Zen golf is a great introduction to Zen philosophy, especially for the golfer.  Good mental game book. Zen Golf and Fearless Golf by Gio Valiente (works with Villegas and others) are a must for serious golfers in my opinion.  Rotella seems like a hack to me.  His books seem amateurish.  

 

My Humble,

Jason

Hello Golfers,

I LOVE the Zen series.
They focus on the mental part of the game with a very simple way to teach them.
He used oriental terms like the gurus from India, I love those metaphorical teachings!

A must read!

Have an amazing Golf Weekend!

The books were a BIG change of pace for me and my game. His teachings are a little repetitive, but it hits home if you actually PRACTICE mindful awareness. 

 

It has helped me calm down during every facet (putting, driving, out of trouble), and it has streamlined my emotions during my day-to-day life.

Just finished reading this book. I really enjoyed the analogy of signing your name, and then tracing it again. 

 

Great read for anybody looking to cut down the mental chatter. Just gave it to a friend of mine to read.

Hey guys, here is a quick shot of awesome-ness.

 

Dr. Joe Parent is giving his book away in a contest here (kinda cool that he signs it too):

Hope this helps so you don't have to pay for his new book.

 

Cheers
