Super Important Colleague Pace of Play Guide from Vision54's Pia Nilsson & Lynn Marriott
Pre-Shot Pace of Play Responsibilities and Better Golf for All Golfers!
While technology and advanced methods of training progress along with the human race, we can often nowadays become bogged down with decision fatigue and the need to be too perfect, thereby increasing our prep time to hit a golf shot. Remember a golf shot is only a 2 second happening. Multiply that times 70, 80, 90 or 100 shots in a round and the game only takes 2-3 minutes to actually play. All the other time is how golfers move, or don't move, between shots, creating a smooth or stagnant round for all other goers within and behind that group. World-renown coaches, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott, owners of Vision54 and coaches to countless Touring professionals and amateur golfers alike released a Pace of Play Training Guide in Spring 2025 that I'll be using excerpts from in my national speech on Pre/Post Shot Routines to the LPGA Amateur Association 'We are the Women in Golf' Summit at Daytona Beach May 19, 2025. Enjoy the read, learn how to STOP THINKING over the ball and start sending and reacting, having done the proper prep work. Focus better, Play better! READ GUIDE HERE
