Zen Golf - Ultimate Golf Improvement Guide


Today, the buzz word is Zen Golf. Zen golfer understands that their state of mind in important to golf improvement. Learning Zen principles and applying to golf enhances the experience for the golfer. Add Zen Golf to your golfing lifestyle and you find your game improve manifold.

Golf and Zen coincide on all aspects of the game. In Zen Golf, we learn that too much thought fouls up the mental processes causing the player to get tense and screw up the shot. Instead, the Zen golfer will trust his or her body, knowing the body and mind are in tune with one another and make the shot. Not every shot will be perfect going exactly where and how far the golfer intended. But, the major difference is the golfer familiar with, and practicing Zen, will not be adversely affected by a miss hit shot, whereas a golfer who stresses over every shot will.

Good golfers center themselves before each and every shot. While it may look effortless, there is a great deal going on in Zen Golf. The Zen golfer gets his mind and body in tune with one another.

Zen Golf seems a bit unbelievable, and some will object to the statement, for many will be familiar with the truth of this statement - Golf is a Zen experience. This is especially for the better golfers, no matter how they may gag around and seem to be goofing off.

This is what Zen is - being completely and totally in each and every moment at all times. Some people call it living life to its fullest, but that is something entirely poles apart. Zen is more like experiencing every moment of life to its fullest and appreciating the moments for what they are. Zen Golf is an application of Zen to golf. And the Zen golfers prove that it works.

Golf and Zen correspond on all aspects of the game. By being in the moment a golfer takes notice of everything around himself or herself. He or she notes the feel of the breeze as it is blowing across the course, recognizing its force and direction, but not actively thinking about it. He or she also notices the feel of the grass as they stroll down the fairway, but he or she is not thinking about the next shot, not yet. Thinking about the shot will occur when the player gets to the ball. Zen golf works like sixth sense.

At that moment, the player will make a note of the distance from where he or she is to the green, the weather conditions and select a club. Avoiding distractions, the player will focus on how to make the next shot, again, though, without really thinking about it. Too much thought fouls up the mental processes causing the player to get tense and screw up the shot. Instead, the Zen golfer will trust his or her body, knowing the body and mind are in tune with one another and make the shot. Not every shot will be perfect. But, the major difference is the Zen golfer will not be stressed as the non-zen player.

A non-Zen player will get down on himself or herself, thinking how he or she is a lousy golfer and shouldn't be on the course at all. The negative thoughts will be invasive throughout this player's entire body as the body and mind are at odds with one another instead of being in a state of harmony. Consequently, the end result is one bad shot is followed by another, and a good shot is looked upon as an accident, luck or a fluke. Zen golf make the players different.
