I’ve been using The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Golf for 8 weeks. I must say the results are amazing. I have added 7mph to my driver swing speed (109mph to 116mph) and my flexibility has increased dramatically. I have played a few rounds and feel I control the club much better at the top. I also don’t fatigue at the end of the round. I never really thought working out made much of a difference, but your program works. A few friends just bought your book and have started their own programs. Thanks for a great service! –Chuck SThank you SportsWorkout for your help.

I’ve been involved in weight training at a high level for over 30 years. I took up golf later in life (late 30s) and was looking for a book that would provide exercises and routines that would help me move from pure strength-building to a program tailored for the golfer — focusing more on flexibility, core strength and other exercises that would improve a golfer’s game. This book might mention “golf” a handful of times, but is otherwise far from sport specific. That said, it’s an excellent book for anyone who wants to learn about the fundamentals of weight training — good illustrations of many of the exercises you’ll see in every gym (free weights only) and a good, comprehensive collection of pre-set programs that are geared for different skill/experience levels. I’ve downgraded it 2 stars because the mention of “golf” in the title is completely misleading — if you religiously followed the “strength building” routines from this book, you almost certainly wouldn’t improve your golf game, which relies far more on touch than brute strength.

This book is just what I was looking for. Not a how to exercise book, but an execise program. I am using the book to make my own workout program workbook to follow. I know some people called it a cut and paste job, and to a certain extent that is true. But it is just in the section that shows you how to do the excercises, and that is not the focus of this book. The focus is what excercises to do when and for how long, and on that point the book hits the mark. I already knew how to do a push-up I just didn’t know when I needed to do a push-up to improve my golf game. This book covers that short sweet and the the point without too much filler to make the book look thicker.
