Synopsis

"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 essay 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 struggling with the mental aspects of the game.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This beautifully written and carefully printed little book is a collection of personal essays which describe the author's fascination with the mental (spritual?) aspects of the game of golf. McLaughlin bookends his offerings with a poem, "Zen Golf," on the back cover and concludes his text with "A Golf Prayer" whose opening line might apply to all of us, all of the time: "Let nothing disturb my inner peace and joy today..." ZEN IN THE ART OF GOLF has a literary and enduring edge to it.

About the Author:

Joseph McLaughlin taught English at Stark State College of Technology in Canton, Ohio. Through his continuing education program (Enjoy Golf!) he introduced more than 200 new golfers to the game while helping players of every age, gender, skill, and experience level.
