5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Golf, which you can apply to entire lifestyle, February 25, 2008
I am a 24 year old former collegiate golfer, and this book is probably one of the best I have read for golf specific training. The exercises are described well and the workouts are easy to follow. There is also a nutrition section which talks about how to be healthier day to day as well as what to eat pre / during a round. For anyone looking to increase flexibility, strength, power, eat better, prevent injury, this book is a must.

Just a side note, but the movement prep sequence for the workouts / pre round are worth the price of this book itself. I will never workout or play golf again without completing the Movement Prep beforehand, it is the best stretching / warm up routine I have seen.

I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great program, August 17, 2008
I bought this book as well as the Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Golf. I think this book has a better program, particularly when used in conjunction with the Core Performance web site.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good exercises but seems to skip strength, January 24, 2009
I got some good exercises from this book. You can get the Jan or Feb Golf Magazine and see the main exercises in this book for free. The book actually has a program and approach that I think is well laid out.

I think this book should also mention more exercises to really strengthen your core muscles. The focus is overly tilted to flexibility.

This is an extensive program that I am sure if followed would be great. However, it was far too much for me and there weren't any subsets that I felt useful.
