1 Stars Not up to Par
Disappointed and duped into spending $s for old material; a recapitulation of his prior books Zen Golf and Zen Putting. Should have suspected this after seeing his website touting a “club” for members with the opportunity to spend more money. The best thing about the thing are the Ravielli drawings!

What is so cool about this book is not so much what it contains as much as how it is written. It consists of 100 tips written on mostly one page, occasionally carries over onto a second page. You can read them in seconds; get the idea or thought, then move on. To me it would be a great book to read one to three tips a day. For people like me who only think about golf whenever I get a chance to play, the book gives me the opportunity to think about golf a little bit every day. Most of the items covered in the book are not about the golf swing, they are about the mental side of the game as are Dr. Parent’s other books, Zen Golf and Zen Putting. It is like taking the yellow highlighted sections from Zen Golf and Zen Putting and putting only those words into this book like a daily study. I like it if you can’t tell. I also like all of Dr. Parent’s books, CDs and DVDs; he is a fabulous teacher of the mental game.
5 Stars This one is a keeper!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. If you are interested in improving your golf game, this book will most certainly help you navigate some of the toughest terrain on the course, the six inches between your ears!
5 Stars The Art of the Game review
First I must say that the delivery of the book was great! Amazon delivered the book when they said they would and it arrived in perfect shape. Dr. Joe Parent, who wrote this book, is one of my favorite golf writers. His ideas about the mental side of the game are the best. This particular book separates his suggestions into the different areas of the game: preparation, set-up, driving, fairway woods, irons, chipping and putting. Take one or two tips every other day, and you will enjoy your golf game more.
