Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson, co-creators of the VISION54 approach, are both internationally renowned experts on the mechanics of the golf swing. However, what makes Marriott and Nilsson stand apart as unique coaches is their inherent VISION54 belief that the technical side of the game is just one of six essential elements that must be integrated to allow for peak performance. This is what elevates them from good to great ?this is what defines them as Complete Game Coaches.

The belief that the physical, technical, mental, emotional, social and spirit of the game elements of golf must come together in balance is at the very heart of the VISION54 coaching focus that has profoundly changed the game for so many players.

Marriott and Nilsson are both featured among the top-50 lists for Golf Digest magazines?best teachers, and are listed in GOLFMagazine抯 Top 100 Teachers. Golf Digest ranked them in 2010 as the #1 and #2 women teachers in America. In 2005, GOLF Magazine named VISION54抯 flagship program, 54 GOLF, the number one golf school in the U.S. They also have co-authored a number of books, including the best-selling Every Shot Must Have A Purpose, The Game Before the Game and Play Your Best Golf Now. Their coaching articles have been frequently featured in the major golf publications, and they have enjoyed numerous appearances on The Golf Channel.

Private lessons are two-fold; mechanics and management or the actual playing of the game. The mechanics of the golf swing are essential to an effective and enjoyable game, although the real 揵asics?of the mechanics are what I focus on. Individual lessons begin with a personalized evaluation of the student抯 physical abilities and how they relate to the golf swing, as well as the goals of the student. Individual customized programs are set up according to the level of commitment and anticipated time that each student will dedicate. Private lessons cover all aspects of the game and include video analysis of the student抯 swing to evaluate and a take-home practice routine.To schedule lessons, call: (480) 393-3936營ndividual Lesson 1 hour厖厖厖厖厖.$200.00 Couple Lesson 1 hour厖厖厖厖厖?$300.00燡unior Lesson (ages 12-18) 1 hour厖................$150.00燡unior Lesson (ages 8-11) 45 minutes厖?.....$100.00燙hild Lesson (ages 2-7) 30 minutes 厖厖?$50.00On-Course Playing Lesson牋牋牋牋牋牋牋?2 hours厖厖.9 holes厖厖厖..$200.00 per hour/per person牋牋牋牋牋牋牋?(Green fees and cart fees are included)牋牋牋牋牋牋牋?4 hours厖厖.18 holes厖厖厖$200.00 per hour/per person牋?(Green fees and cart fees are included)?
