Review

I've been using The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Golf for 8 weeks. I must say the results are amazing. I have added 7mph to my driver swing speed (109mph to 116mph) and my flexibility has increased dramatically. I have played a few rounds and feel I control the club much better at the top. I also don't fatigue at the end of the round. I never really thought working out made much of a difference, but your program works. A few friends just bought your book and have started their own programs. Thanks for a great service! --Chuck S

Thank you SportsWorkout for your help. I have improved my driving distance and with that my score improved also my confidence. I play high school golf but I didn't win many awards because of my inability to hit the ball far which left me with long iron and wood shots into the greens. Your golf book has really helped me develop great training habits and I am a much better golfer because of it! --Cole H

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Training Book, But Not Golf Specific, July 13, 2009
By Mongo (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Golf (Paperback)
I've been involved in weight training at a high level for over 30 years. I took up golf later in life (late 30s) and was looking for a book that would provide exercises and routines that would help me move from pure strength-building to a program tailored for the golfer -- focusing more on flexibility, core strength and other exercises that would improve a golfer's game. This book might mention "golf" a handful of times, but is otherwise far from sport specific. That said, it's an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn about the fundamentals of weight training -- good illustrations of many of the exercises you'll see in every gym (free weights only) and a good, comprehensive collection of pre-set programs that are geared for different skill/experience levels. I've downgraded it 2 stars because the mention of "golf" in the title is completely misleading -- if you religiously followed the "strength building" routines from this book, you almost certainly wouldn't improve your golf game, which relies far more on touch than brute strength.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed, January 13, 2004
By M. Slate "slatesplace" (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Golf (The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports, 13) (The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports, ... Guide to Weight Training for Sports, 13) (Paperback)
This book is just what I was looking for. Not a how to exercise book, but an execise program. I am using the book to make my own workout program workbook to follow. I know some people called it a cut and paste job, and to a certain extent that is true. But it is just in the section that shows you how to do the excercises, and that is not the focus of this book. The focus is what excercises to do when and for how long, and on that point the book hits the mark. I already knew how to do a push-up I just didn't know when I needed to do a push-up to improve my golf game. This book covers that short sweet and the the point without too much filler to make the book look thicker.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless for Golfers, July 27, 2009
This review is from: Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Golf (Paperback)
This book has about five pages of information that is even vaguely golf-specific (pp. 9-14); the rest are how to perform weight lifting and specific exercises, with some generic diet advice. The problem is that there is almost no link between the two parts of the book, as in "This exercise will help with your grip" or "These exercises strengthen your forearms, which is important because..." While I haven't read or looked at all of them, there are 30 books by this author (listed on the back page of this one) claiming to be weight training for different sports. It looks as though the author wrote one book for weight lifting and grafted on a few pages in front and changed the title to make it seem sport-specific. In fact, there are more pages of advertising in the back of the book (six) for the author's website than there are golf-specific pages. It would be interesting to see if the same typos are in all of the books. If you're a lifter who wants to take up golf, this book may be helpful, but if you're a golfer or golfer-wannabe, this book is total waste of money.
