A Note from the Author
All golfers from PGA and LPGA Touring Professional to beginners have experienced frustration on the golf course. I am no exception. I started playing golf when I was in college. My skills steadily improved over the years and I eventually broke 80 and achieved a single-digit handicap. Then I plateaued. I started messing with my swing and my scores skyrocketed. I knew I was capable of playing better and shooting lower scores. I was so frustrated, I quit the game of golf.
After a long break, I started hitting golf balls again. However, something had changed this time around. When I hit a great shot, I noticed I was doing something different. What was I doing? NOTHING. No swing thoughts, no distractions, no second-guessing, no effort. I got out of my own way. This was the beginning of my exploration into the power of the mental game and sports psychology. With my education, research and commitment to the sport of golf, I started my golf academy that focuses exclusively on helping golfers play to their potential utilizing mental game techniques, instruction and The Seven Principles of Golf.
These principles are the foundation for my golf academy as we have coached thousands of golfers like you. My philosophy has always been to keep it simple and practical with a Zen-like approach. The results have been tremendous. I hope you enjoy The Seven Principles of Golf and experience a transformation in your golf game and life.

I appreciate this book a lot. Helped me get out of a mental rut in my golf game 😅 I also really appreciated the section on how to apply each principle off the golf course. 👍🏻

This little green book is a terrific instructional guide for learning how to master the mental aspect of golf and then use it to improve your life. It applies a lot of Buddhist principles to golf (ex. Be present = take it one shot at a time), but Gee does an excellent job of balancing abstract thought with concrete exercises and practical tips (accompanied by step-by-step illustrations), and reinforces his points with anecdotes about his students, himself, and even PGA stars. The second part of each chapter is devoted to how to use these concepts to improve your enjoyment of life.
Gee writes in a straightforward, nurturing manner - it's almost as if he's being patient and gentle because he knows how volatile golfers can be! Actually, he knows it first-hand because he also teaches golfers here on the Big Island at the Spirit of Golf Academy, which he founded. I'll be giving this to all of the golfers in my life!

It's all about how to achieve zen on the golf course. But I just got angry on the golf course, because I couldn't achieve zen. That's all you need to know about the psychology of golf, I think.

This book takes such a different approach to the game of golf.
It goes over the finer points of the mental part of the game and helps you stay focused. I would highly recommend it.
