18 Holes with Bing - Golf Life...

Nathaniel Crosby, John Strege

In this love letter to his father, former professional golfer Nathaniel Crosby shares memories of Bing Crosby on the golf course, and the lessons he taught him about the game and about life. With a Foreword by Jack Nicklaus.
“Bing Crosby was a great ambassador for our game, as well as a great man,” hails longtime friend and golf partner, Jack Nicklaus. The beloved singer and star was also an extraordinary teacher who instilled an abiding passion and mastery of the game in his youngest son, Nathaniel. Winning the US Amateur at nineteen, Nathaniel went on to compete in high-level professional tournaments for his entire life.
In 18 Holes with Bing, Nathaniel introduces us to the Bing Crosby he and his family knew—not the beloved singer who played golf, but a golfer who sang to pay his country club dues. Nathaniel shares exclusive stories about this American icon golfing, working, and playing with some of the most famous people in history—royalty, titans of industry, stars of stage and screen, and champions of the green, including Bob Hope, Dwight Eisenhower, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Louis Armstrong. At the book’s heart is an intimate account of a father and a son—how a mutual love of golf formed an exceptional emotional bond.
Full of anecdotes, vignettes, and recollections of Bing’s time on the course, the tournaments he created and later sponsored, and the constant encouragement he showed his son, 18 Holes with Bing honors this celebrated golfer, entertainer, and father, and illuminates his life as never before.

The Mental Toughness Playbook -...

Emmanuel Drake

Every parent dreams of seeing their young athlete thrive—but what happens when performance pressure starts stealing their love of the game?
When traditional coaching methods failed to address his own child's competition anxiety, Emmanuel Drake knew there had to be a better way. Drawing from cutting-edge sports psychology research, he developed an effective system that transforms how young athletes think, compete, and grow—both on and off the field.
The Mental Toughness Playbook bridges the gap between complex psychological concepts and practical application for developing minds. Through simple yet powerful techniques, including mindfulness, visualization, and strategic self-talk, young athletes learn to conquer pregame nerves, bounce back from setbacks, and build unshakeable resilience that extends far beyond the scoreboard.
This isn't about pushing kids harder—it's about equipping them with the mental tools to embrace challenges, view mistakes as stepping stones, and maintain their passion for sports while reaching their full potential. Each strategy can be implemented in just 5-10 minutes and seamlessly integrates with existing training routines.
Whether your child is just starting out or competing at elite levels, these proven methods will help them develop the resilient mindset and emotional awareness that creates champions in sport and life.
