More About This Book

Overview

See your golf game as you never have before. See what it takes to improve consistency and performance on the links. Golf Anatomy will show you how to lower your score by increasing strength, power, and range of motion for longer drives and more accurate shots. 

Golf Anatomy includes 72 of the most effective exercises, each with step-by-step descriptions and full-color anatomical illustrations highlighting muscles in action. 

Golf Anatomy goes beyond exercises by placing you at the tee, on the fairways, and on the greens. You’ll see how to improve mobility, stability, body awareness, and muscle strength to add distance to drives, consistency to your short game, and accuracy to your putts. 

From sand traps to awkward lies, Golf Anatomy will prepare you for even the most challenging of shots. Plus, you’ll learn how to stay at the top of your game with targeted injury-prevention exercises for the lower back, elbows, wrists, shoulders, and hips. 

Combining expert instruction with beautiful, full-color illustrations, Golf Anatomy is truly an inside look into the game. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or simply a fan of the game, this book is a hole-in-one.

    Golf Anatomy

    I'm a PGA golf professional and Titleist Performance Institute Certified instructor. I find this book to be very accurate and illustrations are very clear. They break down the different topics in a very clear manner. If you follow this exercise manual you will make some great improvement. Two keys are flexibility with stability. This covers both and combines them to make your time more efficient. Great book!

    I just read Golf Anatomy; much better than i expected a golf fitness book to be!

    i just finished my first read of Golf Anatomy and although i was tentative before starting it i was pleasantly surprised. i thought this book would be similar to a few of the other exercise books i have read on golf but it wasnt. the chapters are relatively easy to follow but there is plenty of description and explanation. they just wrote it in language i can understand.

    The Golf Anatomy book does a great job of teaching you why you should be doing each exercise as the authors give an exanple of how the exercise will help the actual golf swing.

    i have to read the book again as i missed a lot of the details but will definitely try and get my golf instructor to read this book as i think it will help him understand his students bodies and swings better.
