Book Description
INTEGRATING WEIGHT TRAINING PROPERLY INTO YOUR GOLF EXERCISE PROGRAM Physically, golf requires a mix of aerobic fitness and strength. You don't want to fade in the last few holes in a round because you feel tired, which impacts mental as well as physical performance. Golf is often seen as a passive sport, not requiring much physical fitness. But, in truth, it actually incorporates cardiovascular exercise, strength training, balance and even coordination, to name a few. And, while you may not realize it, everything from your posture down to how you move your body can affect your golf game. From a performance training perspective, golf fitness is the preparation of your body for playing golf. In the same way that you would prepare yourself to run a race or get in shape to play a sport, you need to prepare your body to play golf. For professionals or competitive golfers, this could mean developing their physical fitness to maintain peak performance throughout an entire round, week after week, for the whole season. For recreational golfers, golf fitness means having all the different ranges of motion necessary to swing consistently and reduce the risk of injury. However, no matter your experience or skill level, all golfers can benefit from golf fitness training. A golf fitness program prepares you for the demands of the sport. Because golf isn't necessarily a high-speed, contact sport, it may be easy to overlook the physical demands of a round of golf. However, the sport can be physically complex and demanding in that it utilizes various muscle groups and parts of the body that must work together on each swing. The ability to move your body properly is the most significant benefit of a golf fitness program - even more than physical strength. A single golf swing requires a full range of motion in the shoulders, back, hips and hands. A golf fitness program helps improve and maintain each of these motions. A successful, consistent golf swing requires strength for stabilizing the lower body while rotating the trunk and upper body. Building total body strength comes second only to range of motion when it comes to golf fitness. Without an adequate range of motion or total body strength, golfers can be susceptible to injuries from the repetitive motions of each swing. For example, poor range of motion in the shoulders can put more strain on your back. Additionally, a lack of core and lower body strength can cause other muscles to compensate and result in strains, sprains and other injuries. Want to discover more? Get a Copy of This Book Now

Book Description
The hysterical story bestseller about one man's epic Celtic sojourn in search of ancestors, nostalgia, and the world's greatest round of golf By turns hilarious and poetic, A Course Called Ireland is a magnificent tour of a vibrant land and paean to the world's greatest game in the tradition of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods. In his thirties, married, and staring down impending fatherhood, Tom Coyne was familiar with the last refuge of the adult male: the golfing trip. Intent on designing a golf trip to end all others, Coyne looked to Ireland, the place where his father has taught him to love the game years before. As he studied a map of the island and plotted his itinerary, it dawn on Coyne that Ireland was ringed with golf holes. The country began to look like one giant round of golf, so Coyne packed up his clubs and set off to play all of it-on foot. A Course Called Ireland is the story of a walking-averse golfer who treks his way around an entire country, spending sixteen weeks playing every seaside hole in Ireland. Along the way, he searches out his family's roots, discovers that a once-poor country has been transformed by an economic boom, and finds that the only thing tougher to escape than Irish sand traps are Irish pubs.
