What keeps you-a golf nerd-stuck isn't that you aren't athletic, your dad yelled at you, or you can't turn your hips properly; it's your self-sabotaging patterns of thinking and behaving.

In Getting Unstuck: Seven Transformational Practices for Golf Nerds, coach and writer Tim O'Connor expertly guides you through previously unexplored territory, providing wisdom, and practices that will transform your golf and-possibly-your life.

The author of The Moe Norman Story: The Feeling of Greatness provides you with techniques used by elite performers to quiet their minds, break free of limiting beliefs, commit to genuine improvement, and self-coach themselves out of funks, slumps and underperformance.

As a fellow golf nerd, O'Connor connects with your cravings and compulsions with stories drawn from his career as award-winning golf writer, golf and men's life coach, and bass player in a punk band. He is author of The Moe Norman Story: The Feeling of Greatness and is enshrined in the Ontario Golf Hall of Fame as a writer.

Fred Shoemaker, founder of Extraordinary Golf, said: ""Tim O'Connor's new book provides the possibility of transformation that can reshape your entire golfing experience. Through his own authenticity, Tim shows that when you get through your blocks and blind spots, what emerges is an independent, resourceful, confident golfer.""

Reviews for Getting Unstuck: Seven Transformational Practices for Golf Nerds

""Most books about a sport give out information. They increase the sum of what we know. Tim O'Connor's new book provides the possibility of transformation; a shift in what we believe and how we view our world. Getting Unstuck offers wisdom that can reshape your entire golfing experience. Through his own authenticity, Tim shows that when you get through your blocks and blind spots, what emerges is an independent, resourceful, confident golfer. I see the book as a heartfelt intervention in what is almost a certain future for those of us who play the game."" Fred Shoemaker, Founder of Extraordinary Golf ""I firmly believe we are on the edge of a tipping point with golf. In a world of influencers and quick-fix promises, golfers are craving a deeper relationship to the game. In Getting Unstuck, Tim O'Connor provides you with a wonderfully rich and personal path to self-mastery. What you are about to read in these pages is an authentic journey of discovery which can help you peel back the layers and reveal what you are truly capable of. The wisdom contained in his book can be profoundly beneficial to your relationship with golf and to your life. Explore what is possible and allow Tim to be your guide. You are in very safe hands."" Karl Morris, Performance Coach, Founder of The Mind Factor ""Tim O'Connor's Getting Unstuck is for curious golfers who are ready to find a new perspective about this beautiful game. Sharing from his heart, Tim presents wisdom, humour and insights that will resonate with all golfers. The practices presented here have allowed me to play with strong inner peace. Even his footnotes are amazing!"" Susie Meyers, PGA of America, Author of Golf from Point A ""If there's a golfer anywhere who hasn't been 'stuck, ' I'd like to meet that person. Tim O'Connor has been there himself and has developed practical strategies to find freedom and clarity. Reading his book Getting Unstuck and applying its ideas will help you play better-really 'play'-and enjoy the game more."" Lorne Rubenstein, Author, Ontario and Canadian Golf Halls of Fame Member ""I'm a golf nerd. I have a bumper sticker that says: 'Life is easy-golf is hard.' Until I picked up Tim O'Connor's book, I was unconscious of what caused my golf-related suffering. Getting Unstuck has helped me break free of that old way of being. Discovering a pathway to freedom in golf has helped me recover joy not only in golf, but in my life as well."" George Daranyi, Former Chairman of The ManKind Project International
