Easier Said Than Done - Dr. Rick Jensen

Every once an awhile I come across a book that makes an impact on me.  Dr. Rick Jensen is a Sports Psychologist from Orlando, Florida.  He's recently written a book called Easier Said Than Done.  It outlines the steps necessary to own your game.  He talks about the four steps to mastery.

1.  Understanding the Cause and Effect to improvement.
2.  Have your practice supervised from time to time by your coach.
3.  Transfer your training from the range to the course.
4.  Taking it to the course when keeping score.

As Dr. Jensen says, it takes time.  Taking a lesson and expecting to be improved tomorrow is unlikely.  You must practice the skill you're trying to improve.  This practice can be on the driving range or in front of a mirror.  The bottom line is it will take some time to ingrain a skill.  It didn't take you a day to learn how to walk or drive a car so don't expect the golf swing or short game to come over night.  Very profound words that often times go unnoticed by golfers.
Easier Said Than Done is a book that makes impact.
