Zen and the Art of Golf is a sports humor book regarding a round of golf played the Zen way. To play great Zen golf, you need to have good balance, great determination and sublime faith in your own ability. Of course you should also always keep your head down and your eye on the ball. The occurrences and performances indicated in the story contain certain truths. The events portrayed, however are semi-factual. Because the intent is more so to entertain rather than enlighten, any enlightenment that is obtained, while it may be viable, in truth is purely coincidental.

This story is about freedom: the freedom of choice, the freedom to learn, and the freedom to dream. The backdrop of the story is Ojibway mythology with a touch of Zen philosophy thrown in for good measure. The characters are fictitious. The concept is not. This is simply a story of a meeting between a young man and a First Nations medicine man. It is not meant to be anything but (hopefully) entertaining. The idea that the story could ever be remotely true is far fetched, however it is hoped that the ideas presented will be enjoyed and freely interpreted.

It isn't always easy to know what to say. This book includes the wit and wisdom of a wide range of coaches from throughout the world and will help you to inspire your athletes to perform!
