Book Review: Playing lessons
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally, after reading hundreds of books and attending numerous golf schools, I have found instruction on how to manage my golf game and play with the game I have. Dr. Parents "Zen Golf" is a guide to the meditative aspects of golf, in fact he offers step by step instuction to begin meditation and work it into your golf game. Anyone who has ever meditated and played golf sees golf as "meditation in action": What's Tiger Woods advantage over the field of PGA golfers? Mind control he has gained trough years of meditation practice guided by his mother (from Thailand). Dr. Parents shows us how to "be" on the golf course to increase enjoyment and lower scores, but more importantly to play with honor and dignity regardless of the outcome that day.Book Review: Good book on mental aspect of playing golf
Summary: 5 Stars
This book does a good job of giving you techniques on how induce good positive thinking and trust into your swing. Although this is not a book on golf swing technique, it helped me on how I should mentally approach playing golf. I also liked Bob Rotella's "Putting Out of Your Mind" for mental golf techniques. The best book on the market for golf instruction is the following: "The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better" (ISBN 1933023090). The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide helped me to improve my scores greatly. I now can hit about 11 greens in regulation per round on average because of this book--well worth the money.Book Review: Mastering Everything!!!

I received this book as a gift over 2 years ago and I always refer it to everyone!!!!
What a wonderful approach to the "Head Game" of Golf! We all know that Golf is maybe 10% physical and 90% mental! The author explains the fundamentals of pre and post game focus, to enhance your game and self confidence on and off the Golf course.
I have used these same techniques that I learned from reading this book and followed along with the exercises in each chapter, to Golf and many more aspects of my life! What an improvement in my self-confidence!!!! If you are even slightly interested in Golf as a game or even a Golf enthusiast. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
Book Review: Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game
Summary: 5 Stars
Joseph Parent truly succeeds in integrating what he has learned from his Zen teachers and teachings with one's round of golf. His book is a must for all golfers, beginners and experts alike, duffers and long hitters. Points that Parent makes including breathing, putting beyond the cup, and not hitting "anyways shots" will truly improve one's round of golf. It will also impact a reader's attitude toward hitting the ball... from approach to follow-through, from driving to putting. Zen Golf is a great book and the unabridged book on CD is a must for travelers. The book has my highest recommendation.Book Review: Zen Golf - The Best Book on Golf I have read
Summary: 5 Stars
I've played golf for 40 years and have had a 10 hcp for most of that time. This book is the best I've seen. I think most golfers would agree that the game is 80 to 90 percent mental, and this book addresses that 80-90%. It almost totally ignores the physical aspects, which might bother some golfers, but my results have been have been amazing. My scores for the last 2 months have been in the low 70's. I don't even think about the mechanics of the swing anymore. The principles are very easy to understand and implement. I would recommend this book for any level of golfer.
