Publisher's summary

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 a must-listen for any golfer who wants to unite technical skills and on-course performance seamlessly and effectively. With this cutting-edge book, you will become a true student of VISION54 and a better player on the course...where it matters most!

Also be a better person

Listening to what, some I already knew, but to a larger extent was very thought provoking and beneficial.

Mental side of golf and life

I enjoyed this overview of the development of coaching and helping players achieve their best.

Helped me get out of my own way

This book really did help me think differently on the course. I quit obsessing over my score and swing and just played. I’m still working on it, but the balance tension and tempo thing has been such a great feel for me! I love the philosophy! Thanks!

vision54 continues to evolve.

i like how this builds upon and adds new principles and concepts to the previously covered. i am pleased with the content to take into the off season.

Best golf book I’ve listened to

This book has everything I needed to begin enjoying golf again. Given it to all my over 70 golfing buddies and they all thanked me. Lost my mental secret weapon since they understand what My 54 is all about. Better listened to than read. I listen before each round and it’s great:)

A great read for those looking to grow and improve

This book brought out some great insights from a coach who has worked with some great professional players. I learned a lot as a coach that I can transfer to my players and clients I work with.

Groundbreaking!

A completely different way to think about the great game of golf! The body is such a complex organism there is no way we can “groove” one swing for every shot, variability is the KEY! Loved it can’t wait to read the next book by them!

Mental game improved 👌

Great techniques that are relatively easy to apply in a short amount of time.

Amazing Results For Me!

Human skills defined as self awareness on numerous levels has proven to be a real game changer for me! Thanks Pia and Lynn

Great stuff.

Listen to the book multiple times to get the most out of it. I've faced all the self inflicted problems discussed in the book many times. I feel as though I'm now better equipped to deal them.
