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.

Great set of stories that ties in many of your favorite charecters
Format: Paperback
A simple yet great set of stories that tie in many of your favorite characters into the Galaxy's Edge/Baatu environment. I am not a huge comic reader, but I did very much enjoy. It is a quick read overall.

Nice backstory to Galaxy's Edge
Format: Paperback
This is a cool book. Just visited Galaxy's Edge recently, so it's fun to see the park and characters represented in comic form.

Great follow up to Empire Strikes Back
Format: Paperback
This series follows the events after Empire Strikes Back and I think it did a great job understanding the kind of realistic struggles the characters went through before Return of the Jedi. From Luke struggling to accept that Vader is his father, to Leia being heartbroken that Han Solo is frozen in carbonite. It was all very entertaining and I of course love the connectivity to other Star Wars stories as well. Great read.

Comic Book to help introduce Star Wars
Format: Paperback
Read this with my 6 yo son. He loved the art, loved the story, didn’t want to put it down. I felt like he was really engaged in this story because of the visuals. He wanted to know more about each character as they were introduced.
