Amazon.co.uk: Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect: Books: Robert J. Rotella,Bob Cullen: "
One of golf guru Jim Flick's mantras is that golf is 90 percent mental and the other 10 per cent is mental, too. Dr. Bob Rotella, a noted sports psychologist and performance consultant, roots around the golfer's mind to expose--and analyse- -the doubts, the fears and the frustrations that haunt anyone who's ever picked up a club and swung it. Through anecdote and aphorism he suggests how these mental and emotional hazards can be played through, and, regardless of skill level, how teeing off with a more positive and confident outlook will translate into better performance. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Synopsis
Dr Bob Rotella is one of the hottest golfing performance consultants in the world today. Unlike other performance consultants, Rotella goes beyond the usual mental aspects of the game and the reliance on specific techniques. In this extraordinary book, and with his clients, he creates an attitude and a mindset about all aspects of the golfer's game, from mental preparation to competition. And, as some of the world's greatest golfers will attest, the results are spectacular. Filled with charming 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.

Amazon.co.uk: Top 100 Golf Courses of the British Isles: Books: Keith Baxter: "Picked this title up at Aberdovey GC and I haven't been able to put it down since. The honest reviews from real golfers are great to read and I have to say in the most part these reviews are accurate. Some of the pictures are brilliant and others are OK but that's because most of the photos are not the work of professional golf course photographers. It could do with a map for travelling golfers showing where the courses are in relation to each other but apart from that it's a nice book and one which will appeal to golfers who like playing different courses."

Donald Trump golf course rejected by council

November, 2007. The Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) has applauded a landmark decision by Aberdeenshire Infrastructure Services Committee to reject Donald Trump’s outline planning application for golf course resort development at Balmedie north of Aberdeen. The proposal would have seen the destruction of a one of the most spectacular dune habitats in Scotland, a site specially designated due to its national importance.

Victory for the environment over the dollar
The rejection overrules the approval given by the Formantine Planning Committee of Aberdeenshire Council. Paul F. Gallagher, SWT’s National Planning Co-ordinator said: ‘Today’s decision is a clear victory for the environment over the dollar. The Scottish Wildlife Trust voiced concerns over the environmental impact this development would have on one of top five sand dune systems in the UK and Trump’s organisation (TIGLS) ignored all calls for this development to be moved away from this sensitive area.

Under the provisions of the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004 local authorities, such as Aberdeenshire Council, have a statutory duty to conserve biodiversity. This is the right and proper decision and just shows that the people of Aberdeenshire consider and care for their local environment. ‘

Golf | Golf | Magazine owes Woods' wife money, apology | Seattle Times Newspaper: "Golf | Magazine owes Woods' wife money, apology By The Associated Press and Reuters Related * PGA leaderboard DUBLIN, Ireland — The wife of top-ranked Tiger Woods won $183,250 and an apology Friday from an Irish magazine that published an abusive article and a faked nude photo of her. Elin Nordegren Woods received the money as part of a settlement of a libel action brought against The Dubliner magazine in November 2006. The former swimsuit model said the money would be donated to cancer-support charities in memory of Heather Clarke, the late wife of British golfer Darren Clarke. Trevor White, publisher of The Dubliner, conceded the article — published in September 2006 when Ireland was hosting the Ryder Cup — 'was cheap, tasteless, and deliberately offensive. It was also completely untrue.' The article angered Woods during the first day of competition, which the United States lost to Europe. The article's headline described the U.S. golfers' wives as 'Ryder Cup filth.'"
