Review By John Lynch

Dear Golfer,

Straight Down The Middle By Josh Karp is a wonderful story about a journalist seeking inner peace in his golf - and his life.

The author Josh Karp compares eastern philosophy teachings with whimsical notions of our "instant gratification society" - and explains why most westerners are not "awake" in the Zen sense of things.

Straight Down The Middle is not a book about golf swing theory and will not add to the myriad of swing thoughts we golfers are already paralyzed with.

Straight Down The Middle had me shouting "YES!" as I recognized the mental chatter tormenting Josh Karp (the protagonist in this story) and continues to plague me.

I learned a technique in this book that is working so well in my golf game it's downright spooky! This technique involves true gravity - drawing energy from the earth through your feet and finding your "authentic swing".

Ride along with the author on his incredible journey to find inner peace in his golf game and his life - you may find your handicap dropping as a pleasant result!

Josh Karp first learned to played golf in the 6th grade and became one of the worst players on very bad high school and college golf teams. Josh Karp is a journalist and the author of A Futile and Stupid Gesture. He lives in Glencoe, Illinois, with his wife and four kids.
