Pressure: in tournament settings where players are under pressure to succeed, staying calm can make the difference between winning or losing. Adaptability: Golf courses vary considerably in design, geography, and circumstances, and you must acclimate rapidly to new locations and courses. And much more… If you use the affirmations in this workbook regularly, you should soon notice that your concentration, focus, and course skills are improving.

Book Description
Most of us golfers believe that we are capable of playing at a higher level. We know we can be better. We notice that we seem to be stuck in repeatable patterns of mistakes. Many of us are on an endless search for changes in technique and technology, searching for the missing key ingredients to success. Technique and technology are essential, but we usually find out that they aren't the secret ingredient to success. If we're paying close attention to how we practice and compete, we notice that we sabotage and limit ourselves. We may also discover that we unconsciously sabotage ourselves because we find ourselves doing things that we know are counterproductive, but can't seem to get out of our own way. We don't know why we do things that undercut our ability. The most significant challenges we usually face are the mental ones and not the physical ones. The key problem that many of us have is that we don't know how to stop sabotaging ourselves. Even if we recognize how we are sabotaging ourselves, we may not be able to stop. Intellectual knowledge is helpful, but it isn't sufficient to make deep and powerful changes. We've tried everything we know and it isn't enough. We need something deeper and more powerful. There's a deeper way of knowing and a deeper self-knowledge that we find when we develop a meditation practice. We find our center where we are in touch with our deep wisdom and passion. When we live, train, and compete from our center, we find more clarity about our strengths and weaknesses. We learn that the barriers that appear to be holding us back are actually invitations to develop, change, improve, and tap into the deep strength that we find inside in order to follow through on what will help us more forward as athletes and people. This book of daily meditations for golfers has 366 meditations, one for each day of the calendar year. Each month has a different theme. Each meditation has some thoughts for your reflection and has a unique affirmation at the end, which you use for your meditation. You mindfully read the reflection and then meditate on the affirmation. The Second Edition includes a mental game assessment so that readers can know how to use the book most effectively. The introduction is simpler. The meditations and affirmations have been updated and simplified for ease of use. The sanctuary meditation technique is more integrated throughout the book. The Meditation Scripts chapter has been updated and simplified. The language in the book is more conversational. For many of us golfers, playing at a high level or "in the zone" is an unpredictable event. We don't know when or why it happens. After we have learned to meditate effectively, we recognize that the experiences that we have while meditating are similar to the experiences we have while playing in the zone. That's because playing in the zone is a meditative state. We can learn to play in the zone more often by learning to meditate in the right ways. When we learn to meditate, we learn to manage ourself in ways that are conducive to optimal performance. That's what this book teaches you to do. Meditation may not be what you think it is. This form of meditation does not require you to sit for long periods of time in silence. This form of meditation actively uses your imagination. It's simple to learn and practice. The book assumes that you do not have any experience with meditation. With this book, you have a program for developing your mental game in as little as 15 minutes per day.

Book Description
★★★ Buy the Paperback version of this book & get the Kindle eBook version included for FREE ★★★ You are only as good as your swing. Practice makes perfect. Frustrated golfer syndrome. Golf can be an emotional rollercoaster - lying awake at 3AM wondering the woulda, coulda, shoulda of the day's game. Golfers who hit a bad shot feel helpless. We had an intention but failed to execute it. The mental picture we had of our swing and its glorious outcome shatters at impact. We don't really know what happened. But because it's mysterious, we can't correct it and we can't be sure it won't happen again. The extreme example of this is the dreaded shank-a rogue hit off the hosel of the club that squirts away from the golfer dead right. It's embarrassing. The problem is that once you shank, you begin to imagine that another shank is hovering, right there, just waiting - til the very right moment to appear - and mortify you, in front of your friends. A dear colleague of mine has had nightmares about hitting a shank for years. To add salt to the wound, the feeling of sheer frustration isn't limited to extreme mishits like the shank- it is also there when our mind picture turns into the exact opposite when we hit the ball. Then the next week, we think, what exactly happened. where was I standing, what did I do? All of the woulda, coulda, shoulda thoughts and self observations may be correct but by the time we go out to the course again, we have forgotten the minute details. The fact then remains that we usually don't know why we hit a bad shot that afternoon. You may have one of those handy little putting machines - you putt like a fiend in your home office (or maybe in your office at work). Monday is the worst day of the week for you as the weekend's game haunts you throughout the day, in meetings too - which is a nightmare in itself. You've bought the best clubs. Your putter - well let's just say you had it delivered to the office so your spouse wouldn't see the price tag (yes, I know you well). Golf balls? Dozens of boxes of em sit in your desk drawer. The 3 piece urethane that matches the Tour standard golf ball in every way. The 2 piece urethane slightly harder ball suitable for the intermediate player. Then there are the 3 piece soft-ionomer color ball that blow your mind with the performance and eye catching look.You own them all. The fact is my friend, all the cool golf stuff in the world won't help until you help you - it really is simple - drill down and see the who, what, where in the game. This performance stats workbook, it isn't really pretty. It is designed to help you evaluate what you did - right, wrong and outstanding. It definitely isn't for the weak of heart either. It is a robust workbook - we added some graphics to try to soften the blow, but this is a workbook to seriously evaluate yourself and your golf game. This isn't a mamby-pamby hold your hand workbook. Made 8 x 10 is size, it is made for you to sit down and seriously lay out the day's game facts. It won't fit in your pocket, it is hefty - 200+ pages. No fluff. No sunshine & rainbows content - instead you'll be filling in details of yardage, tournaments, taking a cold hard look at your game and seeing what you did wrong & what you did right. Excellent tool for the golfer who wants to look back and evaluate his or her improvement. Loera Publishing LLC was founded by Diana Loera, a Midwest farmer's daughter. She's had the privilege of buying advertising for some of the top golf products & instructional systems in the world. She hopes you find this performance stats workbook to be a valuable tool in improving your game.

Book Description
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.

Don't play not to play poorly) to just about any topic a golfer might imagine, this is the ideal way for players to get all of Rotella's teachings.
