  The founders of the world-renowned VISION54 training program take golf instruction to the next level in this groundbreaking approach to mastering the game. 
   
  Golf is a beloved yet technical game, so a sound swing and precise technique are essential. Most golfers who want to improve their skills go to the range and work painstakingly on their swings, not realizing it’s often their performance state on the course that needs work, not their technique. Simple things such as awareness of your balance, tension, and tempo, as well as the ability to control mental, emotional, and social variables you encounter while playing can quickly take your game to a new performance level. 
   
  Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott, founders of VISION54’s groundbreaking and innovative golf program are here to help. Aimed at both the weekend golfer and the advanced player, each chapter presents a series of “human skills” —including assignments, explorations, and mini-lessons—that strip away the complexity surrounding swing technique and playing consistency—the conditional variations that plague golfers. 
   
  Be A Player is the must-have book for any golfer who wants to unite technical skills and on-course performance seamlessly and effectively. With this cutting-edge text by your side, you will become a true student of VISION54 and a better player better on the course . . . where it matters most!

  Nymphing – the New Way - French...

  French nymphing, or European nymphing as it is often known in the US, is the most important new development in flyfishing for a generation. The use of ultra-long tapered French leaders provides huge advantages both in terms of reducing drag and dramatically improving fly presentation.
  These methods, which have already revolutionised the world of competition flyfishing, are now also proving themselves to be a game-changer for the recreational fisherman.
  
  This is the first book to explain all branches of French leader technique:
  
  • sight nymphing
  
  • short and long-range indicator nymphing
  
  • dry fly
  
  • fishing for grayling, carp and steelhead
  
  • masterclasses from leading experts
  
     Cody Burgdorff (USA)
     Julien Daguillanes (France)
     Stanislav Mankov (Bulgaria)
  
  • tips for fishing in all types of river and clear stillwaters in the UK, Continental Europe, the
  
     USA and the Southern Hemisphere.
  Use of the French leader has led to the French national team becoming the most successful team at the World Championships in recent years, winning 7 Gold, 7 Silver and 7 Bronze medals.
  
  As opportunities to catch trout on a dry fly have become less frequent and of shorter duration, the use of modern nymphing techniques can often make the difference between a successful fishing trip and not catching fish at all.

  Catching a giant trevally (or 'GT') on a fly rod is the pinnacle of flats fishing: highly challenging, requiring skill, preparation and courage. This is the first comprehensive guide to giant trevally fishing on the fly.
  The giant trevally is an apex predator, and the way it operates is nothing less than brutal. These 'gangsters of the flats' are like packs of hoodlums marauding across the atolls and shallow estuaries. Hunting for trevally in the harsh environment they inhabit needs a certain resolve. The flyfisher's first encounter with a giant trevally will be an electrifying experience. A GT can destroy tackle and ego, leaving all in its wake.
  
  But once you've caught one, GT flyfishing is an experience that any angler will want to repeat.
  
      • How to catch them
  
      • Tackle and equipment
  
      • Which flies to use
  
      • Winning tactics
  
      • Best destinations
