Product Description
The Buddha’s seven years of wandering in search of enlightenment ended in frustration. So did the author’s thirty years of traversing golf courses. Neither found what they were looking for until they stopped searching outside and started looking within. The result for James Ragonnet was the kind of “second birthday” Eastern thinkers describe when “you wake up to everything happening around you.” Through delightful anecdotes and practical lessons, Ragonnet reveals the power of awareness, balance, and unity to banish the dissatisfaction and stagnation so many golfers experience. He shows how “all golf Buddhas — Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam, Tiger Woods — play with their outer and inner eyes wide open,” describes his twelfth-green OOGE (“out-of-golf-experience”), and offers readers simple truths that prompt flashes of understanding. These insights invite birdies, drop handicaps, and transform experience both on and off the course.Now in paperback, this edition includes two chapters of all new material.
Customer Reviews
This is more than a book about golf, it's about how to live a better life at optimal level. You don't have to be a Buddhist to follow its three main truths, awareness, balance and unity. It's well written without being preachy, and will revitalize how you go about playing and practicing. It's a wake-up call literally; many of us are sleep-walking and not paying attention to what's going on. And when we practice, we spend more time on driving or what we do well than on our weaknesses to round up our game. We could pay more attention to restoring balance and unity in our golf and our lives.If you want a golf book on how to create a perfect swing and want chapters on the swing mechanics, don't look for them in this book. But don't be surprised if you end up playing better golf. Read the book, follow the concepts, and you'll find yourself viewing life differently. In Hawaiian, there's a saying, Be akamai, which means, be smart. This book will help to make you smarter.
