The Fairway Manual

This book sets itself apart by offering a unique blend of practical and philosophical guidance designed to help readers not only enjoy but excel in their golf game. It presents a collection of 18 engaging short stories, each loosely connected to the four noble truths of Buddhism and the eightfold path, to help readers learn to overcome life's challenges. This is not a Buddhist book on golf, but this book does utilize the teachings of Eastern philosophy as a framework for universal truth that can improve our quality of life on and off the course. The book also has aspects that tie back to the author's experiences as a youth golfer who hadn't developed these skills yet, which led him to quit the game for 25 years. His personal stories of learning from his transgressions before developing into a happier, more content golfer and person will help readers build the best relationship they've ever had with the game. The primary goal of the book is for the reader to see how using meditation and mindfulness practices on the course can help them be better golfers. Even more so, they can use these lessons off the course to produce the highest quality of happiness and contentment with their lives and the people around them.
