IT’S ABOUT TIME…This game-changing book is long overdue. It advances a cutting-edge and practical blueprint for out-thinking, out-learning and out-performing your opponents. Its keen insights and research findings, conveyed in short and enjoyable chapters, offer eye-opening and unconventional options and paths. It explains why and how self-directed learners and independent thinkers improve the most. Why and how to understand and fix your swing by focusing on the connections among its parts – not on the actions of separate parts. Why and how “deliberate” – not random -- practice overrides ingrained and inefficient neural pathways to instill new and correct movement patterns. And why and how your “mirror neurons” – the special brain cells for imitative learning – are able to replicate the complex and nuanced swings of experts to induce rapid improvement. Ironically, I ordered copies of this amazing book for two of my fondest rivals. ---JND

I found Dr. Ragonnet's book to be much like a "shop manual" on how to build a proper golf swing. Unlike many instructors before, his book teaches one how to "disassemble " the golf swing, understand each part and then reassemble it. As an experienced Diesel Engine troubleshooter I learned to solve complex engine problems systematically. First, you understand the system, then approach each part beginning at square one. Dr. Ragonnet has done essentially the same thing for me here, beginning at address and leading to the follow through. An amazing piece of work that I find very easy to understand. No more "quick fixes" for me. I'll use his "shop manual" from now on and I'll tell all of my "close friends" about it as well. Thank you, Dr. Ragonnet.

Buying this book - I thought that the focus was on being my own pilot - the book focuses on every piece of golf advice know to man - by every significant golfer that there ever was. If i was to follow every piece of advice of hitting a golf ball correctly - i would have to go to a therapist - 5 times a week - im sorry i dont want to know what this one said and what that one said - i have been listening and reading golf books for 40 years - everybody contradicts everyone else - nothing really works for me consistently - only my own self-reliance works. This book is a virtual whos who of golf instruction - i would go insane if i have to check one more time if im swinging correctly

A great book for all golfers! Well written with fun and easy to read stories. Happy to add this to my collection.

I began my love/hate relationship with the game of golf at the age of ten. As a high school junior, I was awarded highest honors at the State of Maine Math Fair for my presentation on "The Mathematics of Golf". My project, however, was only beginning checkers compared to the 3-D chess masterpiece of Dr. Jim Ragonnet's book "Your Inner Golf Guru". Oh, how I wish I knew then what my favorite college professor knows now! I can't begin to guess how many strokes I could have saved over the five decades in between! I urge you to devour this text so that you can begin to take ownership of your own golf swing - with added insights throughout to benefit your outlook on all of life as well! It is a thoroughly researched, scientific, and yet fun read! (Steve Burkett, Springfield College, Class of 1976)

Highly Recommended. This book's scientific and innovative road-map will quickly elevate your game. It obliges you to assess, enhance and self-monitor your thinking, learning and doing. GOLF GURU differs dramatically from limited ball-striking methods and approaches that completely ignore how your mind, brain and muscles acquire complex motor skills. You can’t learn swing mechanics – or anything – unless you know how to learn and know how to motivate yourself to learn. I heartily recommend this revolutionary approach. CS

I liked the honesty of the author. The book is well and truly up to date with his approach to learning how to approach the game of golf.
