Product Description
Vijay Singh, Masters and PGA Champion, says, “ZEN GOLF is the best book there is for connecting golf and the mind together. It’s for everyone, and you’re going to enjoy it. I keep it in my golf bag and take it with me everywhere.” Charles Howell III says, “The techniques in ZEN GOLF for working with negative thoughts are better than any other psychological approach.” In chapters such as “Never Keep More Than a Hundred Thoughts in Your Mind During Your Swing”, “Isn’t Where You Have to Play It From Punishment Enough?” and “How to Enjoy a Bad Round of Golf”, the Dr. Joe Parent, a PGA TOUR Instructor, guides golfers with simple yet powerful techniques to prepare for, execute, and, equally important, respond to the results of any golf shot. The author draws on his teaching experience and sense of humor to offer special methods that have led to amazing improvements in the games of professionals and amateurs alike. By applying classic insights and stories from the Buddhist tradition to the challenges of golf, ZEN GOLF shows you how to make your mind an ally instead of an enemy: how to stay calm, clear the interference that leads to poor shots, and eliminate bad habits and mental mistakes. Clear, concise, and enlightening, this book introduces a unique perspective combining modern psychology, Buddhist wisdom and professional golf instruction. Zen Golf shapes ancient philosophies into new teachings, leading golfers to the effortless focus and unconditional confidence of being in “the zone.”

Great book for anyone interested in the mental aspects of playing golf. (I have been a golf pro for 31 years).
Rating: 5 / 5
not as bad as the title sounds…maybe 4 3/4 stars…trys to get you to focus on what is right and not what will continue to distract you…a guy gave me the book to read that used to throw clubs when he was unhappy…said it changed his whole approach to the game…i havent seen him throw a club in 6 months so i thought I’d try the book too.
I never threw clubs and now I figured out why….same indian shoots all the arrows…why be mad at myself..?
