Throughout the ages, the ancient arts of
Zen and meditation have helped warriors
prepare for battle, brought philosophers
to enlightenment, and opened the path
to inner peace for countless practitioners.
Perhaps most importantly, however, these
practices have allowed golfers to transcend
their game and shave precious strokes
off their handicaps.
In this hilarious memoir, journalist
and former-18-handicap Josh Karp tries
it all—from quantum physics to Feldenkrais—
in an attempt to transform his
mindset, lower his score, and tap into the
mystical connection between golf and
spirituality. Assisted by a quirky roster of
Zen-influenced golf masters, Karp's unique
experiences across the fairways of North
America (and Scotland, of course!) are
as funny as they are enlightening. Straight
Down the Middle chronicles the lessons
learned during the inspired, at times
frustrating, but always entertaining, journey
of a common man in search of an
uncommon kingdom.
