Publisher's summary

My teacher, Ösel Tendzin, had a favorite response when his meditation students would ask how to control their thoughts and emotions. He’d say, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. One person will struggle with the waves and be battered about. Another person will learn to ride them. Same waves, very different experiences.” We experience waves of emotions through the course of a tournament, a round of golf, or even a single golf hole. If we can ride the ups and downs with poise, humor, and humility, it makes the game more enjoyable for ourselves and our playing companions. To do so depends on perspective.
