Sports psychologist Valiante follows in the footsteps of Bob Rotella ("Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect") and W. Timothy Gallwey ("The Inner Game of Golf") by coming at golf from a psychological perspective. A "mental game consultant" for "Golf Digest", the Golf Channel, and the University of Florida, he has worked with some of the PGA's biggest players. In popular parlance, Valiante is golf's equivalent of Oprah's Dr. Phil. Here, he uses real-life examples to demonstrate his operative principles, of which the foremost is overcoming fear: "When I turn my critical eye on all these [gold championships] there is one thing the great champions manage to overcome." He offers quotes from and anecdotes about both historical greats (Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus) and current top performers on the PGA tour (Chad Campbell, Justin Leonard, Davis Love III). The upside to "Fearless Golf" is that it is highly readable and offers insight for most golfers. On the other hand, following Rotella's seminal book, this breaks little new ground. Libraries with large sports collections might consider. -Steve Silkunas, North Wales, PA
