Golf is a no-nonsense sport. You've got your balls, your clubs, and your course. So what is this Indian spiritualist doctor doing barging into the middle of it with his mystical theories of life? Well, as Harvey Penick once observed, golf is life. And if there's a way to improve your life, it will probably improve your golf. This is where Dr. Chopra comes in, because he's a keen observer and diagnostician of life and golf. He tells us the story of Adam, who is having a terrible day on the links, and who meets up with a sweet golf pro named Wendy. In seven short but memorable lessons, she teaches him principles which will help him to improve his game and to improve his outlook on life.
While golf as a head game is not a new idea, it's never been taught with the deep understanding of the mind-body connection that Chopra brings to this audio. The seven life principles, right out of Chopra's teaching and even more inviting in a golf context, are offered as an allegory that pits a struggling golfer against the things in himself that get in his way on the golf course. His young teaching pro, Leela, offers him guidance that, expressed with Chopra's usual elegance, transforms the overzealous scorekeeper into a person fully connected with the beauty of the game. A seminal resource for anyone who loves the game or is trying to love it and for anyone wanting to love life. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

"This is the finest book on golf that I have ever read. If you are interested in taking your game to the next level, this is a must-read."
Michael Murphy, author of Golf in the Kingdom and founder of the Esalen Institute...
"Deepak Chopra has done as much as anyone in recent years to promote understanding of our spiritual potentials and the connections between mysticism and science. But now he has embraced a more difficult subject: the relations of spirit and golf. This is not an easy undertaking, but he is equipped for the job. If you are interested in both spiritual practice and the ancient game, Golf for Enlightenment will help you join them."
Sterling Sharpe, ESPN analyst and golfer...
"This book walks hand in hand with the Bible in how to live. This is a great connection between everyday life and your athletic one."
Marcus Allen, CBS football analyst and golfer...
"Golf for Enlightenment is an eloquent reminder that there is a Garden of Eden just waiting to be discovered in all of us."
Tom Addis III, former president of the PGA of America...
"Too many players make the game of golf a results-based game instead of an experience. The perspective in this book will help players get past that and the result will be a higher level of enjoyment for this game."
