De: Stephen Altschuler

Narrado por: Robin Bloodworth

Golf is a Zen sport. If you leave the present moment, you will likely feel the immediate karmic consequences like a hammer hitting your thumb.

In The Mindful Golfer: How to Lower Your Handicap While Raising Your Consciousness, Stephen Altschuler helps you nail it all right - hard and true and into another level of surrender, satisfaction, and, self-awareness. He uses the tools of Zen to raise the game several notches on the ladder of consciousness. The book discusses the state of the game, some of its more illustrious players, its glories, and its challenges. The author covers some of his own struggles with golf, and some moments of achievement, if only fleeting. His book is a reflective look at golf today, emphasizing the mental and spiritual elements of the game.

Very enlightening.

The author provides a terrific perspective on how to embrace this great game as well as life itself, along with some great golfing tips!

Okay, a bit dated

The examples and tips in the book are helpful. The concept of mindfulness is good but tying it into Buddhism may turn some readers off.

Love mixing Buddhist Philosophy with Golf

I love how this book interweaves Buddhist philosophy with Golf. Mental attitude is so important in golf, and what better way to get your thoughts under control than with the centuries old wisdom of Buddhas insights. Non attachment to your results is actually a great way to handle golf - the good the bad and the ugly. If you can take this book's recommendations to heart, I believe it will make you a better golfer - and have a better disposition in life as well. Really enjoyed it.

Advice and Insights that go beyond the game of golf

Perhaps it was the timing of when I read/listened to this, or maybe it would have had the same impact. Either way, because of travel I have not been playing much golf and yearning to get back out there. Most of what I’ve been thinking about has been scoring, my swing, and lowering my index. This book made me reconnect with how much I love the game and how blessed I am to be able to play it.

Great Mental Game book

Despite narration mispronunciation of many names, a very good golf book for players over 40 who will appreciate the perspectives.
