"The one book every disc golfer needs... If you only pick up one book on this list, make it this one... This is one of those books that will end up with highlighter and notes all over it as you read it again and again." - Mind Body Disc Golf Reading List (MindBodyDisc.com)

"It is a cool book to motivate and inspire you, speaking in terms that Disc Golfers can understand. Definitely check this book out." - Bobby Brown AKA Cool Daddy Slick Breeze (The Disc Golf Answer Man Podcast)

"Zen and the Art of Disc Golf is a perfect read anytime of the year to help your disc golf game...It's safe to say that you'll take something away from it and in the end, you'll take steps to being a better disc golfer with the knowledge you'll gain." - Zach Parcell (All Things Disc Golf)

Disc Golf is more than a game, Patrick D. McCormick carefully argues, it can be a window that shows us how we interact with the world. The way we play is the way we live.

This book is about the sport of Disc Golf, but it also is about so much more than throwing a disc at a basket. For the passionate practitioner, Disc Golf becomes a meditation, and practicing not only has the potential to make us better players, but better people as we begin to focus on what we are doing on the course that is working or not working versus what we are doing at home or in the office.

"Zen and the Art of Disc Golf" is about becoming the best players we can be and in turn becoming the best possible version of ourselves through cultivation of attitude, focus, determination, and mental strength. It is about mastering the mind, body, and spirit in such a way that we score better and live better.

Inside this book you will learn:
-What Disc Golf can teach us about life and success
-The secret formula for success on and off the course.
-How to create the proper attitude and focus to become better Disc Golfers and in turn live better lives.
-How visualization improves our game and our lives.
-Who you need to be playing with on the course.
-How to hit more chains and less trees.
-How to take yourself off autopilot and elevate your scores and your game.
-The 3 sides of Disc Golf and how to balance them.

Most importantly, after reading this book you will walk away ready to Ace holes and Ace life.

Disc Golf is life. Life is good.

In the year 2008, there were 8.6 million seniors playing golf. That's a whopping 33% of the 28 million people who played. Even with the growing boomer population, there has yet to be a book directed specifically to golfing seniors. This is not another book about swing mechanics. It's about the challenges people face as they age, especially if they don't continue to stay fit and healthy. And it addresses the common complaint of most senior golfers, "I can't hit the ball like I used to." We want to show you how you can improve your golf game and, as a bonus, live a longer, healthier life. In this groundbreaking work we will show you: . What creates the maximum power in a golf swing . Easy ways to increase and maintain strength, flexibility and balance . How to prevent injuries on and off the course . The one activity seniors do daily that hamrs the body most . What to do about existing body aches and pains . Which everyday foods can help your golf game . How you can enjoy your round of golf more and still have energy to enjoy the rest of the day with your family and friends . What is your golf personality as far as needs, style and stress points, how that affects your game and what you do to change it to lower your score . How to stay focused on the course . How to become aware and to change the negative thoughts and words about your game that make your handicap rise . Alternative healing methods used by pros to keep them fit and playing well . Why tour players add conscious breathing to their pre-shot routine The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter I looks at what, besides arms, (the main source of power for seniors) creates power in the golf swing. Chapter II busts the conventional myths of aging and gives suggestions on how to stay youthful and vital. In Chapter III, Dr. Cherie Smith, D.C. describes the toll golf takes on your body and how you can alleviate aches, paind and strains associated with the game. Chapter IV offers great examples of strengthening movement you can do at home, without purchasing expensive fitness equipment. Chapter V talks about what Hippocrates said, "Eat as if your food is your medicine and your medicine is your food." Many seniors complain of loss of energy. Most of this comes from sedentary living and poor nutritional habits. No preaching, only information to use as you wish, with suggestions on how you may be able to cut down or elminate toxic prescription meds. Chapter VI describes how you can take control of your mental game. Dave Bisbee divides your golf personality into a G (Tiger), O, (Jim Furyk), L (Sergio Garcia), or F (Fred Couples), how these personality types will govern what you do on the course and how you can use the information to better your game - and your life. Chapter VII shows you how changing yor self-talk will not only improve your mood but improve your game. Discover how to stay in the present moment-one shot, one hole, one round at a time. Even if you choose to make only one or two small changes as described in this book, your life will improve drastically. You'll wake up in the morning excited to have another day to find the joy in life and after a great round of golf, be able to rest comfortably, without aches and pains. This is unlike any other golf book you've ever seen, sharing age-defying secrets to a better game and a healthier life for you and your family.

Well, here's a chance to read about just how strange we sound at times. Ever wonder why nobody has ever written a decent rap song about golf? Wonder no more because the lyrics are in this book.

