In chapters such as "During Your Swing Is Not the Time to Give Yourself a Lesson", "Isn't Where You Have to Play It From Punishment Enough?" and "How to Enjoy a Bad Round of Golf," the author guides golfers with simple yet powerful techniques to prepare for, execute, and, equally important, respond to the results of any golf shot. The author, Dr. Joseph Parent, is a PGA Tour Instructor who draws on his teaching experience to offer special methods that have led to amazing improvements in the games of professionals and amateurs alike.

Zen Golf offers a fresh perspective for golf and for life. Rather than focus on what's wrong with us (what's broken, flawed, or missing) we can take the attitude that there is something fundamentally, essentially right with us. Through mindful awareness, distractions and negativity can be recognized and cleared away.

Clear, concise, and enlightening, Zen Golf introduces a unique combination of modern psychology, Buddhist wisdom, and professional golf instruction. By applying classic insights and stories 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. Zen Golf shapes ancient philosophies into new teachings, leading golfers to the effortless focus and unconditional confidence of being in "the zone."

Critics' reviews

" Zen Golf is the best book at connecting the mind and golf together. It's for everyone, and you're really going to like it." (Vijay Singh)

Ein kurzweiliges und lehrreiches Hörbuch.
Ich habe es 2x angehört und merke beim Golfen und auch im Alltag, wie ich Situationen viel entspannter und selbstbewusster durchlebe. Ich werde es wieder anhören, um die zahlreichen Anregungen erneut ins Gedächtnis zu holen.

Nicht nur für Golfer zu empfehlen

I am totally enthused about both the most detailed explanation incl. practice tipps for enforcing my golf as well as inspiration for everyday life in general.
The combination of Zen/buddist teachings/Shambala warriorship with the common sense of J.Parent transfers all necessary wisdom into the zone --and hopefully all readers who listen to this wonderful(l) book.
Clarity for rabbits like me, as well as for tigers is available here.
I also enjoyed the humorous way in which the author reads all stories and teachings.
After listening the other titles of Dr. Parent (The Art of the mental game / Zen Putting),too, I must admit THIS now is my favorite Golf-Audiobook!
