Excellent! December 14, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
You don't have to be Buddhist to appreciate the lessons in this book. Seriously, I have read this book three times before three different golf seasons, and it has always made me focus on the important aspects of golf. It teaches some really great ways to calm and relax yourself as well as some tips on how to play smarter golf.
Buy it- you will be happy about it.
Good book on mental aspect of playing golf November 10, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book does a good job of giving you techniques on how induce good positive thinking and trust into your swing. Although this is not a book on golf swing technique, it helped me on how I should mentally approach playing golf. I also liked Bob Rotella's "Putting Out of Your Mind" for mental golf techniques. The best book on the market for golf instruction is the following: "The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better" (ISBN 1933023090). The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide helped me to improve my scores greatly. I now can hit about 11 greens in regulation per round on average because of this book--well worth the money.
Once Is NOT enough! March 30, 2004
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I read Zen Golf and immediately thought that this was THE best book on how to improve your golf game and how you enjoy it. The book is NOT how to create the perfect golf swing. It is all about the mental side of the game and how you can improve your results by improving the way you think. Shortly after reading the book, I realized that reading it only once and expecting to achieve the intended results was simply not enough. The book must be read multiple times, use a hi-liter to mark the passages you want to improve on. There are so many wonderful mental suggestions that it is almost impossible to pick them all up the first time you read the book. I thought so much of the book, I purchased the book on CDs. I have read the book three times and listened to the CD's twice and will continue to read and listen until I have a clear picture of exactly what I want to accomplish. Since I only play on weekends, the time between rounds/practice tends to dull the lessons learned if you read it only once. Once is simply not enough! I know of no other book on golf I would recommend more. The principles also apply to life in general and sales specifically. The similarities between golf and sales are incredible!

Lowered my scores December 12, 2003

Okay, I'm not ready to turn pro now, but I had never once shot below 90 prior to reading this. Then, one night I was bored and picked it up (quick read -- couple hours or so) and decided to zen out next time on the course. I followed just a few simple ideas from the book and shot an 84. It was the first time in a while that golf was fun again and not so dang frustrating. Loved it.
