( "What is Zen?" I am frequently asked as I talk to group...)
"What is Zen?" I am frequently asked as I talk to groups of golfers about the spiritual and psychological aspects of the game. I want to reply that "Zen is nothing, yet everything." In this simply arranged little book, you'll discover a collection of personal essays ranging from "Bogey Golf" to "Swing the Clubhead" each describes how the concentration techniques taught in martial arts can be applied to golf. Simple take-aways will help you enjoy the game of golf again! An extensive bibliography of additional readings makes this little book helpful for those stuggling with the mental aspects of the game.
