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."

What Customers Say About Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game:

Most golf rounds I play I shoot between 86 and 90, with an occasional mid to high 90's round and a few rounds below 85. I bought the audio book before an annual golf tournament as something to get me mentally ready for four days of competitive golf with friends. What is important to consider is that my lowest score EVER is 84 and I shot that score and and 85 on courses I'd never played before (). The short of it is: this system works. I am a 16 handicap and shot 84, 95, 89 and 85 to win the tournament (all of the golfers are 16-20 handicappers and we play a regular stroke play tournament). What this book specifically helped me to do is the following: 1) focus on your target and close out everything else; 2) stay in the present through effective breathing; 3) practice effectively; 4) eliminate "anyway shots"; and 5) to fall in love with the process of golf and the challenge of the day. If you read this book and apply these principles, I have no doubt you will be successful as well.
I highly recommend it. Gave specific ideas and tips on how to improve your mental golf game. Change your golf game now by reading this wonderful book. This book improved my golf game immediately. I have read plenty of golf books and this one has been one the best. Easy to read and understand. Great book.
Haven't seen results since I haven't played due to snow but MAN am I ready to try what I have learned.This has also gotten me more interested in buddhism as well. I can't wait to check out more books on zen.Lots of stuff in this book will make you go, oh my gosh, why havent I ever thought of that. Treat yourself as you would others.genius.Stay in the present.genius.
Brilliant. Well written and easily understood this book gives you the tools that will change your life [even on the golf course].
I was very surprised reading this book. I never thought the mental aspect of golf could have that much impact on my game. The explainations and comparisons make sense and a light goes on as soon as you read them. I can't wait to put the PAR approach into play next spring.
