Will we ever master the physical aspects of golf?

Or is it time to realize that, were we to become masters of the mental side of the game, this may not be necessary.

The Golfer's reality on the course is a reflection of the quality of mind he carries within; the precision and skill of his game, a translation of the stillness and focus inside.

The greatest golfers emerge not just because of their technical skills but from the strength of their mind. Many of them consciously or unconsciously use techniques and tools perfected over time by masters, developing the ability to stay 'still' despite the challenges they face in one of the world's most accurate sports.

Undeniably, Golf is a metaphor for 'Life' and many self questioning thoughts that every golfer struggles with reflect their performance not just as a golfer, but also in the game of life.


The Art of Living

Today, 'Art of Living' workshops have touched millions of people in almost 150 countries around the world.

Now, an 'Art of Living' retreat for golfers that draws upon a perfection of wisdom and technique.

Using rhythmic breathing that takes one into deep states of rest and relaxation, combined with yogic exercises and practical knowledge on understanding mind and emotion, the workshops impact the game of the practitioner powerfully, reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing alertness and awareness, improving health and energy, heightening enthusiasm and creativity and developing the sense of guiding intuition.

The result: an inner calmness and an ability to stay still in the face of the most difficult challenges.

The 'Spirit of Golf'

Gokarna Forest's 'Spirit of Golf' retreat is a treasured experience that combines newly learned knowledge and control with eighteen hole rounds of golf at the foothills of the Himalayas. Each evening ends magically with soul-stirring music in an East-West fusion of sounds.