Ben Hogan's legendary secret finally comes to light, literally making it a whole new ball game. This Whip grip (coupled with a change in the stance) is designed to give the rest of us the flexibility that has been missing from the Vardon technique since the days of the hickory shaft. Named after the first man-made object to break the sound barrier - the Bullwhip - it enhances the four variables to the physics formula for distance: more length, width, launch angle and clubhead speed. The senior golfer will find it a veritable fountain of youth; supplying extra distance, while massively reducing joint and muscle stress with an astounding additional THREE FEET OF TAKEAWAY ON THE DRAWBACK. For the pro, it prevents the small muscles in the hands from creating havoc under the pressure of the TV cameras. For the novice, it's a fast track method of improvement to the intermediate and advanced levels. And, for the non-golfer, it provides a method of hearing the glorious wail of the bagpipes for the very first time.

THE THUMBS DOWN METHOD. Get ready for some out-of-the-box thinking for improving your golf game. You probably never thought of Thumbs Down as a positive thing, but now it is. In fact, this negative expression is the best thing that ever happened to your golf game. It's not just another gimmick! Making a Thumbs Down motion while striking the golf ball squares the club and provides a power booster to your existing swing. Without trying to kill the ball, Thumbs Down releases the club and magically puts you in the correct finishing position. Good putters use their Thumbs for feel, also to visualize the line. Use your Thumbs to improve your ball striking too. Lower scores are not a guarantee; They are the natural results!

Author Biography

In less than two years, Bob Morris, 78 years young, went from being a recruiter to a comedian and then to a published author. In May of 2013 he retired as a recruiter after 48 years to pursue his dream and number one item on his bucket list which was to do stand-up comedy before a live audience. He went to The Manhattan Comedy School in New York City to learn how to write jokes and perform them. After six weeks he completed school and on July 10th performed before 240 people at the Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. Without question he was a howling success. He came away realizing that he could write funny and perform funny. His family and friends kept asking him "So what's next?" The standard next step for comedian "wannabees" is to go to venues that have late evening "open mics" (microphones) to get performing experience (unpaid) and perhaps get discovered. That approach was not appealing because getting home after midnight would put a strain on his 48 year marriage. Bob also felt that becoming discovered was not likely to happen in the near future. He needed a faster pace. He decided to combine two of his passions - golf and humor- and wrote an original golf joke book using the name Bogey Bob Morris. The way he golfs it should have been Double Bogey Bob Morris. The book, Two Golf Balls Rolled Into A bar, was published in November, 2014. He has already started on the next book: Three Golf Balls Rolled Into A Bar! He graduated Middlebury College in 1956 majoring in Drama.His senior year drama project was producing and directing a comedy written by his father. In the summer of 1954 he was an apprentice at the Falmouth Playhouse in Massachusetts. The following summer he was in the summer acting group at Tufts College. His first job out of college was a Page Boy at the American Broadcasting Company in New York City. At night time he attend the NY School of Television where he learned more about what he saw at his job. In 1957 he had to spend 6 months on active duty with the NY National Guard. Upon returning he ended up working in a Greenwich Village theater. He then knocked around in various sales jobs and in March of 1964 he began a 48 year career as a recruiter. Later that year he got married to Susan, a California girl he met on Fire Island. Two years later he became a father to Melissa and the three moved to Rye NY. Two more children came along; Corrine in 1968 and Erica in 1970. They are all married with 2 kids each.

"When Golf was Fun" is a collection of tales from what is known as the "beer and barbecue circuit" of golf tournaments. These tournaments held in small town all across the state of Texas were not only the beginning of the careers of many great golfers but also produced some local legends. It was a time when golf was still a game, not a big business. This collection of 38 stories will entertain and amaze as you read first-hand accounts of some of the greatest exploits in the history of golf. You will read about local golf pros who are unknown outside of their local country club and you will also read about legends like Ben Crenshaw, Bruce Lietzke, Charles Coody, Miller Barber, Ben Hogan and others. Texas has a very rich golf history and much of it is captured in "When Golf was Fun." The late, great beer and barbecue circuit was a bygone era of Texas golf in which many Lone Star legends were born and raised but has since given way to the more civilized and organized golf industry we know today. Much like baseball's barnstorming days, the barbecue circuit was a series of unaffiliated events that brought an extremely high level of golf and excitement to tiny towns like Center and Athens; Quanah and Pampa-places you might otherwise never have known even existed.

As the former amateur golfer's life continues to unfold in a reasonably satisfying, somewhat predictable pattern, Joe is enjoying a happy marriage, working as a bank executive, and gearing up for retirement. But as he is about to discover, life has a way of throwing a curveball that changes everything.

