Award-Winning Golf Author Dave Johnston Announces New Books Exploring the Mental Game of Golf

RICHMOND HILL, Ontario - Aug. 13, 2026 - PRLog -- DAVE JOHNSTON GOLF ACADEMY ANNOUNCES NEW BOOKS FOCUSED ON THE MENTAL GAME OF GOLF

Dave Johnston, award-winning golf author and longtime golf instructor, is expanding his body of work with a new collection of books designed to help golfers look beyond swing mechanics and understand the mental side of the game.

For more than 33 years, Johnston has taught golf and has given more than 12,000 lessons. With a background in psychology and decades of experience working with golfers of different abilities, his approach focuses on helping players recognize the mental habits, beliefs and thought patterns that can influence how they perform on the course.

Johnston's books challenge the traditional idea that better golf is simply about fixing a swing.

Instead, his work explores confidence, consistency, beliefs, unconscious habits, overthinking and the mental barriers that can prevent golfers from performing at their natural ability.

His published work includes Just Hit The Damn Ball!, Golfing Out of Your Mind, Stop Beating Yourself Up!, Free Your Golfing Gorilla!, and The Golf Obsession. His books have also received recognition through the Readers' Favorite International Book Awards.

"Golfers spend so much time trying to fix what they believe is wrong with their swing," says Dave Johnston. "But sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't the swing at all. It's what happens in your mind before, during and after the shot."

Johnston's books are written for everyday golfers who want to understand their game without becoming overwhelmed by complicated technical instruction. His approach encourages golfers to pay greater attention to what they already do well, develop more useful habits and learn to trust their natural ability.

The new releases continue Johnston's focus on the mental game of golf and his goal of helping golfers enjoy the game while developing greater confidence and consistency.
