On the other hand, if your game isn't played on a board at all, you may take more interest in "sports psychologist" Wayne Glad. The good doctor is scheduled to discuss and sign his tome Focus on Golf--co-authored by PGA veteran Chip Beck--which offers suggestions on how to improve one's game through a process of mental preparation, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 10, at the Barnes & Noble store at 4847 East Ray Road in Ahwatukee. Admission is free. 940-7136.
