 #74: [Inside the Mind] Dr. Joseph Parent: Unconditional Confidence, Remaining on the Offensive, and How to Go Low with the PAR Method In this powerful and enlightening episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Joseph Parent, author of Zen Golf and one of the most respected minds in golf psychology.  Together, we break down the mental collapse Rory McIlroy experienced at Augusta, why players in the lead shift from offensive to defensive mindsets, and how to overcome the urge to “protect” a lead that doesn't actually exist. Dr. Parent unpacks the roots of time-traveling thoughts, teaches how to return to presence with the “Love the Way It Leaves” mindset, and shares his proven PAR method: Preparation, Action, and Response to Results.  In today's episode, you'll learn: Why shifting from offensive to defensive play derails your round How “protecting a lead” is a mental trap What real focus and commitment look like on a shot How to let go of the past (and future) and return to presence Why most players collapse in Amen Corner — and how to prevent it The PAR method to respond to good and bad shots alike How to build unconditional confidence regardless of current performance Whether you're a 20 handicap or chasing scratch, this episode will radically shift how you view confidence, pressure, and progress. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.

Treat each one with the same intention. Offense wins in golf. Shifting to “protect” a score leads to tentative swings and poor decisions. Commitment is clarity. A vague shot plan leads to vague swings. Clear images = clear results. Most bad shots stem from mental interference, not swing flaws — especially under pressure. Return to presence by letting go. Your body is always here. It's your mind that time travels. “Love the way it leaves.” Focus on your process, not the outcome. Unconditional confidence means trusting your skills even when results aren't there yet. Key Quotes: “You're not holding the lead. You're just holding onto an idea that doesn't exist yet.” “Golfers say, ‘If I can just par in…' — that's when the mind shifts into protection mode and everything tightens.” “A vague image produces a vague swing. Clarity of image is clarity of action.” “If you're not present on 15, your body's already in the bar on 19.” “You never calm up. You calm down. So stop trying to be up-tight and start getting down-settled.” “Focus on loving the way it leaves. That's all you can control.” “When you're out of your own way, your true skill level shows up.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Rory McIlroy's Performance at the Masters 09:07: The Defensive Mindset in Golf 14:01: Maintaining an Offensive Mindset 19:00: Being Present in the Moment 23:09: Caveman Lessons: The Roots of Fear and Awareness 26:04: The PAR Approach: Preparation, Action, and Response 30:20: Focusing on Process Over Outcome 32:33: Understanding Unconditional Confidence 35:15: Cultivating Unconditional Confidence 38:41: Practicing Mindfulness Off the Course 42:30: Common Misconceptions About Mindfulness 44:32: The Billboard Message: Take Golf Seriously, Not Yourself 45:37: Patience and Humor in the Journey to Improvement

Tiger Woods is, and was, one of a kind in many ways. His dominance earlier in his career was unlike any most of us have ever seen in the game of golf. He was a generational talent. So why do we always try to compare the latest winning golfers to Tiger? It's an exercise which needs to end for a lot of reasons... All that, and more, on the latest Fairways & Dreams podcast with host Jeff Hartman as he talks about this, the Zen Golf book study, and the latest odds for the Wells Fargo Championship this weekend.

The game of golf is a lot of things, but accessible might not be one to describe it. In fact, while those in leadership roles in the game say the game is more accessible as ever, other facets don't add up. For instance, why is this game so flipping expensive?! That is the topic on the latest Fairways & Dreams podcast with Jeff Hartman as he talks about that, the upcoming PGA Tour event, and the latest in the Zen Golf book study.

In case you haven't noticed, there is a youth movement happening in the game of golf. How serious is this youth movement? Did you see the 15 year old who finished 20th in a Korn Ferry Tour event? Yeah, it's that serious. The youth movement is underway, and that is one of the many topics of discussion on the latest Fairways & Dreams podcast with host Jeff Hartman. Also discussed are the two most dominant professional golfers on their respective tours, the latest odds on the upcoming tournament on tour, and of course the continued book study on Zen Golf.

