This is an outstanding narrative for reading aloud to second graders studying Alaska, birds, or migration. It's inspiring, well-written, and full of powerful vocabulary. Lovely, realistic watercolor illustrations.

Book Description

GOLF IS A GAME OF CONFIDENCE

Dr. Bob Rotella, whose clients include Nick Price, Davis Love III, Tom Kite and Pat Bradley, is firmly established as the premier performance enhancement specialist in the golf world. In Golf Is a Game of Confidence, "Doc" Rotella focuses on the most important skill a golfer can have: the ability to think confidently.

GOLF IS NOT A GAME OF PERFECT

In Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect, Rotella goes beyond the usual mental aspects of the game and creates a mindset about all aspects of a golfer's game, from mental preparation to competition. With a dynamic blend of anecdote and lesson, Rotella helps golfers improve their game and have more fun playing.

PUTTING OUT OF YOUR MIND

In Putting Out of Your Mind, Rotella offers entertaining putting. He reveals the unique mental approach that great putting requires and helps golfers of all levels master this essential skill.

THE GOLF OF YOUR DREAMS

The Golf of Your Dreams offers a programmatic guide for the golfer who is determined to get better but hasn't figured out how to go about it. It is an approach that Dr. Rotella and his clients have tested for over twenty years, one that has been proven to work consistently with all levels of golfers.

Customer Reviews:

40 years later and finally got a clue.......2007-06-14

Playing golf, getting lessons from the like of the great Dave Stockton(Mac O'grady system) and , attending the Masters for the last 10 years..none of that helped me like these Cds.
My attitude and direction for a better game helped me garner my 1st Senior National Championship 2007 (1st flight Costa Rica). Find a pro, learn the mechanical side, and most importantly, trust the Rotella Mental game!

Happy Game.......2007-04-14

I'd really had few expectations about something like a psychologist saying things about golf playing. But I found myself so nervous last amateur tournament I engaged, that I was about to try anything. What a surprise!! Not only my game has improved immediately, but, most important, I'm having much more fun. My government has charged me 60% import taxes but it worthed every nickel.

A Must Have.......2007-02-20

It's amazing how Rotella knows every single thought that passes through a golfers mind while putting, approaching or while making any other type of shot. The examples and exercises are very helpful, I thought it would be difficult to imagine all the scenarios, since this is my first audiobook, but I had no problems at all! If you play golf and want to improve your game and handicap this is definitely a must have!

Rotella is a must for any serious golfer.......2007-02-15

Fantastic value for money. Any experienced golfer will understand the importance of the metal game of golf. This series of cds will get you thinking differently about golf - I have just had two shots shaved off my handicap!!

Rotella Rules.......2006-03-09

Having read a couple of Rotella's books I knew what to expect, but listening to the CD's was still very helpful. His level headed approach to keeping your cool and playing in the moment should do much to keep my head in the game.
His advice is not trendy or overdone. Very practical but very believable.
His style is anectodal, informal and approachable. Well worth a listen.

Great Uncomplicated Recipes.......2000-05-12

I found this cookbook easy to follow and the recipes uncomplicated. You can't go wrong with the Spicy Asian Meatballs, Garlic Cheese Spread, or the Low-Fat Cheesecake among others. I have used many of Robin's recipes for cocktail parties and they are a huge hit. Great advice and fun stories from her personal life all make a good read. Just wish Robin still had her cooking show on Lifetime. The fact that I have met her on several occasions and she is always warm and friendly, makes this all the more enjoyable!

Terrific Cookbook!.......1998-11-22

I already have two favorites; ROBIN'S FIESTY PASTA, and FETTUCCINE WITH ZUCCHINI AND FRESH TOMATOE SAUCE. My family always welcome their arrival to the table and I enjoy cooking them. It was surprising how simple they were to prepare and how great tasting in the end. Being a fan of AMC for over 20 years, knowing more about Robin made it even more enjoyable. I plan to give it as a gift this Christmas.

This was a very enjoyable book to read and I loved it.......1998-05-14

Robin had wonderful recipes and I loved the stories she shared about her life. She is a good author and a great cook.

One recipe I loved was for Turkey meatloaves. Everyone shoudl try that. My parents loved it, too.

Robin is a great actress, author, cook, and an over all wonderful person!

Bravo!!!.......1998-02-14

This is an excellent cookbook written by my favorite Soap Opera actress. It is obvious that Robin is a wonderful cook since I have already tried several of her recipes and they are great. If you want a great cookbook and a hint of who *Janet from another Planet* really is....buy this cookbook!

Twins on The Young and The Beautiful.......2004-12-29

Elizabeth and Jessica appear on a soap called The Young and The Beautiful to raise money to buy a new Jeep,because their Fiat spider is on it's last legs,so Elizabeth and Jessica appear as Tiffany and I forgot the other name.They meet Brandon Hunter,the star of the show.Jessica is going to parties with him.Sam Woodruff appears in a Batman suit and askes her to take Sam back and Jess Says "Yes" .It seems to me that Brandon wanted to boost his Image with Jessica. What a Creep!

fun...........2001-08-03

Jessica and Elizabeth score roles on a popular soap-opera.A fun load of fluff!

Why does Jessica get away with murder?.......2000-06-15

I don't understand the issues that this book presents. Jessica being the manipulative witch that she is, manages to dupe her dopey twin Elizabeth into going to an audition with her. Once, Elizabeth finally realises what's going on (about 2 hours later) she makes a scene and storms out. The Unicorn-headed woman (read the book) nods her approval and assigns Jessica and Elizabeth the parts of Tiffany and Tammy (or whatever their names were). Ironically, Jessica is given the part of the sweet and caring twin (being that she is anything but) and Elizabeth is finally given the chance to express herself as the nasty and manipulative twin. Soon, Jessica is parading around Sweet Valley like she owns the place and ends up falling for the charms of slimey Brandon Hunter, the gorgeous star of the TV series. Since it is so obvious that Brandon is milking his so-called romance with Jessica for all its worth, the same cannot be said of 'innocent' Jessie (yeah, right). Jessica is convinced that she is in love with Brandon and dumps the ever-dependable Sam Woodruff for a guy who spends more time looking the mirror than she does. Fortunately, thanks to her helpful twin, Jessica soon realises that she has been used (yeah right, like she's never done it to anyone else before) and vows revenge upon poor ol' Brandon. She exacts her revenge by humiliating Brandon on live television and at the same time making amends with Sam by declaring her love for him. Unfortunately, there is no one around to give Jessica a good dose of reality by slapping her around her smug face and making her realise what a self-centered jerk she has been. Fortunately, they all live happily ever after until the next earthquake/death/kidnapping, etc. So, we are still left with a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside.

This book is a positve #10!.......1997-02-10

This book is so great! I think it is really romantic in a way because Jessica falls for a soap star when she and Elizabeth get starring roles in a soap opra. But he is just faking and when Jessica finds out (After she breaks up with Sam) she set out for revenge, even though it might ruin her chance at being a famous actress

I greatly enjoyed RUBY PARKER. The infusion of soaps, romance and bad girls made it a fun, fast read. I look forward to reading more books by Rowan Coleman.

its ok I suppose.......2005-12-12

This is a great book, very romantic and it feels as if you are a part of it. But there is something about it that makes it a bit cheesy. And it dosn't really teach say your kids a very good lesson as Ruby is sometimes a bit stuck up and it will say to them that being famous means everything, but it dosn't. The storyline itself is good but personaly when i'm older I will not want my kids to read this, as they will want to be famous and then they might have their hopes ripped out because they are let down. But this book is gaurented to get thier imaginations spinning.
