THE IRRATIONAL GOLFER by franck BOMETON

Why can a golfer who is capable of hitting a difficult shot make, just a few minutes later, a mistake they knew perfectly well how to avoid? The Irrational Golfer explores what really happens between two shots: cognitive biases, emotions, overconfidence, fear of failure, impulsive decisions, and illusions of control. Through 18 holes and a 19th hole, Franck Bometon turns the golf course into a true laboratory of human decision-making. Each chapter combines real-life situations, cognitive psychology, rules of discernment, and practical exercises to better understand the mechanisms that influence our choices. This book does not promise the perfect swing. It offers something else: learning to make better decisions when the pressure rises, accepting uncertainty, and playing with greater clarity and discernment. A book for golfers of all levels, as well as anyone interested in the psychology of decision-making, performance, and self-mastery.
