More DescriptionAs any golfer can tell you, playing golf and Buddhist thinking are both forever intertwined with suffering! Combine golf with the Buddha and you’ve got a unique, insightful, instructional and hilariously entertaining book. With over 30 million golfers in the U.S. alone, the market for this book is huge.There are thousands of golf books, but none like this. In Buddha Plays 18, the Great Master himself actually plays an 18-hole golf course while the book’s author (serving as his caddy), documents an insightful shot-by-shot account in a fun, yet truly informative and instructional format. Throughout the book’s dialogue, readers will be gradually introduced to great golf lessons, most all of which are being derived from the basics of Buddhist philosophy. Buddha’s presents an extremely insightful approach as he plays the Enlightenment Country Club course and entertains readers with humor, kindness, logic, love, proper golf technique and above all, wisdom. The result? Lower scores for any golfer of any ability level! But what can the over 2,500 year-old Buddha teach about golf? Instead of only learning the theoretical “right way” to hit or putt a golf ball, Buddha teaches how to actually perform the shots and putts on the course. Through the use of detailed visualizations (or “seeing” in the mind’s eye), and Buddhist principles while playing a round of golf, Buddha presents valuable stroke-saving instruction to pros and amateurs alike.So come along with Buddha and his caddy as they play 18 at the fictitious Enlightenment Golf & Country Club, set in sunny California and learn from a true, proven “Master.”
