This is a game-changer. “You may never play golf the same way if you start measuring your mental performance on the golf course.” Gary Player, World Golf Hall of Fame “With the introduction of the GYRA Mental Scorecard, you are now able to track your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to be able to better yourself for future situations.” Jason Gore, Player Relations, USGA “GYRA tools have given me the skills to manage my emotions and thoughts throughout the up’s and down’s of tournament golf.” Seamus Power, Olympian, PGA Tour Player “I have been coaching college golf for 20 years. The difference between a good vs great player is usually their mental approach to the game. The idea of having a scorecard for golfers to describe and track what is happening in their mind is groundbreaking.” Tim Straub, Davidson College “This book should be required curriculum for golf academies, teaching professionals, caddies, and players.” David Ross PGA Lifetime Member, Ross Academy

Download or read book Zen Golf written by Joseph Parent and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2002-06-18 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly original and groundbreaking book from a noted PGA coach and Buddhist instructor • “The lessons in Zen Golf make the mental game seem so simple. Dr. Parent has given me very effective methods for working with thoughts and emotions, and for taking the negatives out of the picture.” —Vijay Singh, Masters and PGA Champion By combining classic insights and stories from Zen tradition, Zen Golf helps eliminate the mental distractions that routinely cause poor shots and loss of concentration, allowing golfers to feel in “the zone” that professionals have learned to master. The best players know that golf is a game of confidence, and most important, concentration–the ability to focus and block out distraction. The goal of achieving clear thought is also at the heart of Buddhist teachings. PGA coach and Buddhist instructor Dr. Joseph Parent draws on this natural connection and teaches golfers how to clear their minds, achieve ultimate focus, and play in the moment for each shot. Zen Golf presents a simple system for building “mental game mastery.” Dr Parent’s unique PAR Approach (focusing on Preparation, Action, and Response to Results) guides golfers with specific techniques for each aspect of their games. In chapters such as “How to Get From the Practice Tee to the First Tee”, “You Produce What You Fear”, and “How to Enjoy a Bad Round of Golf”, the author shares a personal teaching regimen that has helped improve the games of professionals and amateurs alike. Clear, concise, and enlightening, Zen Golf shows golfers how to prepare for, execute, and equally important, respond the results of any golf shot. A different approach to golf instruction, this book shapes ancient philosophies into new teachings.

Download or read book Radical Golf written by Michael Laughlin and published by Crown. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next time you play golf leave your woods at home, putt with your 2-iron, and you will be on your way to shooting in the 70s. Sounds radical? Well, you're right on par! Golf enthusiast Michael Laughlin, whose day job is in the film business, reveals his proven, but completely radical strategies that average golfers can use to dramatically lower their score. In Radical Golf, Laughlin rethinks how the game of golf is traditionally played and shares his surprising and innovative ideas on how to play better golf. Unlike the usual technique-riddled golf books, Radical Golf offers practical and easy-to-use tips, and is written for the legion of average players who will never have the long, crunching power game of the professional. "Golf is not a linear game," insists Laughlin, and "Scoring is definitely not related to advancing the ball as far as possible on each shot." In this fun and accessible book, the radical golfer contends, for example, that players should approach the pin much like basketball players maneuver to shoot a basket by striving to shoot from their best, or "sweet" spot on the court. Laughlin also suggests that golf should be played as two separate games (of tee-to-green and putts) and that golfers should keep a separate scorecard for their putting game. Equally radical, Radical Golf calls for using a 2-iron for putts rather than the "dreaded" putter (the loft of the 2-iron matches the putter, "Calamity Jane," of legendary golfer Bobby Jones). Hole by hole, sensible shot after sensible shot, Radical Golf simulates a round of golf with a pro to show how a radical golfer can stay within strokes of par play. Written in a witty and easy-to-understand style, with entertaining sidebars and line drawings, Radical Golf will revolutionize how golf is played both on and off the course. Most of all, Radical Golf will increase the enjoyment of playing this great and challenging game. Radical Golf is just the book that could become the bible of the weekend golfer.

Download or read book Understanding Golf written by Philip Moore and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review I've known and worked with Philip Moore for almost 20 years. His latest book, Understanding Golf, is a great read. There are no gimmicks here, just an honest, straight forward discussion about golf and how it is best played. Over the years, I've watched experienced golfers improve dramatically through working with Phil and applying the exact ideas he has clearly outlined in this book. As Phil says, "When you improve your approach to shotmaking, your scores will drop." Regardless of your level of play, if you would like to grow your understanding of the game and lower your average score, this book is worth every penny. Jason Taylor Honorary President of the Southern California PGA CEO of the Lorena Ochoa Golf Foundation Description If you've been struggling for a long time to lower your average score, you're either playing to your maximum physical ability or you don't fully understand the process of improvement. It's the latter. While most golfers believe they have a fairly good understanding of how the game is best played, they actually don't. And it's that lack of understanding, more than anything else, that inhibits their ability to improve. Today's golfer tends to believe that lower scores are achieved through purchasing better equipment, developing a better golf swing, and hitting the ball farther. But golf is not about high-tech equipment, ideal technique, or maximizing clubhead speed. Playing golf is about shot selection and shot creation. When playing golf, you're challenged to select and create the appropriate shot from varying circumstances. The quickest and easiest way to lower your average score is through developing your playing skills: shot selection, club selection, intention, setup position, and swing focus. Developing those skills stems directly from expanding your understanding of the game itself. Raising your potential as a golfer, through expanding your understanding of the game is what this book is about. As you gradually develop your playing skills, you'll notice your scores steadily improve, seemingly without any effort at all. Understanding Golf is truly a roadmap to lower scores. About the Author Philip Moore is a golf writer, teacher and clubmaker. He currently owns and operates Academy Clubmaking, located at Goose Creek Golf Course in Jurupa Valley, California. He is a member of both the Association of Golf Clubfitting Professionals and the International Clubmakers Guild. In addition to writing Understanding Golf, he also wrote The Mad Science of Golf, published in 2007.

Download or read book Simple Steps to Better Golf Book One written by Ian Hardie and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back when I first started writing my ideas about the game of golf on my website golfhabits.com a few years ago, I wasn't exactly sure of what golfers around the world would find most useful. So, I covered all sorts of different areas as they related to golf. I knew what I found to be most useful personally and what had worked effectively while teaching golf over most of the past 30 years but was I able to convey any of that in writing? Over time, as the amount of articles on the website grew - I started to get feedback and comments from golfers around the world about how useful they were finding my tips and advice. Success! These golfers who I had never met and were mostly playing golf on the opposite side of the world were all telling me that by understanding my simple ideas and more importantly, by applying the simple steps I'd suggested to their games - that their golf had improved easily and effortlessly. It's a humbling thought that I am able to help people to enjoy the game they love simply by putting my ideas into writing but at the end of the day - it's exactly the point of what I am trying to do by sharing this knowledge that I have gained over the years. This book 'Simple steps to better golf - Book One' is the first in a series that covers the most effective information - according to the feedback I have received from the readers of golfhabits.com It's like a quick start guide to help you break through some of the contradictory information out there and focus on some simple steps to allow you to play better golf. I wish I had been able to read something like this when I was younger! In fact, a simple explanation of how things actually work and an understanding of why things happen like they do on the golf course - is basically what most golfers are missing. That lack of good information is the main reason that a lot of golfers (who actually possess the skills that enable them to hit good shots) can only hit them sometimes. By the time you have finished reading this book - some of that is going to change for you!
