Itas not about changing your swingaitas about changing your mind: Two legendary coaches give golfers a powerful new approach to the game... and to life.

As coaches to some of golfas top players, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott have designed and refined a revolutionary way of teaching the game, with phenomenal results. They donat believe in prescribing the same stance, grip, and swing to everyone, followed by hours of purposeless drilling. They donat even believe in beginning with physical technique. Their success has proven to them that a great game begins with a great vision.

Unlike any other golf book, "Every Shot Must Have a Purpose" offers cutting-edge techniques for integrating the physical, technical, mental, emotional, and social parts of a playeras game. The bookas revolutionary pre-shot routine will improve your focus, leading to a golf swing that is not only successful but can be repeated under extreme pressure. Emphasizing the individual golfer rather than a rigid set of mechanics, their VISION54 method takes the frustration out of the game. Why 54? Because they believe itas possible to shoot a 54 (making a birdie on every hole of a par-72 course) if you have the right mind-set and well-honed intuitive power.

An engaging read for the beginner or the seasoned golfer, "Every Shot Must Have a Purpose" is inspiration for life, not just the links.
aI have been impressed by Pia ever since I saw her in action in the late 1980as, first as a player and then as my coach. Pia is open-minded and intelligent and possesses the desire to constantly help others develop... I have been inspired to follow her beliefs and life philosophy.a
