About the Author:
I wrote this book in response to the many requests made of me in my teaching across the country. The people I teach, mostly physical therapists and fitness trainers, asked me to put a text together to update the video, and to lay out the complexities of the golf swing in a simple format that would be easy to understand. I am very happy with the book, because I was able to cover numerous areas of interest to the golfer. My investigation on the Mental side lead to David Cook, PhD, who's program I adopted in our Seattle Golf Academy program. You will find the Mental Side methodology easy to implement, and very, very effective. Finally, I included additional exercise for total body conditioning for those folk who wanted to go further, and exercise their whole body in a functional fashion. Finally, a word on effectiveness in training golfers functionally. The best way to do this is in the words of a recent student. At 40 years old, Walter wanted to improve his distance to move from a 10 handicap to a single digit player. Three exercise sessions, and here is what he had to say: "My shoulder turn is significantly greater and I am longer off the tee. Whereas I could not reach the long par fours in regulation, I've had no trouble doing so since after the third exercise session. In fact, I shot two rounds in the 70's for the first time in my life. This morning, I played six holes to one under before I came in to the office. I am thrilled with my progress." After almost 20 years of working with golfers, I am confident that this program will help you like no other can. Player after player has added yards, reduced their score, increased their shoulder turn, reduced their aches and pains, and on and on. I encourage you to build the skills you need on the golf course, but to do so with a healthy body, and a sharper brain. Fairways and Greens!
