By far one of the best books on the mental side of sports that I have ever read, and I have never even swung a club!


5 out of 5 stars Outa my own way!   August 14, 2007

Dear Dr Joe:

Just got back from San Diego where I was able to play golf four days with my
grown sons, nephews, and some other folks I picked up games with randomly.
Included a round at Torrey Pines South.

Have reread both Zen Golf and Zen Putting following our time together in Sun
Valley. Can't thank you enough for your coaching of the mental game. I've
never enjoyed PLAYING golf so much in my life. Followed up your clinic with
a day spent with Lama Tenzin Dondhen who was in Sun Valley. He gave a guided
meditation morning with a progression of mantras moving into silent
meditation, then a talk in the afternoon. All tied together beautifully.

Thanks so much for your service and passing along the wisdom that can't be
found because it's already there!



4 out of 5 stars Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game   August 6, 2007
Audiobook review - very helpful combination of advice on handling the mental aspect of the game along with exercises to practice control. Read/listened in conjunction with Extraordinary Putting which also discusses the mental part of the game - I recommend both.


5 out of 5 stars shot my best golf after reading this book   July 10, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was constantly looking for that next "tip" for my swing mechanics that would help me play a better game of golf, but all each tip did was give me one more thing to spin around in my head as I approached the ball, and by the time I got around to swinging the club, I was losing focus.

I was inconsistent, frustrated and was thinking of giving the game up, since I wasn't having any fun. Then my cousin recommended this book for me. I read it in a week's time. My first round of golf after that, I shot an "OK" score, but I enjoyed my time out on the course so much more than before.

Two days later, I shot the best round of my life.

This book really has changed the way I approach the game, each hole, and each shot. I enjoy myself so much more, am more relaxed, and most importantly - I am having more fun playing the game.

Dr. Parent's visualization techniques are very helpful. And he doesn't just tell you how you should approach golf, he shows you. Well worth every penny!!!
