The bestselling author of Zen Golf (more than 100,000 copies sold) presents a new book of profound wisdom and proven techniques for achieving the confidence in putting that all golfers know is the key to peak performance on the greens.
Blending Buddhist wisdom, modern psychology, and practical golf instruction, Dr. Joe Parents 2002 book Zen Golf broke out to become the top instructional book in golf, and continues to be a steady bestseller. Now, in the eagerly awaited follow-up, Dr. Parent provides readers with a new approach to the aspect of golf in which mental skills have the most impact: putting.
Zen Putting takes a thinking-outside-the-box approach based on the idea that by tuning into the process of putting rather than worrying about the result, golfers can get out of their own way and maximize performance.

Persons with respiratory issues should consult a health professional before doing any breathing exercise.
My two main meditation teachers were the Tibetan master Chgyam Trungpa and his principal student, sel Tendzin. The basic practice of mind training they taught was a combination of mindfulness and awareness. Although the practices described in this book are sufficient for application to golf and everyday experiences, if you wish to delve deeper into the mindful awareness practice in the Buddhist tradition, it is important to have personal instruction from a qualified teacher.

A crowned hole means that the area immediately around the opening is raised. This is a consequence of the surface around the hole not being pressed down enough after the plug of earth and sod is pulled out to make the hole. Footprints pressing down a circle a few inches from the hole cause a circular indentation and contrasting raised area next to the hole. This is what Dave Pelz calls the lumpy donut effect.

Golf and Life: Putting Things into Perspective
T here are many people to whom I am grateful for their contribution to the development of this book. Whatever wisdom may be expressed in this work is what I learned from my teachers, the Venerable Chgyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and the Vajra Regent sel Tendzin (Thomas F. Rich), as well as many other great masters of mind and meditation with whom I have had the privilege of studying, including the current holder of their lineage of practice and study, Trim Lhawang (Patrick Sweeney). A special thank you to my Zen archery ( kyudo ) teachers, Kanjuro Shibata Sensei XX, Imperial Archer and Bowmaker of Japan, and his main disciple, Sam West. They show what it means to never give up and never give in.
Although we now live far apart, I will always be grateful to my dear friend and fellow coach, Ed Hanczaryk, one of Canadas top fifty teaching professionals. It was his encouragement and conviction that I had something very unique to offer that inspired my career path.
There cant be a teacher without students or a coach without players. To the many golfers who were willing to think outside the box and entrusted their games to our work together, I am deeply grateful. Much appreciation to Vijay Singh, who recognized and applied what Zen Golf had to offer in his climb to number one in the world, as well as many other touring professionals, including David Toms, Len Mattiace, Carlos Franco, Tim Petrovic, Steve Lowery, Wes Short, Jr., Doug Barron, Jason Schultz, Jon Fiedler, David Berganio, Jr., Mhairi McKay, Brian Wilson, Mike Meehan, Tommy Barber, Jr., and all the other tour players with whom Ive worked and made friendships over the years.
