About this audiobook
Join David Cook--world-renowned sports and performance psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author--as he teaches you that in golf and in life, it's time to get out of your own way and let your true self shine.
Based on thousands of athletes Cook has counseled and great mentors and teachers from whom he has learned, Golf's Sacred Journey is told through the lives of two characters--a rancher with a passion for teaching truth and a young golf professional at the end of his rope.
In Golf's Sacred Journey, Cook has compressed his decades of peak performance coaching into a story that will give you the tools you need to:
- Create a meaningful life, both on and off the golf course
- Be yourself amid the competition
- Find what you do well and perfect it
Come alongside Cook as he shows you that in life and on the golf course, we must be willing to coach and be coached--because doing only one will leave us feeling empty.
Praise for Golf's Sacred Journey:
"Dave teaches what I have learned from experience--that trophies do fade and tarnish, but that relationships with God and other people are where we find true meaning and significance in our lives. I know you'll love this book as much as I did. It will give you more enjoyment, confidence, and hope on your journey around the links, and for your journey to eternity."
--Scott Simpson, US Open Champion 1987
"If you read this book, I can assure you that you will finish it a different person than when you started. Find what you do well and perfect it. And most of all, do it with character. Dr. David Cook is a man of character. I have learned from him. You will too."
--Tom Lehman, British Open Champion 1996, US Ryder Cup Captain 2006

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a great "pass-along" book that deals with the mind game as well as the physical game of golf. It is a great story about what is important in life, presented through a fictional (or is it?) story about a frustrated professional golfer who stumbles upon an out-of-the-way golf course and a teaching professional with a lot of wisdom. The story is not all about the inner game though. There is a great mix of life lessons, inner game ideas and a surprise twist related to golf technique. I couldn't put it down.
