Play Your Best Golf Now: Discover VISION54's 8 Essential Playing Skills

by Lynn Marriott, Pia Nilsson

Two of golf's most revolutionary teachers share a personalized approach to accessing your peak performance. "The VISION54 approach is far more than just pure golf technique, it allows an individual to unlock their true potential by opening their mind and believing anything is possible to achieve." - David Leadbetter, David Leadbetter Golf Academy Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott are Complete Game Coaches, leaders of a new kind of golf instruction that focuses on more than just the grip, the stance, and the swing. Their VISION54 method targets the complete golfer-the whole person-not just the technical aspects of the game. Their coaching philosophy focuses on possibilities, not limitations, with an end goal of MY54-the idea that any golfer can reach their own personalized version of peak performance, scoring nothing but birdies on a par-72 course. Building on the core concepts introduced in Every Shot Must Have a Purpose and the strategic thinking in The Game Within the Game, Play Your Best Golf Now takes the mystery out of the soft skills of golf and shows golfers how to add these skills to their game for peak performance. Players learn to master the 8 Essential Playing 1. LEAVE YOUR MIND BEHIND and enter the Play Box 2. DECIDE AND COMMIT to your shots 3. FIND YOUR BALANCE both physically and mentally 4. FEEL YOUR TEMPO on the course and dance to its rhythm 5. TAME TENSION to improve your swing 6. BUILD EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE 7. STORE MEMORIES and learn from the past to make a better present 8. DROWN SELF-TALK IN USEFUL THOUGHTS And the 2 Essential Practice 1. SIMULATE GOLF on the practice range to maximize your time and effort 2. INTEGRATE SKILLS and practice with a plan These Essentials complement the technical anchors of the game-the grip, the stance, the swing-and give players a foundation for achieving their peak performance. MY54 is the vision, and these are the building blocks for achieving a higher level of play.

This book taught me an important aspect of golf. It really put a big emphasis on the mental game of golf. Some important tips that I learned and took notes of on my phone was keeping a positive attitude and to practice with a purpose. Drills on the practice course that can improve my game include drills that strengthen one's mental game.

Hand's down, the best golf book I've read. Loved the eight playing essentials that are focused on the mind game and that include practical exercises and drills to reinforce them on the practice range and then to take them out on the course. It's really helped me enjoy golf more and improve at the same time (best of both worlds).

Game changer

I believe this book is a game changer as so much of it is played between two ears, in the heart and gut . A must read for any golfer. Technical+vision54= good

Excellent book that explains the mental part of the game. The tips included will work for other aspects of your life, besides golf.

[Dennis Willingham · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pia and Lynn's best book yet. It builds and refines the Golf54 principles outlined in their earlier books but you don't have to read them before picking up this one. If you're looking for the best book on the mental aspects of golf, and how to improve your outlook and develop skills for golf and life and general this is the book.

A great book on the other side of playing your best golf, the non-technical side. Of course, your best golf may still stink but this book will definitely give you a perspective and some great exercises on the non-technical side of golf.