Dr. Joe Parent published Zen Golf in 2002, a book that is packed with East-meets-West philosophy of how to master the mental game in golf. The book was instantly endorsed by two of Dr. Joe's students, Vijay Singh and Christie Kerr, who each became the number 1 ranked golfer in the world, and was a definitive guide for golfers at every level. Dr. Joe is a pioneer in the mental game conversation, and has since inspired work by many coaches to follow. What's more, his gentle, calming spirit is infectious, and Bradford and Connor each leave this session having learned a bit more about their own sensory proclivities.  In this session: ageism, identifying your senses, BMW golf.  As always, thanks for listening to Group Golf Therapy! #mindyourgolf Please subscribe, rate our podcast, and leave a review—we're always looking to deliver a great show to you.

I don't know about you, but my mind loves to wander on the golf course. While meditation and other mindfulness techniques have helped, it's still something I must focus on during the round.   To play your best golf, you need to put a leash on your mind (metaphorically speaking) so you can focus on one thing only—the present moment. You will never play your best golf if you dwell on bad shots you hit earlier in the day or get anxious about upcoming shots in the current round. As Dr. Joseph Parent said in Zen Golf, “The past is history, the future is a mystery, being alive in this moment is a gift. That's why they call it the present.” You can't change the past and the future hasn't happened yet. Focus 100% of your attention on the present moment to give yourself the best chance to hit a good shot. Another easy trick to stay present is to wear a rubber band on your wrist. Anytime you look back to a putt you wish you made or a future shot you're anxious about hitting, snap it. This is another great trick I learned from a sports psychologist that has done wonders for me on the golf course.  As I like to say, snap back to reality!  Over time, this will train your mind to stay more focused on the present moment and not drift to the past or future. Always remember, golf is one shot at a time - don't get ahead of yourself.

How much do we take for granted in our own lives? In what way does this cross over to our golf? The dramatic impact of self talk Changing the definition of a ‘good shot' Why the perception of what makes a ‘good day' can make us so unhappy What perspective do we have on poor shots? How do we view the opportunity to play? What about the golf course itself? Do we view the course as an invitation to experience the possibility of expressing our skills or do we see the course as being something of a ‘war zone' where are own sense of self is brought into question? How does the golf course want to RECEIVE your shots? The ‘don't know' mindset Be CURIOIUS instead of afraid The Zen of better putting How you can make EVERY putt Why it is so important to ‘begin with the end in mind' The ultimate ATTITUDE to bring to your putting ‘Hit it where the putter is pointing'Love the way the ball leaves the putter LEARNING from every putt A really tremendous conversation with a legendary performance coach.

In this episode I share  my thoughts on a Zen Golf mindset as well as a Book of the same name written by Dr. Joseph Parent.   When will we finally agree that Daylight Savings time All Year will make most of us happier.A South Carolina Officer of the law that traded tickets for a tickle. Yet another cheating scandal in the growing sport of Corn Hole.Ya cant make this sh*t up!

Zen Golf, written by Dr. Joseph Parent, is one of my favorite golf books. If you want to take your game to the next level, this book can help tremendously. Dr. Parent uses a simple approach to help you hack your mind for lower scores and hopefully, more consistent results. It seems like every golfer I ask always says they want a more "consistent" score. The key to getting this type of consistency isn't from making more swing changes or buying more equipment. It's learning how to use your mind for more efficient and consistent results.  Related Programs to Help Your Golf Game  Mental Golf Type - The #1 way to master your mental game DECADE Golf - The #1 course management system to lower your score  Look and Shoot Putting - The best way to make more putts (without more practice)  >>>Learn more about Look and Shoot Putting System Today!  >>> Click the link to take your FREE personality test now!

