Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Enhager, a Swedish instructor, relates the parable of frustrated golfer John Smith, who journeys to Iowa, home of "quantum golf genius" Linc St. Clair in a desperate search to remedy his flagging game. St. Clair recommends employing the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a proponent of transcendental meditation, in combination with quantum theory physics in order to present the ultimate mental/physical approach to the game. Smith ponders recommendations like "Inhale on the backswing, say 'super,' then upon exhalation say 'fluid.' " For deeper understanding, author Enhager recommends Deepak Chopra's Quantum Healing (Bantam, 1989) and Robert Roth's Transcendental Meditation (Donald I. Fine, 1987), while the Maharishi suggests the Bhagavad-Gita , with translation and commentary. In the last scenario, St. Clair applauds as Smith scores a hole in one. Recommended for libraries needing offbeat golf material.

Excellent Book To Learn Rhythm,
This review is from: Quantum Golf: The Path to Golf Mastery (Paperback)
I'm a pretty good golfer, and I knew that my game was plateauing. I was stuck at about 79-83, and I knew that spending time beating balls at the driving range was getting me no where. I bought this book based on the reviews I saw here, and I have to admit I am SHOCKED. The book is that good. It's a story, that reveals the secrets of golf within it, primarily teaching you better rhythm, and how to "dance with the club", I feel the difference already, and I have owned the book for only 3 days. Its a great read, and very helpful, I would recommend to all level of players.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi plays golf,
This review is from: Quantum Golf: The Path to Golf Mastery (Paperback)
I'd heard of transcendental meditation since the mid-70's and always found it fascinating. I never paid the exorbitant fee they wanted to learn it, but understood enough of the fundamentals that I could apply it to some things in my life.
This was the first book about golf that actually used those principles. I had been in the Navy for quite a while and had the opportunity to play golf at many fine courses around the world. I bought this book one early summer while my handicap was hovering around 17 and went on leave. I read the book, practiced the way the teacher asked in the book, and went back to my duties after my thirty day leave. Within a month, I had my handicap down to 12 (quite an accomplishment for a self-taught duffer like myself. I highly recommend this book to anyone that aspires to achieve "Zen" in their golf game.
