Golf Rx gives you a good sense of where to start with your physical fitness as it relates to golf. A fitter body allows for better performance and more longevity in the game, and Golf Rx is your roadmap. -- Laird Small, Director, Pebble Beach Golf Academy; 2003 PGA National Teacher of the Year

Every golfer wants to hit the ball 20 yards farther. Golf RX will help all players in this elusive quest. Just as important, it will give golfers everywhere the resources to lead a healthier, more active lifestyle. -- Susan K. Reed, Editor-in-Chief, Golf for Women

In this era of bomb and gouge and golfers as athletes, Golf RX is an indispensable resource. The exercises will have you hitting the ball farther than ever, and will keep you healthy so you can enjoy the game for a long time to come. -- Peter Morrice, Senior Editor, Golf Digest

Vijay Vad is a medical miracle- he got me back on the course. I highly recommend this book and Dr. Vad's entire program to any golfer with a bad back, not just for pain relief but also for better score. -- Jack Welch, Author, Speaker

5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary reading for golfers., October 10, 2007
I wish I'd read this book 45 years ago, when I started playing golf. If you're a serious golfer -- one who wants to play your best, and works toward that goal -- you have a choice: get into a good flexibility and strengthening program, or be prepared to spend some really painful time in bed, not playing golf in beautiful weather.
This book provides what you need to lower the likelihood of encountering the pain and misery of golf-related back problems. There are no guarantees in life, but it has transformed golf for this 67-year old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Golf Strength and Conditioning, June 14, 2007
It was a very easy read. Very little golf stuff but lots of easy exercises to do and could be done in under 20 minutes for better fitness. It has three levels of difficulties. Yes, to golf better, improve on strength and flexibility as the explosive force in a golf swing could result in injury if we are not properly conditioned, especially weekend warriors.
