Automatic Golf: Hypnotherapy for Improving Your Game is a guide to help a golfer create the necessary frame of mind for improving his or her game. It emphasizes the mental aspect of the game. We have all watched a golfer take his or her practice swing and have seen how very different it often is from the swing that is actually put on the ball. Why the difference? The difference is mental. The mind, with all its doubts, fears, and feelings of unworthiness, often gets in the way of the golfer when he or she steps up to the tee.

The unending drive of champions who work endlessly on every nuance of the game will amaze you and, perhaps, inspire you on your next "good walk" around the links.

The follow-up to his acclaimed Silent Mind Golf, this new book sees Robin Sieger explore the concept of choking and apply his easy-to-grasp mental conditioning techniques to help golfers at all levels perform under pressure.
