Product Description

Golf. It's a game of patience and skill. A silent contest between our deepest anxieties and highest ideals.

But at its heart, the game of golf is about just that-heart. Presenting ancient wisdom with a light and humorous touch, this book reveals how to master golf (and the rest of your world) by first mastering your heart and mind. It reveals how miracles like those found in Golf in the Kingdom and The Legend of Bagger Vance can happen here and now for anyone.

Printer Bowler's unique approach weaves together the mental, spiritual and philosophical aspects of the game with fundamental golf knowledge-inviting players to look at, experiment with, and enjoy golf in a whole new light. From Buddhist parables of wisdom to imaginative practical exercises and sensory training, The Cosmic Laws of Golf (and everything else) will open your heart, reclaim your inner power, and-with a little time at the range-maybe even lower your score.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book, June 12, 2001

By	Chris Medeiros (Newton, NH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I started playing golf 2 years ago. I am just your typical once a week, once every 2 weeks golfer. A friend at college informed me of this book. I read it and then reread it. (A note: I hate to read) This book just peaked my interest. The first time out on the course after reading it I hit better than I ever had by far, took 9 strokes off my best ever. I have been trying the mental techniques and positive thinking strategies presented here and can honestly say I am having more fun on the golf course than I have ever had. Each time I play I have more and more confidence and my shots are getting more and more accurate. I recommend this book to anyone who loves the game of golf or the art of Zen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doing is Believing, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

If you cannot let go of the eternal search for just the right grip, just the perfect driver, the longest ball or all the other "externals" of golf, you will not be able to discover the TRUTH in these pages. Since reading this book for the first time last week, I have had three sub-par nines in the last seven days. I can't remember having a sub-par nine at any time. The real joy and glory of golf is revealed in these pages and my recent scores show that the applied philosophy does work...but, better scores is not the goal and once you let this truth become part of your golfing being, you will come to enjoy the game, the people you play with and even yourself at a deeper and more fulfilling level. "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear". I have read many golf training books and this one may just be for you if you are "ready".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, October 8, 2001

By	Jacqueline Kozak "kojackie" (Newton,NH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have only recently started golfing. This was my first book I read on it. I liked this book because I could apply what I read to more things than golf. It helped me to understand golfing because I could relate what I already knew to golfing.
