Zen Golf

Mastering the Mental Game

De: Dr. Joseph Parent

Narrado por: Dr. Joseph Parent

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."

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

Great book

Instantly helped my game. My playing partner in a match play event even commented about how loose and relaxed I looked during the round. Also shot my best round this year. Highly recommend.

Exactly what I needed

The best solution to saving yourself wasted time and strokes on and off the course

Good for those with anxiety

This book is one I fully intend to read at least once a year. It applies to golf as well as life. I struggle a lot with social anxiety and I applied concepts from this book that are legit helping. This book gets deep and can help a lot of confidence and overall mental outlook. highly recommend

A great listen for golf mindset

I read this book a long time ago and still have it, but it’s helpful to listen to it periodically to keep my mental outlook and focus sharp. And might even help enjoy the game more.

Must for golfers

This is a remarkable book that is equally of great help on the mental game of golf and life in general. It has helped me tremendously with Match play and benefitted my game overall.

Simple easily implemented tools that work from initial implementation

This information is so useful both on and off the course. I imagine that with diligence and practice these methods will lead to continued improvement in many aspects and will ultimately lead to enjoyable golf every time, regardless of the score.

Fantastic book, bad audio

The content was great, all about being calm, focused & in the moment when playing golf. Unfortunately the audio sounds like an AM radio broadcast.

this can really help your game

This book does a great job of introducing principles of zen that are applicable not only to golf, but to your day to day life. Relative to your golf game, you learn some great techniques to help manage your swing, stroke and game. Moreover, for those listeners in the East, this is a great listen while the snow is still covering the fairways.
