Is your personality affecting your game? Do you approach every shot with a go-for-broke attitude, even when the moment might reward a more deliberate, methodical strategy? Or do you carefully calculate every swing, even when a bit of reckless abandon might give you a better chance of getting out of a jam?

Every golfer, whether amateur or pro, has a dominant personality: a set of traits that sometimes helps you win--but sometimes lands you in the rough. By carefully observing professional golfers' behavior and analyzing his own students' successes and failures, leading mental golf instructor Darrin Gee has identified seven basic personality types and the on-the-course strengths and weaknesses each confers.

Gee illustrates the basic characteristics of each type with accounts of great players' performances, both brilliant and disastrous. Are you naturally an "Intimidator" (Tiger Woods)? A "Methodologist" (Nick Faldo)? A "Gamesman" (Lee Trevino)? Take a quick questionnaire to determine your personality. Gee then shows you how to use your personality to your advantage while outlining situations where you'd be wise to take a tip from another personality's playbook. The latest of Gee's insightful guides, The Seven Personalities of Golf offers essential advice for any golfer wanting to improve his or her mental game.
