Product Description
By Pia Nilsson & Lynn Marriott with Ron Sirak. Every Shot Must Have a Purpose lays out an integrated approach to the game that allows players to lose the frustration, find the fun, and achieve their ultimate potential. Nilsson and Marriott's VISION54 method is based upon the theory that it's possible to shoot a 54 if only you use the right mind-set and intuitive power, breaking golf down into five elements: Physical, Technical, Mental, Emotional, and Social, and using exercises and cutting-edge techniques to integrate these elements and create a climate for peak performance.

 Integrating all Aspects of the Game October 27, 2005

Once the basic foundation movements have been learned, Golf, like any other sport begins to become more mental than physical. We have all felt under great pressure at times. And when the pressure is great, we tend to not do as well. We freeze, we miss things that we wouldn't otherwise. We screw up.
In their #1 ranked golf school, GOLF54, the authors teach that playing golf well requires a combination of the physical, technical, mental, emotional and social parts of a players game. Most of this comes before you even get to the ball. This pre-shot focus routine improves a player's focus, leading to a golf swing that is not onnly successful but can be repeated when your performance is under considerable outside pressure.
Written in a light and easy to understand style, this book consists of a series of 22 short chapters, each devoted to one small aspect of improving your game.
Great Book March 12, 2006

At first I resisted buying this book because I really was more interested in a book that helped me with the mechanics of the swing. I didn't want to read more about being relaxed, be the ball etc. But the more I visited the Amazon reviews the more intrigued I became and bought the book. I am glad I did. It is a lot more than I thought. The author's concept of the "think box" and the "play box" is something I now use and it works. Lots of other concepts that have helped me are also in the book. Recommended to all.
A Sports (Golf) Psychologist's Review November 16, 2005

Pia and Lynn's book, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose, is a must read for those interested in improving their mental game in golf. I have studied almost every book on the topic and this is, by far, the best to date. I am providing my students with a copy before starting their training. I use the HeartMath biofeedback technology, as well as Bobby Foster's Mental Golf Profile which are highlighted in the book. Well organized, to the point, and practical strategies for immediate benefits. This is not wasted academic theory, or sports-psychobabble...it is the real deal.
Start here to improve your game and become your own coach November 1, 2005

Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott along with their co-writer Ron Sirak have continued to establish the gold standard of golf instruction, whether in person or through this book. I can think of no better place for all golfers - novice through elite levels - to start their journey to better scores and all-round fulfillment than this book. Not only will this book teach you how to become your own best coach by learning what you need to do to create your most successful swings under all conditions, it will impart personal development skills, knowledge and methods that can be used in other important areas of your life.

This book is the best. I've bought several books on golf and most of them emphasize more on swing mechanics and curing slices and hooks. However, Golf54 is different by stressing more on one's mental and emotional stability which definitely affects one's swing and also one's life. It's more to achieving harmony within one's self so that one's mind and body can work together prior to striking the ball. A bad swing is not necessarily caused by a faulty swing; but probably by a 'bad' state of mental awareness and emotion. This can be the reason for inconsistency during a golf game or practice. This book revolutionized my way of seeing my golf swing and understanding the reason behind my good shot and my bad shot. I should have bought this book earlier before investing on other golf book that touches more on the conventional way of learning golf through technical or mechanical view. You can have a good game one day and have a bad game the next day and you thought that it is solely caused by your swing? Buy this book and you'll understand what I mean. The best book I've bought!
