I have just picked up the revised edition of The Inner Game of Golf. I am looking forward to see what my thoughts are on the book after not reading it in years.

One quote from the book that intrigues me (in this age of anayzing every possible parameter of the golf swing) is this:

When I first wrote The Inner Game of Golf,I knew almost nothing about the mechanics of the golf swing. I had been challenged to see how much golf I could learn just by adapting the "inner skills" that I had developed while playing and coaching tennis. The master skill was that of "relaxed concentration," which required an ability to pay close attention to the movements of ball and body and to make accurate observations of the results. It also involved the skill of trust in the body's capacity to learn and execute complex movements without following a complex set of instructions.

It takes guts to take that approach in any field. More to come.
