Excellent Instructional Book

I think this book is essential to read for any serious golfer over age 30, regardless of handicap and especially for those who want to improve their game and their fitness to play the game without serious injury. I consider it one of the best sports and fitness books I've ever read with a lot of excellent information, useful exercises, and a very easy-to-read style. More than 30 years ago I was a serious yoga practitioner. Then I changed from yoga to weight training. Ten years later I stopped playing golf due to a serious back problem. At that time I had been playing golf for more than 20 years and still enjoyed playing. I was playing to a 17 handicap at that time. Finally, after nearly 20 years of dedicated fitness training and several lengthy periods of physical therapy, I've resumed playing golf and am loving it. Since returning to the links, I've taken group and individual golf lessons and attended a 3-day short game school, all of which have helped me re-acquaint myself with the fundamentals and finer points of golf. This book has help me immeasurably already too. Many of the exercises in this book are based on the yoga techniques I've continued to use over the years. Those that I had forgotten or stopped doing have already helped me improve the fluidity and mechanics of my swing, relax during play, and to improve my strength, flexibility, and mental approach. Although I haven't played enough since returning to golf to establish my current handicap, I highly recommend this book. I don't know what it will do for your handicap, although I think it will help you reduce it, but, I'm confident it will benefit your enjoyment of the game and your overall fitness.

This book HELPED me to RELAX my mind both on and off the course., New way for golfers

I used the yoga positions in the book to help me increase my flexibility and relax my mind. Does yoga increase flexibility? That's a definite. The writing in the book is well-done and is simple to follow.....

When I go to play golf I'm definitely more relaxed and more focused because of what I learned and practiced from this book.

{Yoga for Golfers: A Unique Mind-Body Approach to Golf Fitness} is a must-buy for all golfers.

Remember to practice the yoga positions because not only will you become more flexible, this also can contribute to having a peaceful mind both on and off the golf course.

Another great book which made me improve at golf is
{The Ultimate Golf Instruction Guide: Key Techniques for Becoming a Zero Handicap Golfer or Better} by Leonardi
This book was a also a total breakthrough for me...I've reduced my handicap because of it.
