\n A highly original and groundbreaking book from a noted PGA coach and Buddhist instructor \u2022 \u201cThe lessons in Zen Golf make the mental game seem so simple. Dr. Parent has given me very effective methods for working with thoughts and emotions, and for taking the negatives out of the picture.\u201d \u2014Vijay Singh, Masters and PGA Champion
By combining classic insights and stories from Zen tradition, Zen Golf helps eliminate the mental distractions that routinely cause poor shots and loss of concentration, allowing golfers to feel in \u201cthe zone\u201d that professionals have learned to master.
The best players know that golf is a game of confidence, and most important, concentration\u2013the ability to focus and block out distraction. The goal of achieving clear thought is also at the heart of Buddhist teachings. PGA coach and Buddhist instructor Dr. Joseph Parent draws on this natural connection and teaches golfers how to clear their minds, achieve ultimate focus, and play in the moment for each shot.
Zen Golf presents a simple system for building \u201cmental game mastery.\u201d Dr Parent\u2019s unique PAR Approach (focusing on Preparation, Action, and Response to Results) guides golfers with specific techniques for each aspect of their games. In chapters such as \u201cHow to Get From the Practice Tee to the First Tee\u201d, \u201cYou Produce What You Fear\u201d, and \u201cHow to Enjoy a Bad Round of Golf\u201d, the author shares a personal teaching regimen that has helped improve the games of professionals and amateurs alike.
Clear, concise, and enlightening, Zen Golf shows golfers how to prepare for, execute, and equally important, respond the results of any golf shot. A different approach to golf instruction, this book shapes ancient philosophies into new teachings. <\/p>\n
