Kung Fu Master Lowers Golf Handicaps
PLANT CITY, Fla., May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Martial Arts Champion and golf veteran, Arthur D'Agostino, uses his 40 years of martial arts experience as a training tool out on the green. What separates his Zen on the Green golf training program from the other 22,000 certified instructors from The United States Golf Teachers Federation is his use of Zen meditation.
"Learning to master your mind's ability to focus, and your body's ability to perform and rise to the challenge with unshakeable confidence, are the essential elements to perfecting your game," said D'Agostino.
As a master of Zen martial arts, D'Agostino has competed and won major championships over the years. In 1989, the esteemed athlete ranked number one at the Chinese Martial Arts International Championship in Houston. This honor is the highest given for Kung Fu practitioners in the U.S.
D'Agostino started using his knowledge of eastern, mind-body disciplines and Zen training to excel in golf. Five years ago, he opened Zen on the Green, a golf training program that has given avid golfers and beginners alike, the opportunity to enhance their game.
Brandy Oliver, a health fitness trainer and one of D'Agostino's beginner students, said, "Before my journey into discovering that 'Zen' is possible on the green, I was all over the place. Everyone talks about golf being a mental game, but no one addresses it to really make a difference, like Art. Now, I'm using Zen on the Green techniques to improve my confidence, consistency and accuracy."
More golfers are beginning to take on the challenge of entering the "Zen zone" instead of wasting money and repeating the same classes over and over again. Compared to many existing training methods, Zen on the Green is more effective and less expensive over time. Once a student grasps the concepts taught, they will reach peak performance levels.
The program is located in Plant City, Fla. at the Walden Lake Golf and Country Club. To accommodate students arriving from outside the area, D'Agostino coordinates with hotels and other golf courses to reduce the travel and course expense. Packages include two-day, one-on-one personal training, and can be broken down into single day mini sessions.