"The reward of writing a book is not seeing your book in a book store. The reward is in the process." https://golfyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/IMG_4575.jpeg ()   Jeff Wallach Novelist, Journalist, Entrepreneur...and Patron Saint of Zen Golfers Worldwide Portland, Oregon   Jeff Wallach is an award-winning journalist and the author of four books of non-fiction, two novels, and nearly 1,000 articles, essays, and reviews for dozens of national publications including The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Men's Journal, Money Magazine, Health, Men's Fitness, and many others.   Show Highlights In this rambling, fun-filled conversation...not fueled by adult beverages or other stimulants... Jeff discusses: Never-before told secrets regarding his personal backgroundhttps://golfyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/IMG_1396-e1312238994923-225x300.jpg () What it really takes to succeed as a freelance journalist Why and how he transitioned from journalist to novelist The sad truth behind golf course ratings and rankings Why he hates BOTH sides of the LIV Golf battle with the PGA The connection between playing golf and living a Zen life   Notable Quotes:  On becoming a freelance journalist today: “Being a good writer is the baseline requirement. What an editor wants from a freelancer is ideas that no one else has brought them." On the (relatively) greater number of coeds at Vassar: "It didn't factor into my school selection process, but I sure was happy when I got there." On why he left journalism: “At the height of my career a magazine might pay me $4 a word for a 2,000 word story...By the end of my career, thanks to the internet...they might pay 50 cent a word, and the stories were 600 words long, because people now have a shorter attention span." On rankings of golf courses: "It's all political..People buy the influence to get on those lists. The people who are raters are not reliable sources in many cases, not in all cases, to be reviewing these golf courses and giving them a rating." https://golfyeah.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/P4290717.jpg () On would-be novelists: "Anybody can write a book. Whether it's going to make money I can't answer. People say to me, "I have a great idea for a novel." I ask them, "How many pages have you written?" And they mostly say, "Oh, I haven't started writing it yet." On the Zen / Golf connection: “Zen is a way of seeing the world, and any activity you pursue could be an avenue for viewing the world in that way….for me that avenue just happened to be golf. It could have been something else. Golf, in particular, because it's a solitary sport, lends you to that type of inward exploration and application to the world outside you." On golf trips to other countries: "If you go on trip that only cover the trophy courses, you miss part of the point, which is to see what golf is like in another country for the people who live there." On golf balls: "They produce 4 billion golf balls every year. You would think that driving down the highway you would see piles of golf balls. Where are all these golf balls?" On his demeanor: "I'm a cranky old man, and I apologize for it…but I'm cranky with good intentions."   A Few of Jeff Wallach's Books https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Fairway-Lessons-Insights-Attitudes/dp/0553373331/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2908HJMZLAS78&keywords=jeff+wallach&qid=1661824671&s=books&sprefix=jeff+wallack%2Cstripbooks%2C103&sr=1-3 ()                 https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Wizard-Novel-Jeff-Wallach/dp/1948598302/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2908HJMZLAS78&keywords=jeff+wallach&qid=1661824930&s=books&sprefix=jeff+wallack%2Cstripbooks%2C103&sr=1-2 ()                ...

Have you ever searched for help with the mental side of your golf game? I've always been a big fan of books that are aimed at sharpening these tools - Zen Golf, Golf is Not a Game of Perfect, and even Golf in the Kingdom come to mind. Those reads and many more have shaped how I view a round of golf. I've also found that using meditation apps like Calm has been a great help in building a positive mindset in my everyday life. All of this is why I was so excited to hear about a new app that combines those approaches for golfers. It's called Imagine Golf and my friend Malcolm Scovil is the founder.  Imagine Golf creates a moving listening experience as a way to help subscribers improve their mental game on and off the golf course. Malcolm and I connected when he was getting Imagine Golf up off the ground and I've enjoyed working with him to produce a few of my stories for the app. Since then, I've become a subscriber to Imagine Golf and have deeply enjoyed the daily mental lessons. Not only do they help me play better golf, but they also have brought me some clarity to other corners of my mind.   Malcolm and I have expanded our working relationship of late and Imagine Golf is now the sponsor of Mid-Am Crisis. I've loved getting to know him and his team and each time we talk reveals a new and interesting story about golf and life.

