Now in paperback, the official physician to the PGA Tour shares his groundbreaking research on preventing back pain and adding more yards to your drives. It is estimated that half of all recreational golfers and one-third of all professional golfers suffer from some form of lower-back pain. Conventional wisdom suggests that the twisting nature of the golf swing is the sole culprit. But research conducted by sports-medicine specialist Vijay Vad, M.D., reveals that the swing is only one of several factors. Applying Dr. Vad's winning combination of mind/body wisdom and medical expertise to the game of golf, Golf Rx shares his cutting-edge findings. Complete with more than one hundred photographs, Golf Rx is a practical guide that brings the wisdom of one of America's leading sports-medicine authorities to golfers of any level or age.

A list of exercises, alot like I see in aerobics classes, but no real plan for golf. I've seen most of these before, not really anything new. I picked up 2 really beneficial exercises out of the whole list.

It's not a secret that the most vital piece of golf equipment is the human body, yet most golfers believe the best ways to lower scores are big-head drivers, premium golf spikes, and other top-of-the-line tools. It's better physical conditioning that allows the pros to hit drives farther than ever, play 72-hole tournaments nearly every week, and rehabilitate even career-threatening injuries. These pros use the workouts prescribed by the fitness consultant and personal fitness trainer for players on both the PGA Tour and Senior PGA Tour, Kelly Blackburn.

In Exercises for Elite Golf Performance, Blackburn provides the same strength and flexibility program the pros use. Whether you're a fitness professional, teaching professional, coach, or a golfer serious about improving your game, this book ensures you're getting the top training program available. It includes 138 illustrated exercises and Blackburn's ""Fitness Analyzer,"" a series of tests golfers use to evaluate their beginning fitness level.

By using Blackburn's ""Elite Golf Performance Program,"" your shoulders will be more flexible and will rotate for a fuller backswing, and your stronger hip muscles will help you by putting more power behind the ball without having to consciously swing harder. This will result in longer, more accurate shots that allow you to club down and essentially shorten any course.

Don't be fooled into thinking new equipment is the only key in turning your golf game around. Use the pros' workouts to get in shape now and see significant results on your scorecard for the rest of your life.

Gary Player is known to be a excercise maniac. In this book he describes his program and illustrates 100 or so individual excercises. I found it almost too general and not specific to excercises designed to improve "golf" skills. Do you really need Gary Player to demonstrate the "push up"?
If one followed Mr. Player's program you would be fit for golf, life or just about anything else.

Combining stretching exercises, cardiovascular activities, weight training, and nutritional advice, Player's program will help golfers build their strength for greater distance off the tee, maintain flexibility, and consistency throughout a round, and increase their endurance, no matter how often they play. 200 4-color photos.

Golf After 50: Playing Without Pain Review

After hearing the author of this book interviewed on a syndicated XM radio talk show I decided to get the book for my 76 year old dad. He is an avid golfer and like many golfers his age is seeing his game deteriorate simply due to his age. This book covers strengthening and stretching exercises. It covers nutrition issues. When my dad received the book he immediately read it cover to cover. He said some of the exercises he already did in his routine and some were new to him. He is now doing many of the exercises in this book and claims it has helped him. My dad liked the book so much he went right out and bought one for his 64 year old brother-in-law for Christmas.

Having taken up golf again once my son had grown, I quickly realized that I was not in the physical shape of the 20 year old I had been when I first started playing in college. After my first injury to my elbow and a badly strained shoulder, I started looking around for a book that would help me with conditioning, preventing injuries and counsel me if (please, no!) this happened once again. At this point I had had enough of physical therapy, MRIs, etc. and didn't wish to injure myself further.
In his book Dr. Divot addresses in two of his chapters The Female Golfer and The Older Golfer -- just made for me, although I have trouble admitting the latter. Over this winter I'm even trying out some of his conditioning exercises in the hope of beginning the golf season stronger and less prone to injury.
I gave copies of his book as gifts to my golf group this past Christmas -- we're all female golfers, but not all of us will admit to being older. We'll see how we do in the Spring.

I used the yoga positions in the book to help me increase my flexibility and relax my mind. Does yoga increase flexibility? That's a definite. The writing in the book is well-done and is simple to follow.....
When I go to play golf I'm definitely more relaxed and more focused because of what I learned and practiced from this book.
{Yoga for Golfers: A Unique Mind-Body Approach to Golf Fitness} is a must-buy for all golfers.
Remember to practice the yoga positions because not only will you become more flexible, this also can contribute to having a peaceful mind both on and off the golf course.
Another great book which made me improve at golf is
{The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better} by Leonardi
This book was a also a total breakthrough for me...I've reduced my handicap because of it.
