    Hello all, I'm giving serious consideration to this course and was hoping someone might see this who has done it?

    http://www.kilroyscollege.ie/course.php?course_id=37

    I came close to signing up back in January and am very tempted now at half price. I have read all of Rotella's works and while I'm a high handicapper who is slow to improve the influence of the mind on a golfers game fascinates me.

    Thanks in advance, I'd love any feedback on this course ?

    The Stuff Arrived, It Included,

    - A welcome to Kilroys college booklet (looks generic for all their courses)
    - 2 A4 Study booklets
    1)Introducing Golf Psychology and
    2)Psychological factors.
    - Copy of Golf is not a game of perfect (funny enough Ive read the rest of his works but not this yet).

    I was Initially disappointed with the Package but I've had a bad habit of dismissing things and quitting when it comes to study.

    So Ill complete these sections and send back for grading.

    @goodgolfer64 , I don't think there is a qualification unless they produce some (unrecognized) cert of their own & I do
    like Karl Morris's stuff online but I want to eek toward the working of the brain in golf/sport more than getting my handicap down.
    So I'm justifying this as a tester before I would spend Major money on a cert/diploma/degree.

    Hi there just wondering how the course is going. I'm interested myself but there seems to be mixed opinions on it.

    Hi @Yettie, Im afraid I've been at a standstill on the 3rd section due to some work commitments. So still not sure about it...
