It Works ! Lower Handicap

I've had the pleasure to take instruction and buy the "Seven Principles" of golf and it has lowered my handicap by 10 strokes. Confidence built in putting alone is a major lesson learned. Darrin has a way of helping everyone. I'm sure this will be helpful as well. Thanks again Darrin. Dave Wilber Sr.

Great advice!

Darrin, I have purchased two of your books for my son Karl and I can see his mental golf game improving by the game. He is so confidint that he has joined a group with the local Panthers (our Professional hockey team). They paly every Thursdy and he gives them "a run for their money". It was great meeting you in Hawaii and I hope to return again for a few lessons. "Four" Karen Scinta

Find Your Confidence

Darrin Gee's "The Seven Principles of Golf" can change your game. It offers an integration of mind and body that will give you confidence and help you enjoy the game of golf again. It will help you to swing the club, instead of hitting the ball. I have read hundreds of books on golf, but only a few have a special shelf in my golf library. Gee's book sits on that shelf along with Harvey Pennick's books, Pelz's "Short Game Bible," and Jack Nicklaus's "Golf My Way." Thank you Darrin Gee.

Ground Breaking

Performance enhancement in golf traditionally follows three paths: Take lessons from a pro, get fitted for custom equipment, and develop the flexibility and strength to maximize your body's swing potential. Eventually, a golfer realizes that these three paths can only take one so far. A fourth path has emerged in the last several years that explores the role of mental preparation as a means of improving one's game. After years of examining this issue, Darrin Gee came to the realization that personality type was a crucial determining factor influencing the willingness of a golfer to embrace this fourth path. Darrin has a degree in psychology and writes from the perspective of a professional. This book is a simple, clear, and informative distillation of Darrin's findings. After a golfer has invested thousands of dollars to improve his or her game, the answer to the final step necessary to make the leap to a new level of performance and enjoyment of the game may very well rest between the covers of this timely and unique book. Well worth the investment!! PS. I am a Freddy Couples type all the way.
