It’s often said that golf is played on a five-inch course—the space between your ears—and there’s no better way to dial in your mental game than by curling up with a great book. While grinding it out on the range is vital for your muscle memory, hitting the books is the ultimate secret weapon for any player looking to shave strokes off their scorecard and find the bottom of the cup more often.

Whether you’re looking to deconstruct your swing mechanics, master your pre-shot routine, or find the right flexibility drills to keep you out of the rough and injury-free, we’ve got you covered. You can certainly hop around our site to find tips on reading slopes, mastering scorecard etiquette, or the latest in sim tech and alignment aids—but there is still something incredibly rewarding about a classic paper book. Think of it as the perfect “caddie” for your downtime; it’s the best way to gain that competitive edge before you even step onto the first tee.
