Summary

Zokology isn't just a book about golf. It's about learning to think when the way you've always thought is no longer working. And for Dick Zokol, that meant learning how to navigate the noise in his head and figuring out how to survive on the PGA Tour

Zokol's Cinderella story began when he "walked on" the Brigham Young University golf team. Four years later, he captained BYU to victory in the NCAA championship. Later that summer, he won the Canadian Amateur and got through the notorious PGA Tour Q-School. But the fairy tale ended, and Zokol struggled as a rookie on the PGA Tour. Dealing with intense anxiety, expectations, and feeling he didn't belong, he battled the loneliness of life on the road. He was soon desperately searching for something that would help him find solid ground. From here, Zokol opens up about the real stuff—the mental and emotional toil that defined his twenty-two years on the PGA Tour. His two wins on the PGA Tour, both in 1992, were evidence his path had taken hold.

In his career, Zokol played over 450 Tour events and learned success wasn't about the golf swing—success and failure are about your mind. Employing a thought protocol can get you through those difficult situations. Zokology is raw, real, and sometimes uncomfortable. It's a guide for when you get off track—on the course or just in your own mind.
