Synopsis

If you're like most golfers, you're always looking for new ways to improve your game. Now, with this book, you can benefit from a revolutionary new golf program pioneered by PGA professional Ted Kiegiel. He's not your ordinary golfer―in fact, he is a master-level martial arts instructor who holds advanced black belts in several different Asian systems. Kiegel's study of martial arts over the past two decades has given him original insights into golf, making him a rare breed among top instructors in golf today. He has developed a system that emphasizes simple, natural movements that much of today's training obscures and a keen mental edge that one can get only from looking to the East. Balanced Golf puts traditional methods into a new and revelatory light―and turns them upside down when necessary. For instance, Eastern teaching shows that the old adages about keeping your head fixed and left arm rigid are, in more cases than not, counterproductive. The natural law of the ancient arts, which includes elements such as ki, joint rounding, yin and yang, body alignments, and earth power, shows the way to a more balanced, natural game. And the beauty of Kiegel's approach is that these natural movements are already in the possession of anyone who wants to unlock his or her true potential. That means you! From setup through finish, Balanced Golf shows clearly and compellingly how martial arts principles can―and will―improve your all-around game. Ted Kiegiel holds black belts in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean martial arts systems. He was a golf professional at the Augusta National Golf Club―home of the Masters Tournament―for eight years. Now he is the head golf professional at the Carolina Country Club in Raleigh, North Carolina. Peter F. Stevens is a journalist and historian and the author of Links Lore. His golf-related articles have appeared in Golf magazine and Golf Journal.
