About this listen

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.

More than a practice manual for mindfulness. Touches on the past present and future also.

Overall very good, inky 4 stars as I wasn’t looking for any swing tips and some of the pronunciation by the performer grated a little on me (it’s SevE!) but if you get past these (and the content helps with this) it’s a good listen 👍

Consistent and useful message

Great help

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and intend to use a lot of the teaching in it to become a better golfer and person .

Slight gripe is the narrator obviously doesn’t know anything about golf and mispronounces a lot of names of courses and players , in particular Seve & Jim Furyk . Understandable but a bit off putting.

Great for golfers

It could improve your enjoyment of Golf. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I do meditate so it made a lot of sense to me.

excellent book well worth a listen.

Nothing here that hasn't been done much better by others.
Bob Rotella's books are more interesting.
If you ARE determined to get Buddhism involved in your golf, just get the Joseph Parent book. Most of the ideas in this one are badly expressed versions of the ones in that.
Besides the chronic repetition (entire passages, word for word), there are also bits of writing so clumsy that any good intentions are impossible to spot.
At "the very first tee, of the very first hole", I realised I couldn't go on (certainly not to the second or third tee of the very first hole) and immediately deleted.
Overpriced at free...

nothing useful here

never shanked the ball until I listened to this book , it focuses so much on the bad stuff that it's all you can think about when to tee up.

awful book, keeps focusing on the bad stuff
