Celebrate the Masters with a Free Book and a Free Audiobook

Golf is Not a Game of Perfect ($15.99 Kindle), by Dr. Bob Rotella, is free to download at Audible this weekend.

Book Description
Dr. Bob Rotella is one of the hottest performance consultants in America today. Among his many professional clients are Nick Price (last year's Player of the Year), Tom Kite, Davis Love III, Pat Bradley, Brad Faxon, John Daly, and many others. Rotella, or "Doc," as most players refer to him, goes beyond just the usual mental aspects of the game and the reliance on specific techniques. What Rotella does here in this extraordinary book, and with his clients, is to create an attitude and a mindset about all aspects of a golfer's game, from mental preparation to competition. The most wonderful aspect of it all is that it is done in a conversational fashion, in a dynamic blend of anecdote and lesson. And, as some of the world's greatest golfers will attest, the results are spectacular. Golfers will improve their golf game and have more fun playing. Some of Rotella's maxims include:
  • On the first tee, a golfer must expect only two things of himself: to have fun, and to focus his mind properly on every shot.
  • Golfers must learn to love 'the challenge when they hit a ball into the rough, trees, or sand. The alternatives -- anger, fear, whining, and cheating -- do no good.
  • Confidence is crucial to good golf. Confidence is simply the aggregate of the thoughts you have about yourself.
  • It is more important to be decisive than to be correct when preparing to play any golf shot or putt.
Filled with delightful and insightful stories about golf and the golfers Rotella works with, Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect will improve the game of even the most casual weekend player.

The Road Hole Bunker Mystery ($2.99 Kindle), by William Meikle, is free at Smashwords this weekend.

Book Description
It is a routine case for Scottish private investigator John Royle-until a body turns up in the Road Hole Bunker at the 17th on the Old Course at St Andrews. Soon he's up to his ears in bodies and red herrings as the trail takes him through the social strata of town and gown, and the case grows to encompass the history, and the very future, of the old course itself.

Scottish writer William Meikle is author of more than 200 works of mystery, horror, and fantasy. Look for more Meikle books from Ghostwriter Publications.
