Summary: A great book and not just for golfers!
Comment: I have spent the past 10+ years in the fitness industry working several years as a strength and conditioning coach and the past five or so years as a corrective exercise specialist. I picked this book up because a local golf pro had been referring me a great many of his golfers for injury rehabilitation and "core conditioning." My knowledge of the game of golf was minimal but having had good success with Mr. Chek's rehabilitation protocols; I purchased this book along with three other books that showed good Amazon ratings.

This book was by far the best of the four and also proved invaluable in conditioning and rehabilitation for tennis and hockey players (also rotation dominant sports). With simple terminology, a great deal of diagrams, and a systematic approach Chek describes how to assess yourself for muscle imbalance and movement restrictions, what the affect will be on your golf game, and how to correct the problems uncovered.

Chapters include: Stretching, How to Warm-up for Golf, Functional Exercise, Strength Training, and Power Training. Special emphasis is placed on how to design a program for the individual golfer and avoiding the "one size fits all" approach. Proper progression, sets, reps, tempos, and rest periods are indicated for each exercise and abdominal wall function and core conditioning are integral components of each phase of training.

Following the programs in this book (there are enough to keep you busy for a year if you periodize them properly) has helped my golfers not only lower their golf score, but lose weight, and eliminate shoulder, elbow, back pain and neck pain as well. The book is good.
