A Thoroughly Read!

As a hacker who took up the game later in life, and one involved in living a spiritual life, this book blends both endeavors beautifully.

nothing about mindfulness or Zen

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021

Big disappointment, the book could’ve maximum 15 pages, the rest is just un related content, golf advice from a 15 handicap unqualified to give it and nothing related to mindfulness approach to the game.

This is a good book! Following Stephen Altschulers's philosophy have made me a better golfer. However, there are to many description of unknown golf courses and earlier rounds played by the author. Probably he trives to sau something.

This book can improve your golf game (and your life) better than a slew of "golf instruction" books. If you learn to play "mindful golf," it will lower your handicap and increase your enjoyment of the game.

The Mindful Golfer—Amazon Review

Mindfulness has been used for hundreds of years in Eastern spiritual tradition as a way to reduce tension and “stay in the moment”. The Mindful Golfer, written by a long time Buddhist practitioner and mental health counselor who has been an avid amateur golfer for 50 years, is an extraordinarily well-written practical guide to golf wisdom beginning with Golf in the Kingdom.

Altschuler’s writing is both funny and honest in describing the numerous ways his swing, age and emotions get in the way of putting the ball in the cup. Though one can disagree with some of his golf tips, which are often rooted in the pre-modern swing tradition, his infectious enthusiasm and evocative anecdotes are real aids to those of us who still struggle with and love the game.

Altschuler’s insights on the character and foibles of pros from Palmer to Woods are alone worth the price of admission.

What’s not to like. An enlightening and worth addition to my three shelves of golf books.
