Product Description
Clear, concise, and enlightening, this book introduces a unique perspective combing modern psychology, Buddhist wisdom, and professional golf instruction in order to master the mental game. Dr. Parent guides golfers with simple yet powerful techniques to prepare for, execute and respond to the results of any golf shot. By applying classic insights and stories from the Buddhist tradition to the challenges of golf, Zen Golf shows how to make one's 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 December 1, 2008
Brilliant! Well written and easily understood this book gives you the tools that will change your life [even on the golf course].
 Puts a whole new light on your golf game November 25, 2008
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.

Really enjoyed this book. Great way of looking at the game. Seemed more helpful than other "sports psychology" books.
I am enjoying golf again June 3, 2008
After being frustrated with myself on the golf course during the past few months I was beginning to wonder if I might stop playing.I have a handicap of 19 and was really struggling to play to it.Once I had a bad hole I would get down on myself and the whole thing would snowball.
After reading Zen Golf and putting into practice some of the techniques I have played two lots of 9 hole stableford competitions and had 23+25 points.
I have played 2 rounds of 18 holes in competition.The first round of our club championship at 85-19-66 (par is 69).In our annual men's tournament 83-19-64.During these rounds I have only had one 7 and nothing higher.
Most importantly I have actually been enjoying myself.
I am certain this booked has really helped me and I will continue to use the techniques that I have learnt.I will probably read this book over and over when I need to as there are several more things I want to try.
Improve my game!! January 3, 2008
I am a beginner golfer and this book is helpful for the mental part of golf! I would suggest it to anyone that plays golf. I gave to a friend that throws clubs in frustration and she played a round for the first time with no broken clubs and was relaxed, she says the book is helping her too
