The Gorilla Is Loose!: Your Best Golf Is Waiting Book Reviews

The Gorilla Is Loose!: Your Best Golf Is Waiting by Dave Johnston Book Summary

Have you ever hit a perfect shot? Can you recall the effortless feeling?

The secret to re-creating those shots consistently is learning how to access your natural ability.

The gorilla is a euphemism for your latent ability that lies beyond swing mechanics. 

Traditional golf instruction is based on technical perfection; the tacit assumption is that natural instincts are wrong and must be constantly suppressed. You've probably heard the expression that if "something feels right, it's probably wrong." This paradigm leads the once-a-week golfer into an endless cycle of fault-finding and error correction. This constant focus on mistakes creates a mental prison that stymies your ability to just hit the damn ball!

If you've ever hit a perfect shot, then you have the ability. All you need is the recipe. Learn how to stop repeating past mistakes.

Do you invest more energy reviewing swing faults or recalling your best shots? If you struggle to break ninety consistently, then the answer is obvious. 

Based on lessons with over eleven-thousand "average" golfers, The Gorilla Is Loose! is the second book in the award-winning Just Hit The Damn Ball! series. This easy to read, non-technical book, follows the struggles of Randy W, a 14 handicap golfer who has grown increasingly frustrated with his lack of improvement. Randy invests in lessons every season, plays once a week and wants to score in the eighties.

Does this sound familiar?

Your golf game is a by-product of the mental and physical actions you follow as soon as you arrive at the golf course. In golf jargon, these actions are known as "comfort zones".  The phrase refers to a sequence of thoughts and actions that have become habitual or unconscious. They start from the moment you park your car until you walk off the eighteenth green.

The first step for "breaking out" is awareness. Park in a different space. Tee off with a different club. Stop beating yourself up after a poor shot. Once you start breaking the chain of events, then you are free to release your gorilla and experience the essence of the game. 

Ben Hogan is credited with the axiom that "golf is a game of misses - whoever misses the game wins!"  

All the lessons, practice and new equipment will not lead to lower scores until you learn how to overcome common misconceptions about how the game should be played. Trust your instincts and let results be your guide.

If you're trapped in an endless cycle of trying to fix your swing, then let this book be a catalyst to help you play better than you ever thought possible!
