Deepak Chopra has discovered the delights—and frustrations—of golf, and he is passionate about the game. Confronted by the wild ups and downs of his own play, he consulted with golf professionals and developed a new approach to the game that any golfer can follow—from the novice to the expert. The results can be measured not only in increased enjoyment and skill, but also in greater wisdom about life beyond the 18th hole.
Chopra’s own game has improved dramatically since incorporating the elements of his program. Instead of focusing on the mechanics of a “perfect” swing, Chopra reveals how golf can be mastered through mindfulness, a form of awareness that combines sharp focus and relaxation at the same time. Expanded awareness, he tells us, can accomplish much more than external mechanics to improve one’s game.
But Golf for Enlightenment is also an engrossing story about Adam, an Everyman who is playing a terrible round of golf when he meets a mysterious young teaching pro named Leela. In seven short but profound lessons detailing spiritual strategies, she teaches Adam the essence of a game that has much to explain about life itself.

      While golf as a head game is not a new idea, it's never been taught with the deep understanding of the mind-body connection that Chopra brings to this audio. The seven life principles, right out of Chopra's teaching and even more inviting in a golf context, are offered as an allegory that pits a struggling golfer against the things in himself that get in his way on the golf course. His young teaching pro, Leela, offers him guidance that, expressed with Chopra's usual elegance, transforms the overzealous scorekeeper into a person fully connected with the beauty of the game. A seminal resource for anyone who loves the game or is trying to love it and for anyone wanting to love life. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
