The DK Pocket Guide to Golf by Peter Ballingall
The thirty-five chapters in this book describe various judgmental heuristics and the biases they produce, not only in laboratory experiments but in important social, medical, and political situations as well. Individual chapters discuss the representativeness and availability heuristics, problems in judging covariation and control, overconfidence, multistage inference, social perception, medical diagnosis, risk perception, and methods for correcting and improving judgments under uncertainty. About half of the chapters are edited versions of classic articles; the remaining chapters are newly written for this book. Most review multiple studies or entire subareas of research and application rather than describing single experimental studies. This book will be useful to a wide range of students and researchers, as well as to decision makers seeking to gain insight into their judgments and to improve them.
Peter Ballingall has been teaching golf for decades and is the founder of Peter Ballingall Golf Schools, an international franchise. It distills his extensive experience into a distinct set of accessible lessons, so you can spend less time reading and more time working on your game. The book itself is small and portable, so you can easily take it with you onto the course and refer to it whenever you need to.