I have known Marcus Bell a long time and it is always wonderful to chat with him about his approach to developing the game of golf. Marcus is a deep thinker and I know that you will find a tremendous benefit from listening today to some of his ideas. Marcus is Director of Coaching for ZEN Golf and a PGA Professional for over 20 years. His non-linear style of coaching is gaining wide recognition through his fast growing You Tube Channel ZEN Golf Mechanic. The results speak for themselves with a new student's lesson being posted each week showing huge improvements in performance for players of all abilities and aspirations. Marcus has a Masters degree in Sports Biomechanics and has conducted and consulted in many research studies in golf, particularly with 3D and forceplate technologies. These studies have focused primarily on lower body mechanics and their effect on full body kinematics and kinetics. It is this research that has supported the development of this full swing coaching application that we recognise as ZEN Golf Mechanics where ecological psychology meets sports biomechanics to foster optimal skill acquisition. For information on lessons please follow the link.... https://zengolfmechanics.youbookappointments.co.uk/ Marcus shares his incredible background in the game of golf and the people who have helped him along the way develop as a golf coach. This hugely reinforced a key theme of the Brain Booster. The importance of others and the people you surround yourself with. Who are you learning from? Who are your influences? What are you prepared to do to improve both as a player and as a coach? During the session together Marcus discussed his ideas around how movement is generated. How it is much more natural than we might think. How we often get in the way of this natural motion. And more importantly what you can do to reconnect with it. TAKE ACTION: To Join us for the Mind Factor Mindfulness Certification course, go to https://themindfactor.net/product/mind-factor-mindfulness-practitioner-certification/    

Over the past number of weeks on the Brain Booster we have had a reoccurring theme. That of ACCEPTANCE. Steven Yellin mentioned it as a pre requisite for the emergence of fluid motion. Dr Joe Parent mentioned it as a requirement to experience Zen Golf. I wanted today then to take the opportunity to dive deeper into what acceptance is and perhaps more importantly what it isn’t.   So much of the benefits of acceptance are paradoxical in nature.   We need to be careful we don’t confuse acceptance with resignation. We are also not in any way saying acceptance is not about aiming for good results.   The Brain Booster is all about performance.   What I do firmly believe is that acceptance can be a ‘reverse engineering’ of results. It can actually provide you with the environment whereby results emerge.   In today’s show I look at how acceptance can actually help you to swing the club better   Get more from your coaching   Develop other areas of your life with acceptance   How acceptance leads to ACTION   How you create true freedom   Hopefully today’s show brings together lots of the key concepts we have been discussing for many months on the Brain Booster Acceptance needs commitment and DAILY intention It is really beneficial to create accountability with a coach or mentor   Do you want to become a Certified Mind Factor coach?

Today we joined on the Brain Booster by Dr Joe Parent. He is the author of one of the most successful mental game books of all time. Zen Golf was published over twenty years ago and still continues to sell worldwide. A new generation of players are enjoying a book published well before they were born! I had a great conversation with Dr Joe about the origins of the book and the influences he has had to his work. Joe teaches from a Buddhist philosophy applied to golf. The principles of mindfulness, meditation and awareness are key factors to his work. The great aspect to his teaching is he clearly comes from a practical and applied background. All of his ideas have been tested in the laboratory of real life. Out on the golf course, in the boardroom, real life experience not just theory. We got the chance to discuss his work with Vijay Singh and the journey to World No 1 when the game of golf was being totally dominated by Tiger Woods. What Vijay applied from the book that made such a difference to his game. How many of the key principles of mindfulness can be so helpful to your game? This is fundamental wisdom that has been around for many thousands of years but often ignored in the modern world of complexity for complexity sake. Why there is still a reluctance to look at the mental game and how it is too easy to blame all bad shots on your technique when in fact the ‘state’ you are in does not ALLOW you to access the swing you already have. The concept of ‘being present’ sounds so simple yet so few really understand what it actually means. Joe talks about specific ways to BE on a golf course. The opportunity golf gives us to learn so much about ourselves. How the breath is one of the single most potent areas of focus to release your performance. It was a delight to speak to Dr Joe. His wisdom will make a difference to your game.

