Straight Down the Middle: Meditations for Golfers | John Hunt Publishing

A fresh blend of golf stories and bite-sized meditations

Straight Down the Middle: Meditations for Golfers from John Hunt Publishing invites you to explore how a round can mirror daily life. In a thoughtful four-course format, each day pairs a lively golf anecdote with a concise meditation, inviting you to slow down, breathe, and observe thoughts as they arise on the fairway and beyond.

What makes this book stand out is its conversational tone and practical pacing. The author’s voice feels like two golfing buddies sharing a quiet laugh on the range, turning familiar routines into mindful moments. The four-course arc provides a steady rhythm that fits into busy schedules, whether you’re stepping onto the first tee at dawn or winding down after a late practice session.