Following a weekend spent watching the Masters golf tournament on television, Joe is working at his desk when he receives a message from God on his computer screen that tells him he has been chosen to deliver an inspirational message to the world that the seemingly impossible is possible. God tells Joe he is going to play in the Masters the following spring, and if his faith is strong enough, he will win. As Joe embarks on a spiritual journey to make a difference, he must learn to face his fears, have confidence in his abilities, and commit to his goals before he can succeed.

Walking with Herb is an inspirational story of an aging small-town banker's attempt to fulfill his higher purpose and, with God's help, prove that anything is possible.

-Shanshan Feng, LPGA Major Champion, reached top five Official World Golf Ranking

With more and more of golf's major champions preparing the same way as Olympians prepare in other sports, have you ever thought about how they actually work on the different aspects of their games? Or have you ever wondered how often you should practice different elements of your game? Have you ever thought about how often major champions utilize video analysis and work on swing shape relative to ball flight, distance control, and feel drills? Similarly, have you ever wondered how many rounds major champions play between tournaments or how often they do preshot routines and what they think about? We will answer these questions and more in Train for Golf like an Olympian, so you can bring your A game to the first tee.

This is your access to an authentic look at the training insights and practice secrets of top-ranked players at all levels, including major champions. This book provides a detailed blueprint that has been laboriously researched, tested, utilized, and proven over the past two decades. It presents the best training plans covering all aspects of the game ever assembled in the world of golf. You will get the latest game-changing information on: technique, mind-sets, tournament plans, training schedules, short game, evaluations, goal setting, and peak performances. Gilchrist and Huffman convey the training knowledge they have shared with the top players in the game of golf. Now this unprecedented inside look at top players' training regimens is finally available for you to apply.

The twenty-five-day golf challenge at the end of the book provides a clear, long-term plan for peak performances. Plus, by applying the information in this book, you can develop the skill of making your own world-class training schedule.

This book is written utilizing a neutral format-neutral in technique and neutral in the training foundation. Neutral in technique means within the parameters of acceptability based on body types. Not too steep, not too flat-neutral. Not too long, not too short-neutral. Hands not too far forward, hands not too far back-neutral. And so on. Neutral in terms of the training foundation refers to the neutral midpoint between being overly technical and completely neglecting technique. This neutral foundation is based on a concept that regards personality types, swing types, and even body types; some need more work on technique and some need more work on distance control and feel. Plus some individuals' stats show they need more work on chipping, putting, or shot shaping, for instance. You will see that it's OK to vary, but it is important to be cautious of venturing too far from neutral training.

Regardless of what society tells us, we were created to be totally dependent upon God physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The problem is we have put ourselves at the center of our lives and moved God out to the periphery as we try to satisfy all of our desires and ambitions. Only after life begins to "hit the fan" do we realize that "something" is missing. Unfortunately, as powerless human beings we continue to substitute the yearning in our hearts for spiritual and emotional needs with the acquisition of worldly possessions. However, the gnawing emptiness within not only remains, it turns us numb as we continue our search for more of life's gusto. Developing physical, emotional, and spiritual reflex responses is critical to a purpose filled life. To those who feel there is a more fulfilling way to live, let these tips be your playbook for both games. A former golf professional and golf coach, Bill Carlucci resides in Connecticut with his wife Maria of 30 years and two daughters Emily, 24 and Leah, 18. He has played a strong role with the Chamber of Commerce and the Southwest Area (CT) Commerce and Industry Association. He is a past member of the Board of Directors of both Stamford Hospice and the Stamford Youth Foundation. Bill received training in Christian Care-giving, Christ Care Small Group Leadership and as a Prison Fellowship volunteer. He is both a licensed and ordained member of the clergy Bill's ministry is to train people of all ages to manage life using the same mental focus and strategies used in golf. The ministry uses the unifying relationship building opportunities golf provides to break down denominational and racial walls currently standing in the way of unity among Christians.

If you've been struggling for a long time to lower your average score, you're either playing to your maximum physical ability or you don't fully understand the process of improvement. It's the latter. While most golfers believe they have a fairly good understanding of how the game is best played, they actually don't. And it's that lack of understanding, more than anything else, that inhibits their ability to improve.Today's golfer tends to believe that lower scores are achieved through purchasing better equipment, developing a better golf swing, and hitting the ball farther. But golf is not about high-tech equipment, ideal technique, or maximizing clubhead speed. Playing golf is about shot selection and shot creation. When playing golf, you're challenged to select and create the appropriate shot from varying circumstances. The quickest and easiest way to lower your average score is through developing your playing skills: shot selection, club selection, intention, setup position, and swing focus. Developing those skills stems directly from expanding your understanding of the game itself.Raising your potential as a golfer, through expanding your understanding of the game is what this book is about. As you gradually develop your playing skills, you'll notice your scores steadily improve, seemingly without any effort at all. Understanding Golf is truly a roadmap to lower scores.
