”““After years of traveling the PGA TOUR and coaching at the highest level, I’ve met all the popular golf psychologists. Raymond’s rational, practical, and holistic approach to performance psychology is light-years ahead of anyone else and now available to everyone in Golf Beneath the Surface.””
—Nick Clearwater, vice president of instruction at GOLFTEC and one of Golf Digest’s 50 Best Teachers in America
”“Raymond can explain the what, why, and how golfers can play more freely, and confidently game better than anyone I’ve ever known. I only wish I would have known Raymond when I was still playing on tour.””
—Hal Sutton, PGA TOUR champion, two-time PLAYERS champion, and five-time Ryder Cup team member
”“Raymond Prior is one of the world’s leading experts in peak performance and brings that expertise to every golfer in Golf Beneath the Surface … Rather than giving readers a bunch of tired, outdated golf clichés, he teaches players to understand what the brain is designed to do and why that impacts how we play.””
—Chase Cooper, director of instruction at Hal Sutton Golf Academy
“”Golf Beneath the Surface truly provides helpful, research-backed processes to better a player’s thoughts, habits, and actions on the course. It replaces overused and outdated golf psychology myths with actionable steps that are proven to work. I can’t wait to use the new knowledge myself and will be recommending the book to my students and peers.“”
—Abby Mann, PGA player development and teaching professional
