Product Description
The Core Performance phenomenon continues—with this new book that combines the effectiveness of the author’s revolutionary training system and the enormous popularity of golf. Mark Verstegen, who has trained hundreds of elite athletes here and abroad at his Athletes’ Performance Institutes, among them many PGA and LPGA golfers, now shares with every golfer the methods that have helped the pros develop their explosive power and strength.

In Core Performance Golf, golfers will discover:
  • A training program that is ideally suited to developing the golf swing because so much of the swing, like the Core Program itself, depends on rotation and movement
  • Exercises designed to help them create more torque and balance, thus adding yards to drives and precision to shots
  • A conditioning and nutrition regimen that will build strength, power, and stamina, while reducing the risk of injuries and speeding recovery time
  • Sidebar quotes and tips from famous golfers the author has worked with



Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Mark Verstegen misses the "mark"   July 29, 2008
The illustrations of various strength and stretching movements are helpful, but when and how frequently to perform is quite confusing.
Too many categories: eg "Movement Prep, Prehab, etc. and too many options Par 3,4 etc make it problematic to create a specific program for an individual. A more straightforward "cookbook" approach would help..



5 out of 5 stars Great Book for Golf, which you can apply to entire lifestyle   February 25, 2008
 25 out of 27 found this review helpful

I am a 24 year old former collegiate golfer, and this book is probably one of the best I have read for golf specific training. The exercises are described well and the workouts are easy to follow. There is also a nutrition section which talks about how to be healthier day to day as well as what to eat pre / during a round. For anyone looking to increase flexibility, strength, power, eat better, prevent injury, this book is a must.

Just a side note, but the movement prep sequence for the workouts / pre round are worth the price of this book itself. I will never workout or play golf again without completing the Movement Prep beforehand, it is the best stretching / warm up routine I have seen.

I highly recommend this book.
