Written by respected sport psychologists Vicki Aitken and Daniel Weigand, CADDY-TALK is the first book to outline one of golf's most critical roles: the psychological aspects of being a great caddy. It's a "how to" book, applying tried and tested performance-enhancing sport psychology techniques to the science of caddying, including tips of the trade from some of the worlds best.   Quotes from interviews with caddies Steve Williams (Tiger Woods' caddy), Mark Fulcher (caddying on the men's European Tour), Fred "Bassett" (24 years experience on the Ladies European Tour: LET), Mike Patterson (Karrie Webb's caddy), and an anonymous (and well respected) tour caddy who works on the U.S. Ladies Professional Golf Association tour and LET, are woven into every chapter.Their insights provide excellent examples, which highlight the lessons learned from the authors' years of extensive research and consulting experience.
A book also for every golfer, CADDY-TALK highlights information that is important for players too. CADDY-TALK reveals how caddies help their golfers play better, which you'll then be able to use in your own game.
And players who regularly use caddies will learn what to look for when choosing a caddy, and how to best work with a caddy to get the most out of their own game. Topics addressed include the communication process (including self-talk), decision making, goal setting, competition routines, barriers to effective caddy-player relations and switching-off (thinking during "down" time). Furthermore, each of the caddies' case studies are included. |
