The bestselling author of Zen Golf (more than 100,000 copies sold) presents a new book of profound wisdom and proven techniques for achieving the confidence in putting that all golfers know is the key to peak performance on the greens.Blending Buddhist wisdom, modern psychology, and practical golf instruction, Dr. Joe Parent’s 2002 book Zen Golf broke out to become the top instructional book in golf, and continues to be a steady bestseller. Now, in the eagerly awaited follow-up, Dr. Parent provides readers with a new approach to the aspect of golf in which mental skills have the most impact: putting.
Zen Putting takes a thinking-outside-the-box approach based on the idea that by tuning into the process of putting rather than worrying about the result, golfers can get out of their own way and maximize performance. Key principles include using mindful awareness to recognize and clear away distractions and negativity, and that confidence increases when golfers take the attitude that there is something fundamentally, essentially right with them rather than focusing on what’s broken or flawed. In succinct, informative chapters, Dr. Parent applies this Zen ideal to a variety of subjects for any putting situation.
Chapters include:
• “Unconquerable Confidence”: brimming with strategies to cultivate confidence and turn frustration into enjoyment.
• “Get Out of Your Own Way”: exploring the obstacles we create for ourselves in putting, and how to recognize and overcome them to get the most out of our abilities.
• “How to Make Every Putt”: on reading greens; visualization; putting routine; the key components of a putt—path, pace, and roll; and taking the ideal attitude before putting.
Unlike rigid how-to books on putting or fad coaching techniques, Zen Putting stirs each reader to cultivate their own unique style for synchronizing body and mind to achieve peak performance.

It’s not about changing your swing—it’s about changing your mind: Two legendary coaches give golfers a powerful new approach to the game... and to life.As coaches to some of golf’s top players, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott have designed and refined a revolutionary way of teaching the game, with phenomenal results. They don’t believe in prescribing the same stance, grip, and swing to everyone, followed by hours of purposeless drilling. They don’t even believe in beginning with physical technique. Their success has proven to them that a great game begins with a great vision.
Unlike any other golf book, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose offers cutting-edge techniques for integrating the physical, technical, mental, emotional, and social parts of a player’s game. The book’s revolutionary pre-shot routine will improve your focus, leading to a golf swing that is not only successful but can be repeated under extreme pressure. Emphasizing the individual golfer rather than a rigid set of mechanics, their VISION54 method takes the frustration out of the game. Why 54? Because they believe it’s possible to shoot a 54 (making a birdie on every hole of a par-72 course) if you have the right mind-set and well-honed intuitive power.
An engaging read for the beginner or the seasoned golfer, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose is inspiration for life, not just the links.
“I have been impressed by Pia ever since I saw her in action in the late 1980’s, first as a player and then as my coach. Pia is open-minded and intelligent and possesses the desire to constantly help others develop... I have been inspired to follow her beliefs and life philosophy.”
—Annika Sorenstam, LPGA

The Seven Personalities of Golf
The Intimidator
(Tiger Woods)
The Swashbuckler
(Arnold Palmer)
The Methodologist
(Nick Faldo)
The Gamesman
(Lee Trevino)
The Steady Eddy
(Tom Watson)
The Laid Back
(Fred Couples)
The Artist
(Seve Ballesteros)
Is your personality affecting your game? Do you approach every shot with a go-for-broke attitude, even when the moment might reward a more deliberate, methodical strategy? Or do you carefully calculate every swing, even when a bit of reckless abandon might give you a better chance of getting out of a jam?
Every golfer, whether amateur or pro, has a dominant personality: a set of traits that sometimes helps you win—but sometimes lands you in the rough. By carefully observing professional golfers’ behavior and analyzing his own students’ successes and failures, leading golf instructor Darrin Gee has identified seven basic personality types and the on-the-course strengths and weaknesses each confers.
Are you naturally an “Intimidator” (like Tiger Woods)? A “Methodologist” (like Nick Faldo)? A “Gamesman” (like Lee Trevino)? Gee illustrates the basic characteristics of each type with accounts of great players’ performances—brilliant and disastrous. Next, he provides a quick questionnaire to help you determine whether you fit that particular bill. Then, Gee shows you how to use your personality to your advantage while outlining situations where you’d be wise to take a tip from another personality’s playbook. The latest of Gee’s insightful guides, Seven Personalities offers essential advice for any golfer wanting to improve his or her mental game.
