Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game

Mindfulness meets technique for golf's mental game.

If the mental hurdles of golf frustrate you as much as a sand trap, "Zen Golf" might just change your game—and perhaps even your outlook on life. Dr. Parent's fusion of Zen principles and golf coaching provides a refreshing angle, helping you to find balance and focus on and off the course. This isn't just about lowering your handicap; it's about raising your inner game.
