Book excerpt: "Fear of any kind is the number-one enemy of all golfers, regardless of ball-striking and shot making capabilities." - Jack Nicklaus Golf is supposed to be fun!

Sometimes I can't even hit the broadside of a barn? I never seem to get any better? Let renowned mental golf coach Rand Marquardt show you how he went from a frustrated, misaligned ten-handicap golfer to a more confident, connected one-handicap golfer in just one summer-and how you can do it too! Don't spend another day being angry, afraid, or frustrated again. Instead, learn to play golf more often in The Zone and how to harness and expand your inner wisdom by going with the flow along THE FAIRWAY OF LIFE.

Download or read book Wide Open Fairways written by Bradley S. Klein and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In golf the playing field is also landscape, where nature and the shaping of it conspire to test athletic prowess. As golf courses move away from the "big business, pristine lawn" approach of recent times, Bradley S. Klein, a leading expert on golf course design and economics, finds much to contemplate, and much to report, in the way these wide-open spaces function as landscapes that inspire us, stimulate our senses, and reveal the special nature of particular places. A meditation on what makes golf courses compelling landscapes, this is also a personal memoir that follows Klein's own unique journey across the golfing terrain, from the Bronx and Long Island suburbia to the American prairie and the Pacific Northwest. Whether discussing Robert Moses and Donald Trump and the making of New York City, or the role of golf in the development of the atomic bomb, or the relevance of Willa Cather to how the game has taken hold in the Nebraska Sandhills, Klein is always looking for the freedom and the meaning of golf's wide-open spaces. And as he searches, he offers a deeply informed and absorbing view of golf courses as cultural markers, linking the game to larger issues of land use, ecology, design, and imagination.

Download or read book Fairways and Dreams written by Michael Arkush and published by Thomas Nelson Inc. This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The game," writes Michael Arkush, "is a rite of passage for the father sharing his expertise with the child he is training for the future--the same child who, almost inevitably, will dethrone him at the first opportunity." All of the 25 professional golfers who relate their tales of golf life with Dad eventually did out-drive, out-chip, and out-putt their old men, but all acknowledge appreciatively the essential roles their fathers played in the journey, and it is to them that they offer homage. Interestingly, the lasting legacies go beyond the essentials on grip and stance: it is the intangibles that fly the course from tee to green here. Jack Nicklaus thanks his father for instilling self-confidence; Arnold Palmer praises his father for teaching him how to lose; Amy Alcott is grateful that her father let her know the only barriers in her way were those of her own making; Calvin Peete extols his father's insistence that he be a leader, not a follower. If Fairways and Dreams fairly overdoses on its own inspiration and sweetness, that's its intention; you'll find testimonials worth respecting, and lessons worth learning and remembering. --Jeff Silverman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Par for the Course: Faith and Fairways" is an invitation to embark on a journey where the serenity of the golf course meets the depth of spiritual reflection. Golf, with its expansive greens, challenging fairways, and quiet moments of introspection, offers more than just a game-it offers a metaphor for life's spiritual journey. Each swing, each hole, and each round mirrors the challenges, triumphs, and lessons we encounter in our walk with God. This book is a bridge between the sport of golf and the spiritual life, drawing out powerful parallels that speak to the heart of our faith. Imagine the calm before the first swing, the anticipation and focus required to send the ball soaring toward the distant flag. In that moment, we find a reflection of our need for focus and intention in our spiritual lives. Golf teaches us about patience, resilience, and humility-qualities that are essential in our relationship with God. Just as a golfer must learn to navigate the sand traps and water hazards on the course, we too must learn to navigate the obstacles that life throws our way, trusting in God's guidance and wisdom to help us find our way to the green. "Par for the Course" explores the spiritual lessons embedded in the game of golf, revealing how each aspect of the game can deepen our faith. The discipline required to perfect a swing, the perseverance needed to improve after a missed shot, and the humility it takes to accept defeat with grace-all these elements mirror the virtues we are called to cultivate as followers of Christ. This book invites you to see the golf course as a place of spiritual growth, where every round played is an opportunity to draw closer to God. As you walk the fairways, with the sun on your back and the wind in your face, you'll find moments of solitude that allow for reflection and prayer. The quietness of the course provides a backdrop for connecting with God, for hearing His voice in the stillness, and for contemplating the path He has set before you. Whether you're teeing off at the first hole or lining up a putt on the eighteenth, the parallels between golf and the spiritual life are clear: both require focus, persistence, and an unwavering faith in the process. "Par for the Course" is not just a book for golf enthusiasts; it's for anyone seeking to deepen their faith through the lessons learned on the course. It's about finding God in the game, seeing His hand in every shot, and allowing the game of golf to become a reflection of your journey with Him. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or someone who has never picked up a club, the insights shared in these pages will resonate with you, offering wisdom, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on your walk with God. In "Par for the Course," you'll discover that every round of golf is more than just a game-it's a spiritual journey, a walk with God across the fairways of life. So grab your clubs, step onto the course, and let the game begin. Your faith journey is waiting to unfold, one swing at a time.
