Financial expert and passionate golfer Minaz H. Lalani shows how lessons from the course can guide readers to long-term financial success
October 2025 – What do golf and financial planning have in common? According to Minaz H. Lalani, more than you might think. In his debut book, What Golf Can Teach You About Financial Planning: Mastering Your Finances Like You Master Your Swing, Lalani draws compelling parallels between the discipline, strategy, and focus required on the golf course and the skills needed to build lasting financial security.
Lalani is a seasoned actuary, investor, and managing principal of Lalani Consulting Group Inc., with over three decades of experience guiding individuals, businesses, and boards through risk management and wealth-building strategies. Before founding his own firm, he held leadership roles at Towers Perrin (now Willis Towers Watson) and actuarial roles at Canada Life and BUPA in London, England. Lalani has extensive board experience across insurance, healthcare, and capital markets.
Inspired by his midlife passion for golf, Lalani noticed striking similarities between mastering a swing and mastering finances. “Golf has taught me patience, strategy, and mental resilience—qualities that are just as important off the course as they are on it,” Lalani says. “This book is my way of showing that managing money doesn’t have to be intimidating. With the right mindset, it can be as engaging and rewarding as playing a great round of golf.”
What Golf Can Teach You About Financial Planning translates complex financial concepts into relatable, actionable lessons. Readers will learn how to craft a personalized financial game plan, understand their “financial swing,” and avoid hazards both on the course and in their investment portfolios. Each chapter concludes with practical steps that make financial planning clear, approachable, and even enjoyable.
Aimed for adults, professionals, business owners, and golfers of all skill levels, the book combines personal finance, self-improvement, and sports psychology. It appeals to anyone looking to demystify investing, retirement plan, or strengthen their money mindset—especially readers who enjoy learning through practical analogies.
Lalani lives in Calgary, Alberta, where he continues to mentor others while enjoying rounds at Country Hills Golf Club. What Golf Can Teach You About Financial Planning is now available to guide readers toward financial confidence, strategic thinking, and long-term success—both on the course and in life.