Wir Golfer kennen das Gefühl. Wir gehen auf den Platz und wollen wissen, ob die Trainingsessions nun endlich den erwünschten Erfolg bringen - endlich das Handicap unterspielen. Da beginnt man zu rechnen, jeder Schlag könnte der entscheidende sein und alles drumherum wird analysiert. Siehst du dich selbst in solch einer Situation wider? Wir alle kennen es. Daher diese Podcastfolge. Spiele erwartungslos Golf und du wirst sehen, dein Score wird besser. Erwartungslos Golfen können wir alle. Höre direkt rein. Was ist aber nun erwartungsfreies Golfen und wie kannst du es für dich umsetzen? Da muss ich ganz ehrlich zu dir sein. Das Konzept dahinter ist natürlich nicht neu. Zuerst haben ich es im Buch Zen-Golf von Joseph Parent (https://amzn.to/32WRjMS *) kennengelernt. Wieder aufgegriffen habe ich es im aktuellen Buch von Fabian Bünker - Der Handicapverbesserer (https://mygolfblog.de/hcpbuch *). Das gibt es übrigens kostenlos, du musst nur die Versandkosten selbst übernehmen. Auf jedenfall habe ich diese Art des Golfen tatsächlich für mich entdeckt. Jeder Golfer sollte aufhören sich über Schläge zu ärgern, die nicht so gelungen sind. Der nächste Schlag wird besser und Hauptsache dein Schlag bringt den Ball etwas näher an die Fahne. Erwarte immer genau das, was du auch erwarten kannst von dir. Höre auf Schläge von dir zu verlangen, die kaum ein Tourspieler regelmäßig und sauber ausführt. Erwarte von dir, dass du dein Golfspiel so spielst, wie es zu deinen Fähigkeiten passt. Dazu passt es sicherlich auch den Ball auch vorzulegen, anstatt immer anzugreifen und regelmäßig Strafschläge zu kassieren. Geh auf den Platz und genieße deine freie Zeit. Dafür ist Golf da. Genieße diese Stunden und lass sie dir nicht von unsinnigen Gedanken und kaum zu erfüllenden Erwartungen kaputt machen. Wenn du noch mehr über die mentale Seite von Golf erfahren möchtest, schau mal hier nach: - https://www.minimizeyouhandicap.de - Golf in Leicht: https://mygolfblog.de/golfinleicht * - Zen Golf: https://amzn.to/32WRjMS * - Fabian Bünker im MyGolfBlog-Podcast: https://mygolfblog.de/my-golf-blog-podcast-folge-044/ Hast du einen Tipp, der unbedingt anderen Golfern gezeigt werden muss?

Today on the show we have someone who holds the unique distinction of coaching both a man (Vijay Singh) and a woman (Christie Kerr) to #1 in the World Golf Ranking. Golf Digest magazine honored him in their list of "Top Mental Game Experts in the World" and he is the best selling author (over a million copies worldwide) of Zen Golf (among other books).He has over 40 years of experience at getting people "out of their own way" and we take a swing at all of the following (and much more):- Dr. Joe tells us what mindfulness means to him - The importance of HUMOR in our mindfulness practice- Why presence (not distraction) is our DEFAULT mode (and how we can get back to that mode more often)- Why it is SO important in golf and life to detach from things going a particular way- Why we need to learn to "give ourselves room to grow" in both golf and life- Why we need to treat ourselves more like we treat our friends and "ditch the evil caddy"- How we can move from a "poverty mentality" to our natural state of "basic goodness"- How we can go about attaining "unconditional confidence"- His famous "STOP, DROP and BREATHE" technique to get out of our heads and back into our bodies- How we can use "signals" to practice mindfulness throughout the entire day- How we can bounce back from an atrocious performance on the course or in any area of our lifeWithout a doubt, you should get a ton of value from this one (as well as perhaps lower the handicap!)So sit down, take a few DEEP breaths and Slow Down, Man... Enjoy!Dr. Joe has a TON of content on his website at www.drjoeparent.com as well as hosts weekly FREE Zoom guided mindfulness sessionsAlso be sure to check out his Youtube channel where you can find a collection of all of his past guided Zoom sessions (and more)Are you a golfer?

