The experience was traumatic and life-changing. The memories haunt every corner of my spiritual game. These are the lessons. Read them at your own peril.

BogeyBob's Zenless Proverbs

No water hazard is an island

Fore is not a number but a state of emptiness

Tee times are an illusion of the universe

Lost ball - all life is bogey-dumb

Sand Traps spelled backwards is sprat dans

Stroke penalties are zen in reverse

No putt breaks uphill, maybe

Lift, clean and place is a state of grace

Toe duck hook is not a hot Korean meal

What is the sound of one fat shot

What is the sound of one hand putting

Drive for show, putt for tao

An empty mind is a calm mind

Yin Yang is not a postable score

Chapman format is not a lip balm

Life without golf is death

Final saying: When the wrong man uses the right means, the right means work in the wrong way

"The Golf of Your Dreams" by Dr. Bob Rotella with Bob Cullen.

"You must commit yourself to a process that will improve your game.

Dr. Bob Rotella, world-renowned performance consultant and sports psychologist, wrote this book for the golfer who is determined to get better but hasn't figured out how to go about it. His previous books focused on the mental aspects of the game. "The Golf of Your Dreams" offers a programmatic guide for lowering your score. Dr. Rotella demonstrates how characteristics such as desire, patience and persistence more than physical talent, enable golfers to dramatically improve their performance. When these characteristics are combined with a proven plan for success, modest talent is more than enough. Simply reading a book or watching a book will not make anyone a better golfer. However, this book will make you keenly aware of what you have to do in order to play the kind of golf you've always sensed you were capable of playing. Davis Love III, Brad Faxton and Tom Kite are a few of the tour players who have used Dr. Rotella's strategies with great success. In this well-written book, Dr. Rotella details how to break old habits and create new ones and to practice efficiently and effectively. Highly recommended by the staff at Bogeybob.
