Every Shot … is Back!

The secret of success is constancy to purpose. ~ Benjamin Disraeli

Every Shot … is Back!

Every Shot Must Have A Purpose is the title of our first book, originally published 20 years ago! It was our first attempt to share a view of the game beyond the technical aspect of the swing.

For example, in Chapter 6 we explore the idea that You Are More Consistent Than You Think, in two meaningful ways.

Firstly, you are consistent in what you do when you play well. Perhaps it’s having a smooth tempo, stretching well before the round, committing to every decision, or chatting and having a good time in between shots. This is what we now call your MY54.

Secondly, you are consistent in how you get in your own way. Maybe you have too much tension in your shoulders, you’re doubting your decisions, or your mind is too busy worrying. This is what we now call your NOT54.

Make sure you know at least 3-5 things you seem to do when you play well – that are under your control – and one main thing that happens to you when you are not playing well.

Then, know what you can do when you catch yourself getting in your own way so you can shift back to what you do when playing well. Your game will end up being more consistent, or less variable! Here’s some examples to inspire your own self-discovery:

>> Tempo Too Fast ––> breathe with long exhales and a calmer tempo
>> Too Tight ––> move and relax the muscle group that is too tight between shots, feel relaxed shoulders
>> Worrying ––> sing a song in your head, feel your feet walking to get back to being present
>> Irritated ––> name your emotion, take a deep breath and access the feeling of being peaceful or chilled

On a recent podcast with Joe Rogan, the actor Bill Murray talked at length – for 7 minutes (1:39 - 1:46) – about the influence this book, and the coaching we have done with him, have had on his own golf game. Following that interview, with 10,000,000+ views, both the Every Shot Must Have A Purpose book and Action Guide quickly reached #1 and #2 on Amazon and then the book went out of stock!

Good News!

The hard cover has been sold out for about a month, but … new printed copies are coming in early April. You can order it through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your favorite booksellers. As soon as it’s released, we’ll announce it on our social media channels. :)

To dive deeper into the VISION54 concepts and principles as they are presented in the book, you can followup with the Action Guide we created to accompany it, also available on Amazon.

>> Suggestion: The LPGA Amateur Golf Association is currently running a book club using Every Shot Must Have A Purpose and the Action Guide to support their learning. Your group, large or small, can do the same! Check out all our Books + Action Guides >>