Dr. Joe Parent is a Sports Psychologist, working with players on the PGA & LPGA Tours, and an Author. He's written several fantastic books about the mental side of the game including "Zen Golf", "Zen Putting" and "Golf, the Art of the Mental Game". His latest book about mindfulness titled, "A Walk in the Wood". Doc shares his insights into how to stay in the present and keep our minds from time traveling back to the bad shots we've hit or projecting forward into what we're on pace to score today if we just made X on the next few holes.

2011 US Senior Open Champion Olin Browne, Golf Positive Founder Debbie O'Connell, the Author of Zen Golf & Zen Putting Dr. Joe Parent, plus long lost cousin and PGA Professional John Mascari Join Me. I'll get Olin's thoughts on the PGA Tour Champions season restarting and what he expects the rest of the season to be like. We'll also talk about the 59 he shot while qualifying for the 2005 US Open. I'll talk with Debbie O'Connell about the mental game and how to keep a positive mindset on the course after we've hit a couple of wayward shots. I'll delve deeper into the mind and mental game with Dr. Joe Parent. We'll talk about Mindfulness and how to not get ahead of ourselves when we're on the cusp of a great round.. Then I'll round out the show with Cousin John and we'll talk about his stay at home series "Tips from John's Backyard" and what piece of new technology that he's excited to use when he can get back out on the course.

Dr. Joe Parent, friend of the society and author of Zen Golf: Mastering The Mental Game, helps us get through these uncertain times through mindfulness, breath, and meditation. Take a listen to a thoughtful conversation on how to stay obsessed with golf and navigate a pandemic. Zen Golf | https://www.zengolf.com/ NewClub Golf Society | https://www.newclub.golf

In this episode of the Better Golf Academy, I discuss why it is so important in golf to be in the moment. I truly believe in order to conquer this game to play our very best, we have to control our thoughts. It’s really true what they say, this game is 90% mental and 10% mental. And I so much believe that if we get this part right, it can really change our game. Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment. Is this easy to do?  It’s Not Easy No one said it was easy. Staying focus and not allowing your mind to wander is not easy. It takes discipline. It takes practice like everything else. And most of all it takes confidence. What do you mean by confidence? It takes confidence to know and believe and have a conviction that this really works. And, thinking back...I was teeter-tottering. I didn’t think seriously enough about it. Maybe, even though I preach it, I didn’t entirely believe it. I was thinking that if I had the physical talent and ability to shoot well, that I would automatically shoot well and the score will show it at the end of the day. NOT. It takes mental discipline every hole, every shot. Full focus. Being in the moment.  It’s a Journey How do we get there? I am not there yet. Obviously. But, I believe our pursuit of getting there is the goal, not just getting there. Okay, this reminds me of a quote, I know...sometimes introducing quotes in a podcast is a bit cliche-ish and corny but I think this really applies to what we are talking about today.  “Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome”.  This quote is by Arthur Ashe. Who is Arthur Ashe? He was an American Professional tennis player who won 3 grand slam titles. He was the first black player selected to the US Davis Cup team and the only black man ever to win the singles title at Wimbledon, The US Open and the Australian Open. He was also an author and mostly known for being a crusader for equality. He really lived with intention and impact. So, for me, I can look at this event as a total failure. Which, I actually called it that on my dreadful drive back home in my head. But, nah...I don’t believe that anymore. It’s all part of the journey and it’s never about the outcome, or the end result, or the certificate, or whatever's in your life...I truly believe it’s about our attitude, discipline, will and our struggle and fight in getting there. Look Up When I started my podcast, my friend Charlton messaged me and said dude, this podcast is for me. I am your poster child. Do you know how many books I’ve read on golf? Every single one. Do you know how many videos I’ve watched? Workshops I’ve attended? He’s a learner. A seeker who’s hungry for knowledge, a true student of the game. When we are playing golf together several months back, I asked him, hey...just curious, from all the books you’ve read, videos you’ve watched and the workshops and lessons you’ve received, what’s the one thing, one main thing that has impacted you the most in your game? He said. “Look up” huh? So, I went home and looked it up. Yeah, the book Zen Golf talks about the expansive awareness. It’s a practice of Mindfulness. “When you have a difficult tee shot or short putt and you are waiting your turn, it’s not very helpful to stare at it, think about it, and let your mind get very small...instead, look up and breathe out, opening to the awareness around you. He says “in life..as in golf, you give it your best shot when you’re free of tension and self-consciousness.” In life as in golf...lol. That’s my line.  Summary: So, here’s the deal. It’s not easy. It’s a journey and you gotta remember to look up. Take a breath. Don’t get stuck on the small stuff. Be grateful. You are out here, on a beautiful day, on this beautiful course, with awesome people, playing golf. Look up. Enjoy. Have Fun. And be in the moment.

