Publisher's summary
The author of the thought-provoking book I've Decided to Live 120 Years and founder of Body & Brain Yoga demonstrates how mind and body training can help you upgrade your game and enjoy a lifetime of golf.
Do you watch endless golf videos on YouTube, spend hours grinding on the practice range, or pay for expensive lessons, but see limited improvement in your game?
Does your body limit the progress you can make, do you frequently find yourself filled with frustration on the course, or are you considering dropping golf because of your age?
Ilchi Lee, the renowned meditation expert who globalized Korea's ancient mind-body practice and who's also an avid golfer, suggests a completely new approach to help you transcend these common golfing problems. Rather than focusing on the latest swing techniques and tricks, enhance your mind and body connection. If you're looking to turn your golf knowledge into greater ability on the course, upgrading your mind and body connection is sure to bring results.
Learn golf qigong, golf meridian exercises, as well as breathing and meditation methods to help you develop a subtler, richer feel for your game along with greater strength and balance. Lee's captivating stories and proven mind-body techniques will inspire you to see a new way to play with greater fulfillment and less stress. You'll be surprised to discover how much this new perspective can change the way you swing a golf club, and how much more confident and gratified you'll feel doing it.
This book is for dedicated golfers who consider the sport a tool for lifelong self-development, rather than just a fun hobby. With captivating stories and proven mind-body techniques, The 100-Year Golfer helps you understand how to tap into the greater depth and potential of the golf game, now and for years to come.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Famous three-time Grand Slam winner Arthur Ashe pointed out that many in sports fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”. Athletes on any level can experience the pain of overthinking and sabotaging their performance. Blame many traditional methods of teaching and training. How can we train smarter, not harder? If only our body and mind could perform in a way that’s more natural and instinctive. The best athletes have this quality, but many feel it is simply unattainable for them. I assure you it is not.

As coaches to some of golf's top players, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott have designed and refined a revolutionary way of teaching the game, with great results. They don't believe in prescribing the same stance, grip, and swing to everyone, followed by hours of purposeless drilling. They don't even believe in beginning with physical technique.

Every Shot Must Have a Purpose offers cutting-edge techniques for integrating the physical, technical, mental, emotional, and social parts of a player's game.

Story
Famous three-time Grand Slam winner Arthur Ashe pointed out that many in sports fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”. Athletes on any level can experience the pain of overthinking and sabotaging their performance. Blame many traditional methods of teaching and training. How can we train smarter, not harder? If only our body and mind could perform in a way that’s more natural and instinctive. The best athletes have this quality, but many feel it is simply unattainable for them. I assure you it is not.

Story
What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should.

So much more than Golf!
I personally have only dabbled in golf as a physical education instructor. I have played other sports growing up and as an adult. I can see how the underlying principles can be applied to any activity and more importantly life.
Shortly into the book, every time I heard golf, my mind interpreted it as life. I felt my mind opening.
I am so grateful for this book! I am particularly moved by the notion of earth citizens. I will choose and act to live this way! Thank you!

Inspired to golf again
I picked up golf for the first time in 2020 at the urging of a friend who loved the game. I enjoyed the experience of being outdoors, walking the greens and spending time on the course with others. But I was discouraged as a beginner with what seemed like the amount of time I would need to dedicate to practice if I wanted to be decent at the game. Reading this book helped me see I have 55 years to get decent at it, and I just need to relax and enjoy the experience! I can't wait to get to the driving range!

Taking up golf again after thirty years
I grew up around golf in Scotland and most of my family play regularly and love it. This book has given me some new ideas about how to focus, relax and enjoy playing. After trying out some of the seven arts exercises, I committed to starting golf again in small ways enough to play a round with my sister!
