Paperback. Perhaps more than any other sport, golf is a mental game, played as much in your mind as on the course. In this insightful and inspiring book, a Buddhist master and a golf pro team up to share techniques to improve your confidence, concentration--and love of the game. Ever feel like you're spending all this money on high-end equipment and coaching, and hours in practice, but somehow you're just not improving? Or that you can hit your shots perfectly in practice, but when you step up to the ball in a game, your shot goes awry? Or that you're leaving the course frustrated--with yourself, your swing, or the world--somehow forgetting that golf is actually supposed to be fun? Enter Jesse Moussa, a golf pro, and YongDong Losar, a geshe (the Tibetan Buddhist equivalent of a PhD). The latter shares the rich insights into the workings of the mind that Tibetan Buddhism offers, and the former relates that wisdom to his long career of competition and coaching. Together they offer the techniques they've honed over the years to eliminate distraction, maintain focus and equilibrium, and let your swing grow just as the grass does. This is your opportunity to learn from two masters how to remain present and centered regardless of what the game presents to you--and to step up and hit the ball.

Or that you're leaving the course frustrated--with yourself, your swing, or the world--somehow forgetting that golf is actually supposed to be fun?

Enter Jesse Moussa, a golf pro, and YongDong Losar, a geshe (the Tibetan Buddhist equivalent of a PhD). The latter shares the rich insights into the workings of the mind that Tibetan Buddhism offers, and the former relates that wisdom to his long career of competition and coaching. Together they offer the techniques they've honed over the years to eliminate distraction, maintain focus and equilibrium, and let your swing grow just as the grass does.

About the Authors

Geshe YongDong Losar (Geshela) is a Tibetan B�n lama, or spiritual teacher, in the Yungdrung B�n lineage, which is rooted in the indigenous spiritual tradition of the Himalayas. He lives in Courtenay, British Columbia. where he established and directs Sherab Chamma Ling, the only Tibetan B�n Buddhist Center in Canada. He teaches in many centers and universities around the world and has also founded the Bon Da Ling center in Costa Rica.

Jesse has extensive education in golf management and instruction in Canada and the United States and has been a Class A Professional with the CPGA since 2007. He has developed his career with the CPGA for seventeen years, and his commitment to the game and industry is still strong. His passion is in growing the love of the game and developing ways to make teaching more effective and learning more fun. Jesse is an inventor of a patented golf training aid, "The Right Touch," which he developed to help his students wipe out the stubborn slice, with the backing of world-renowned instructors Fred Griffin and Mike Adams. His passion lies in inspiring confidence, enjoyment, and progress in his students and fellow instructors. He believes that improving your skills can be as much fun as playing the game. Jesse's favorite place to be, other than home, is at the golf course, sharing his love of the game while supporting others, and playing and honing his own skills, too.