Dr Joe Parent Mental Game expert and the author of Zen Golf joins us for episode 153 of Breaking Par with Bernard Sheridan. Golf Digest magazine named Dr. Joe to their list of “Top Ten Mental Game Experts” in the world, and made him a featured teacher in their popular instructional section, “Breaking 100, 90, 80, and 70.” His lesson articles appear in many major golf magazines around the world, and he is a regular "go to" guest for national television, radio, and print media. His first book, the #1 best-seller ZEN GOLF: Mastering the Mental Game, is now in its 21st printing, with more than a half-million copies sold world-wide, including foreign editions in nine languages. Vijay Singh, the world’s #1-ranked golfer in 2004-2005, said, “Dr. Parent has been a great influence on my mental game. ZEN GOLF is the best book at connecting golf and the mind together. It’s for everyone, it really helps, and you’re really going to enjoy it.” Golf Digest reviewers say, “Here is a book that is highly original and exciting, destined to become a classic. Dr. Parent is a groundbreaking writer.”  Dr Parent has coached Performance Psychology for business, life and golf for over 30 years. After completing his Ph.D. in psychology in 1979, Dr. Joe trained in the tradition of mindful awareness practice, developing a unique blend of modern western psychology and venerable eastern wisdom for stress management and skill development. He has become a renowned and sought-after consultant teaching the path to success through peak performance principles. His simple yet powerful techniques help people get out of their own way so they can get the most out of their abilities. He shares his insight into the mental game with us in this interview. To get Dr. Parents book or find out more about his work contact him at -http://www.zengolf.com/

On this edition of Next on the Tee my guests are: the author of Zen Golf, Zen Putting, How to Make Every Putt, and the Best Diet Book Ever, Dr. Joe Parent; Drew Dunn, Head Golf Pro at East Lake Golf Club, the home of Bobby Jones and the Tour Championship; the Founder and Inventor of Pine Valley Orthotics, Stuart Sackowitz. Dr. Joe Parent - Doc started out talking about diets and what causes us to gain weight. He calls them the 3 Too's: we eat too much, too fast for too long. To remedy that we need the 3 S's: east smaller portions, more slowly, and stopping earlier. We transitioned over to talking about how to make more putts and the difference between making a putt and holing a putt. We talked about the mental side of the game and all the negative talk we do to ourselves. He said we could play better if we'd just get out of our own way. "You can't hit it straight if you're bent out of shape." Drew Dunn - Drew took us through the rich history of the land that East Lake is built on. Even though it's 5 miles outside of Atlanta, back in the early 1900s it was considered to be a vacation getaway spot for Atlantans. He talked about feeling the history of the people who once walked their fairways and what it's like hosting the Tour Championship there every year. Stuart Sackowitz - Stuart talked about what make his new orthotics so much better than any others on the market. They are designed to help golfers get a more full turn and weight transfer because of a 2 degree pitch he built into them. Their energy return system in the heels push back as you step to help you walk and feel less fatigued. They are perfect for not only golfers but anyone on their feet all day. They can also help if you're dealing with specific things like: heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, archilles issues, flat feet and pronation. Check them out at www.pinevalleyorthotics.com
