Book Reviews of Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game
Book Review: Simply eye-opening!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is quite unique in a sense that it doesn't teach much of your swing technique or putting skills. I'm into ZEN a lot nowadays, and I loved this book's concept pretty well. I encountered a Zen monk during my flight on the way back from Japan and ended up talking to him about this book to the Zen monk! He liked the idea, and adding that the ultimate form of "ZEN GOLF" is to think nothing when you do your swing, and it's well said indeed.
Summary of Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game
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."Buddhism Books
