Straight Down the Middle: Shivas Irons, Bagger Vance, and How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Golf SwingJosh Karp first played golf in the sixth grade before going on to become one of the worst players on some very bad high school and college golf teams. In his early twenties, his handicap hit 18, where it remained until he went to work on this book, which helped bring it down to 11.

Josh Karp first played golf in the sixth grade before going on to become one of the worst players on some very bad high school and college golf teams. In his early twenties, his handicap hit 18, where it remained until he went to work on this book, which helped bring it down to 11.
In this hilarious memoir, journalist Karp tries it all--from quantum physics to the Feldenkrais Method--in an attempt to transform his mind-set, lower his score, and tap into the mystical connection between golf and spirituality.
Throughout the ages, the arts of Zen and meditation have helped warriors prepare for battle, brought philosophers to enlightenment, and opened the path to inner peace for countless practitioners. Perhaps most important, however, they have allowed golfers to transcend their game and shave precious strokes off their handicap.
Assisted by a quirky roster of Zen-influenced golf masters, this journey of a common man in search of an uncommon kingdom across the fairways of North America (and Scotland, of course ) is funny and enlightening, inspired and frustrating, yet always entertaining.

It's a job but totally worth it
Size: 36 sqft
Pack a lunch when you tackle this project boys.. its a doozy!! Month in going great so far definetly did what I purchased it to do. 2000 chevy with two p3 10s every bass drop sounded like an old firebird with loose trunk bolts. Threw this on the back walls floor underneath the speaker and the doors.. all that energy is now in the cab with me instead of getting lost in rattling metal!! Love it!!! Left a few pieces outside after I was done rained like hell on them so water doesnt hurt this stuff at all or direct sunlight in south mississippi.. good stuff pick this up and make them systems thud instead of rattle!!! You wont regret it!! I didn't!!

Reasonably priced sound deadening
Size: 18 sqft
Easy to cut with a carpet knife. I used a heatgun to make it stickier and more moldable. The foil isn't so thick that you risk cutting yourself like some Dynamat variants.
