Synopsis

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 by your side, you will become a true student of VISION54 and a better player better on the course . . . where it matters most!

Goodreads review by Max

Some heady ideas in this book. The first one has to do with the concept that the body has three brains! One in the head, one in the heart and one in the gut. Haven't heard that before. Second, the brain stores bad memories three times more forcefully than good memories. I will read this book again,......more

Goodreads review by Bob

This is one of the better golf instruction books I've ever read because it offers practical advice on how to play better without giving advice on how to play. There is no swing instruction in this book and there are no promises of quick fixes like so many other books. Rather, this book focuses on th......more

This book reads like a sales pitch for the authors’ VISION54 program, mixed in with some quack science and some genuinely useful insights. This book lost me when, early on, it used the argument that we only access 10% of our brains — imagine what we could do if we accessed all 100%! Let common sense......more
