Golf can be an incredibly fun, challenging, and also frustrating game. It's so challenging, most will never master it. It is interesting in that it requires a unique combination of strength, power, accuracy, and a soft touch. Some may think that it is a lazy man's game, but nothing could be further from the truth. 2 major issues immediately arise when assessing what is needed for golf fitness: 1. Increased strength and power development. 2. Injury prevention especially concerning the lower back. Golf can be a high force damaging activity to many of the body's mid-section tissues.

The 8 weeks of routines contained in this book will do just that. This program also includes: The biggest mistakes NOT to make when training for golf.
