Becoming the Master on the Course and in Life : Wisdom from a Golf Pro and a Meditation Master

Perhaps more than any other sport, golf is a mental game, played as much in your mind as on the course. In this insightful and inspiring book, a Buddhist master and a golf pro team up to share techniques to improve your confidence, concentration—and love of the game.

Ever feel like you’re spending all this money on high-end equipment and coaching, and hours in practice, but somehow you''re just not improving? Or that you can hit your shots perfectly in practice, but when you step up to the ball in a game, your shot goes awry? Or that you’re leaving the course frustrated—with yourself, your swing, or the world—somehow forgetting that golf is actually supposed to be fun?

Enter Jesse Moussa, a golf pro, and YongDong Losar, a geshe (the Tibetan Buddhist equivalent of a PhD). The latter shares the rich insights into the workings of the mind that Tibetan Buddhism offers, and the former relates that wisdom to his long career of competition and coaching. Together they offer the techniques they’ve honed over the years to eliminate distraction, maintain focus and equilibrium, and let your swing grow just as the grass does.

This is your opportunity to learn from two masters how to remain present and centered regardless of what the game presents to you—and to step up and hit the ball.
