Get Psyched by Dr. Travis Fox - The Book
Containing beautifully written scenarios and proven techniques, Get Psyched has already received outstanding endorsements from PGA Players Mathias Gronberg, Cliff Kresge, Chris Stroud and Mark Lye to name a few.
“Dr. Fox taught me how to coexist with fear, embrace challenges and seize opportunities that were out of reach before,” says Chris Stroud (PGA Tour 2006-2009). According to PGA Tour Player Mark Lye, “Any player who wants to reach the next level in his game must learn to master the mental side. Travis Fox’s methods will help get you there.”
Dr. Travis Fox Signs An Agreement To Coach LPGA Tour Player Amy Hung
“If there is one area of the game that I haven’t worked on as hard as the others, it is probably the mental aspect. I’m hoping Dr. Fox can help me be a happier, calmer player on the course, without me losing the drive to succeed.”
- Amy Hung
Professional Golfers Endorse Dr. Fox
“I have been playing golf for 42 years. I have taken many lessons, read all the books and studied all the swings.
Dr Fox’s approach to golf is new and refreshing. His method “frees up the mind” and “provides effortless power.” It is so exciting to see improvement in my students and myself without worrying about the mechanics of the golf swing. The ball actually goes in the direction we are looking with no cognitive thought.
My only wish is that I had met Dr. Fox years ago. His method works; I see it in my students and myself every day. Thank you Dr. Fox, you have given me a better way to communicate and enjoy this wonderful game.”
- Jimmy Fonda - PGA Professional
Golf Radio Puts Dr. Fox’s Program To The Test
“After having Dr. Fox on our show, I couldn’t wait to get the program and test it out for an upcoming tournament. I chose to listen to “Perfect Putting.” I had probably played three rounds of golf in the last two months so my total preparation for this tournament consisted of 1 practice round, 2 hours of hitting balls and putting, and listening to the “Perfect Putting” CD a total of 4 times. Not only did I putt extremely well (averaging 27 putts per round), but it translated into other facets of my game.
For the first time in five years I was able to score in double digits under par in a tournament. For 54 holes I was 11-under-par and my final 9-holes of the tournament I shot 30 with 1 eagle and 4 birdies and finished 4th overall in the event.
Believe me when I say, “it worked for me and it will work for you!
- Bob Casper Co-host of Real Golf Radio

"Now That She's Gone" was inspired by Ellen’s relationship to her Norwegian-American mother. The play has been described as a Lily Tomlin/Garrison Keilor/Eve Ensler hybrid, passionate, poignant and funny in turns…a memoir piece with Eleanor Roosevelt, sex, drugs and lutefisk! This story translates to anyone's relationship with their parents as seen through the filter of a feminist activist. Politics aside, the relationship of mother to daughter is explored in a real and grounded way that is a feminist love letter to her mother.
