bodies and face bad habits we may have developed in the golf swing. By staying away from useless swing thoughts and technical mechanics we are taught to focus of the fundamentals of movement that allow us to get into The Zone. In the end we can all be better golfers by putting the ideas in the book into practice."

"Yesterday was the first competition I had played at home since reading your book, and I have to say, you have pulled me up from usually bottom place in the last year (out of four to 10 players), to second place (almost first!).  So it’s working!  I had an excellent, steady game, and the loss of points were mainly due to unknown factors or wrong choice of club or shot for the circumstances, so the latter I can work on.  I felt great all the way round, and I am full of hope, now. Your book has brought out the good shots in me (that I knew I had) on a much more consistent basis, and cut down on the stupid wild errors."

"I have noticed a definite slowing down of my swing and therefore making a more solid shot which has resulted in both more distance and accuracy.  Especially on wedge shots I have noticed I am able to better stay down through the entire swing, again a more accurate shot.  Also with putts, by being relaxed I am taking the putter head back a lot smoother therefore keeping it more on line."
Bob Mori, Connecticut, USA


"I played my first 18 holes in over a year at Puckrup Hall Tewkesbury. It was a catch up with a good mate so I didn't concentrate too much on my game but managed to keep up OK. Then I started to get ragged so began to think about things I'd learnt in your book including the tip to let the light come up from the ball.

I focused on the ball but deliberately tried to do this passively as instructed. I became aware that I was not thinking about what I needed to do next. The ball, this bit sounds wacky, appeared to sit up, almost hover and become slightly bigger and brighter. It looked for all the world to be presenting itself for a clean hit! And sure enough I began a sequence of great tee and fairway shots with a brilliant finale.

The 18th is a 180 yards par 3 over a small valley and large lake with an audience in the hotel restaurant! My pal Tony, former club captain and team member, put his tee shot in the lake. I hit a soaring shot onto the green, putts up from 25 feet and putts out for a par!  Golf is a great game."
Bob Howard-Spink, Northamptonshire, UK


"I felt his writings and exercises (many of which can be done without a club and while you're actually reading the book) would really help me find that happy place to exist in during a round. For example, he points to tension in the swing as a major cause of poor play - tension that you may not even know you have since habitually, you've swung the same way for so many years.

But realizing the cause of your poor golf shots is only the beginning. Golf Sense is packed with simple ways to put you in (and keep you in) a calm and relaxed state of mind on the course (which will translate into a more relaxed swing, and subsequently lower scores). I have to say, I'm anxious to give it a try. "
