" It's not a secret that the most vital piece of golf equipment is the human body, yet most golfers believe the best ways to lower scores are big-head drivers, premium golf spikes, and other top-of-the-line tools. It's better physical conditioning that allows the pros to hit drives farther than ever, play 72-hole tournaments nearly every week, and rehabilitate even career-threatening injuries. These pros use the workouts prescribed by the fitness consultant and personal fitness trainer for players on both the PGA Tour and Senior PGA Tour, Kelly Blackburn. In Exercises for Elite Golf Performance , Blackburn provides the same strength and flexibility program the pros use. Whether you're a fitness professional, teaching professional, coach, or a golfer serious about improving your game, this book ensures you're getting the top training program available. It includes 138 illustrated exercises and Blackburn's ""Fitness Analyzer,"" a series of tests golfers use to evaluate their beginning fitness level. By using Blackburn's ""Elite Golf Performance Program,"" your shoulders will be more flexible and will rotate for a fuller backswing, and your stronger hip muscles will help you by putting more power behind the ball without having to consciously swing harder. This will result in longer, more accurate shots that allow you to club down and essentially shorten any course. Don't be fooled into thinking new equipment is the only key in turning your golf game around. Use the pros' workouts to get in shape now and see significant results on your scorecard for the rest of your life. "

This book has excellent pictures with easy to follow exercises. This book is like no other because it goes through practically every muscle to build strength in. She goes over how to work-out the quadriceps, outer thigh muscles, back, shoulders. This helped me to increase my clubhead speed. I also highly recommend, The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better (author is Patrick Leonardi). The second book helped me to play consistently good at golf. It has extremely effective techniques. Blackburn's book helped me to gain strength, which contributed to me hitting the ball further.

Being able to do this program from the privacy of my own home or office is a dream! My initial investment in the equipment needed was less than $200. Health clubs are too crowded and expensive for my taste, so this program, dare I say.....fits me to a tee!

This book is full of useful exercises for my golf game. The analyzer was a great way to start my program. My fitness trainer has incorporated this book into our training sessions and I've already seen an increase in my driving distance within 8 weeks.
