Download or read book Holographic Golf written by Larry Miller and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PGA player and golf teacher shows how to improve your game dramatically with visualization and the “holographic” interaction of mind and body. Inspired by Michael Murphy’s classic Golf in the Kingdom and the remarkable new reality theory explained by Michael Talbot in The Holographic Universe, Holographic Golf shows readers how to use both mind and body to improve their games dramatically. As any experienced and frustrated golfer will tell you, real improvement is a rarity—eighty percent of all amateurs can’t break 100. This sorry statistic reflects a faulty system of instruction, and Larry Miller knows why. From day one, students are traditionally taught to piece together their swing from countless fragments. In contrast, Miller believes there are only three “static positions” vital to the swing: the “address,” “at the top,” and the “finish.” What goes on in between is unimportant, he says, because if you land at each point correctly, you will have done everything right along the way. He also considers what others don’t: the Holographic Principle of Interconnectedness, by which one can conceptually fuse the golf swing with the ball, the terrain, and the atmospheric conditions for maximum performance. In Holographic Golf, Miller also offers positive reinforcement and visualization techniques for improving balance and accuracy. He presents unique and creative exercises, like practicing with mirrors; using your own shadow and the sounds of the course to help “flow” your swing; and “ball flinging,” where the golfer imagines the ball is a magnet. By blending the physical with the mental, Miller has created a uniquely holistic approach that is certain to appeal to all players who seek an effective alternative method for a better—and more pleasurable—golf game. Praise for Holographic Golf “Finally, a unique and effective new method of golf instruction.” —Lee Eisenberg, Time Magazine

Download or read book Golf written by Bob Glanville and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain once described golf as "a good walk spoiled." Most golfers have had a round (or two) where these words rang especially true. That is because golf is a game where failure is unavoidable. Every shot, every lie, is a unique event involving a multitude of intricate variables, any of which can cause a shot to go awry. But fear not-help is here! Former profession golfer Bob Glanville shares the knowledge he has gained from more than half a century of playing and teaching golf. In Golf: The Game of Lessening Failures, he teaches golfers to eliminate their golfing failures, one swing at a time. He dispenses his wit and wisdom through sixteen chapters that touch upon nearly every aspect of the game, including the equipment, the terminology, the etiquette, and the origins of the PGA. Through it all, readers learn to improve their game physically and mentally, as well as by using a set of clubs that will help them get the most out of every swing. The course awaits.

Download or read book Golf s Holy War written by Brett Cyrgalis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of golf is at a crossroads. As technological innovations displace traditional philosophies, the golfing community has splintered into two deeply combative factions: the old-school teachers and players who believe in feel, artistry, and imagination, and the technical minded who want to remake the game around data. In Golf's Holy War, Brett Cyrgalis takes readers inside the heated battle playing out from weekend hackers to PGA Tour pros. At the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, golfers clad in full-body sensors target weaknesses in their biomechanics, while others take part in mental exercises designed to test their brain's psychological resilience. Meanwhile, coaches like Michael Hebron purge golfers of all technical information, tapping into the power of intuitive physical learning by playing rudimentary games. From historic St. Andrews to manicured Augusta, experimental communes in California to corporatized conferences in Orlando, William James to Ben Hogan to theoretical physics, the factions of the spiritual and technical push to redefine the boundaries of the game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections on the game by the Sports lllustrated writer and national-bestselling author of The Swinger. Michael Bamberger has lived the game of golf as few others have—from his experience as one of the first white, college-educated caddies in 1985, to hanging out with Arnold Palmer at the Masters. This Golfing Life brings together Bamberger’s acclaimed, intimate profiles of stars (Tiger, Jack, and Annika to name a few), as well as the behind-the-scenes people who make the game what it is. In his last round of golf before an amputation, Bamberger’s high school golf coach, John Sifaneck, makes his first hole in one; John Stark gets Bamberger to relearn the game as a Scotsman; Bob Rubin, a Wall Street master-of-the-universe, builds his own golf course—one so difficult he can’t break one hundred on it; Bruce Edwards continues to caddie for Tom Watson while dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Bamberger interweaves these stories with his own life in a way that will remind golfers why they love the game.

It has been applauded as the model for achievement in everything from athletics to child rearing, and it relates to every aspect of our lives, from the food we eat to the art and music we surround ourselves with. "Being 'in the zone' has been popularized greatly by the sports media, and, as so often happens with buzz-words and catch-phrases, it has taken on an aura much greater and more mysterious than its true nature . . . In reality, the zone is nothing more than peak efficiency, of which we are all capable." From Exploring the Zone, section 1, "The Ranks of the Efficient" This book explores all the aspects of accessing a level of consciousness where the zone can be accessed and prolonged through ten "pathways to the zone," and through understanding what the zone itself is. Celestine Prophecy author James Redfield's contributions expand the spiritual aspects of the zone. The concluding twelve chapters present principles on the unity of heaven, earth, and human, and the essential unities within each realm.

Thompson, Wayne Dyer and Jesus debating the meaning of life while bungee jumping blindfolded out of an Apache helicopter backwards and eating sushi together. The reader will be shocked, crying and then laughing uncontrollably over his strange and wonderful life full of hardship, supernatural experiences and spiritual epiphanies.
