The founders of the world-renowned VISION54 training program and the authors of the bestselling Every Shot Must Have a Purpose take golf instruction to the next level in this groundbreaking new approach to mastering the game. Golf is a beloved yet technical game, so a sound swing and precise technique are essential. Most golfers who want to improve their skills go to the range and work painstakingly on their swings, not realizing it's often their performance state on the course that needs work, not their technique. Simple things such as awareness of your balance, tension, and tempo, as well as the ability to control mental, emotional, and social variables you encounter while playing can quickly take your game to a new performance level. Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott, founders of VISION54's groundbreaking and innovative golf program are here to help. Aimed at both the weekend golfer and the advanced player, each chapter presents a series of "human skills"--including assignments, explorations, and mini-lessons--that strip away the complexity surrounding swing technique and playing consistency--the conditional variations that plague golfers. Be A Player is the must-have book for any golfer who wants to unite technical skills and on-course performance seamlessly and effectively. With this cutting-edge text by your side, you will become a true student of VISION54 and a better player better on the course...where it matters most
Best golf psychology book ever. Supremely sensible.
Published by John in Colorado , 2 years ago
There’s a lot written on golf psychology and the mental aspect of this great yet frustrating game, sport, lifestyle. I’ve read more than a handful of these golf self-help books. Be A Player is written in a very easy to understand and practical style. It makes sense and doesn’t require memorizing or taking notes.
The two authors divide all golf shots into 3 steps.
The Think Box where you think about your course strategy or a physical part of your swing.
Second is the Play Box where you turn to a more non-technical way of thinking and envisioning your shot.
Finally is the Memory Box. This is how you react to your shot mentally. This is the most important part of the process and stresses practical ways of being positive. This is critical. Many golfers fall apart psychologically at the various hazards like water. No need.
This step three is what separates this book from their earlier book Every Shot Must Have a Purpose. And every other book.
The authors have worked with many pro golfers and use this experience to bring everything to life. Hard to over rate the value of a positive attitude or this book. Be A Player.
