A note from the author. All golfers, from PGA and LPGA tour professionals to beginners, have experienced frustration on the golf course and the driving range. I am no exception. I started playing golf when I was in college and steadily improved over the years. My handicap got down to the single digits, but then I plateaued. I knew I could play better. I started messing with my swing and my golf game went south. I got so frustrated, I quit. After a long break, I started hitting golf balls again. Something was different this time around. What was different? What was I doing? NOTHING. No swing thoughts, no distractions, no second guessing, no effort. I got out of my own way. This was the beginning of my explorations into the power of the mental game. With my education and research in psychology and my passion and commitment to the game of golf, I started my golf academy that exclusively offers mental game instruction, education and techniques to help golfers play their best.

Deepak Chopra has discovered the delights—and frustrations—of golf, and he is passionate about the game. Confronted by the wild ups and downs of his own play, he consulted with golf professionals and developed a new approach to the game that any golfer can follow—from the novice to the expert. The results can be measured not only in increased enjoyment and skill, but also in greater wisdom about life beyond the 18th hole. Chopra’s own game has improved dramatically since incorporating the elements of his program. Instead of focusing on the mechanics of a “perfect” swing, Chopra reveals how golf can be mastered through mindfulness, a form of awareness that combines sharp focus and relaxation at the same time. Expanded awareness, he tells us, can accomplish much more than external mechanics to improve one’s game. But Golf for Enlightenment is also an engrossing story about Adam, an Everyman who is playing a terrible round of golf when he meets a mysterious young teaching pro named Leela. In seven short but profound lessons detailing spiritual strategies, she teaches Adam the essence of a game that has much to explain about life itself. Chopra has spent the last year taking the unique message in Golf for Enlightenment nationwide, teaching the essential tenets of his program at lectures and seminars to golfers everywhere. His message continues to help players turn an obsession into a positive life path.

This modern classic of golf instruction by renowned teacher Manuel de la Torre (the 1986 PGA Teacher of the Year and the #11 teacher in America as ranked by the editors of Golf Digest in 2007) presents a simpler approach to the golf swing based on Ernest Jones’s principles. Understanding the Golf Swing includes information on the philosophy of the golf swing (with emphasis on the development of a true swinging motion), the most thorough analysis of ball flights available, and analysis of the principles of special shot play (including sand play, pitching, chipping, putting, and playing unusual shots) and the mental side of golf and effective course management. The final chapter offers an organized approach to understanding golf courses and playing conditions. The result is a blend of philosophy and practical advice found in few golf instructional books.

The Seven Personalities of Golf The Intimidator (Tiger Woods) The Swashbuckler (Arnold Palmer) The Methodologist (Nick Faldo) The Gamesman (Lee Trevino) The Steady Eddy (Tom Watson) The Laid Back (Fred Couples) The Artist (Seve Ballesteros) Is your personality affecting your game? Do you approach every shot with a go-for-broke attitude, even when the moment might reward a more deliberate, methodical strategy? Or do you carefully calculate every swing, even when a bit of reckless abandon might give you a better chance of getting out of a jam? Every golfer, whether amateur or pro, has a dominant personality: a set of traits that sometimes helps you win--but sometimes lands you in the rough. By carefully observing professional golfers' behavior and analyzing his own students' successes and failures, leading golf instructor Darrin Gee has identified seven basic personality types and the on-the-course strengths and weaknesses each confers. Are you naturally an "Intimidator" (like Tiger Woods)? A "Methodologist" (like Nick Faldo)? A "Gamesman" (like Lee Trevino)? Gee illustrates the basic characteristics of each type with accounts of great players' performances--brilliant and disastrous. Next, he provides a quick questionnaire to help you determine whether you fit that particular bill. Then, Gee shows you how to use your personality to your advantage while outlining situations where you'd be wise to take a tip from another personality's playbook. The latest of Gee's insightful guides, Seven Personalities offers essential advice for any golfer wanting to improve his or her mental game.
