I have discovered this trainer's website along with one called "T-Nation" where many CSCS professionals post. Good stuff. There is only so much "golf specific" stuff to go around, at the end of the day, you are simply training an athlete, with a few adaptations for the demands of the sport (golf) and the current physical state of the specific golfer.
That site may blend in with your philosophy, but your posts are almost always in English! I would need a kinesilogist, a copy of Gray's Anatomy, and maybe a Merck manual to decipher some of that website!

You make it much easier for us. Thanks.
Ha, ha, well, its not much tougher than the Golfing Machine
Yea, there's not much tougher reading than the golfing machine and nothing so splendidly accurate. It's the price you pay sometimes. Thanks uppndown, I am often accused of over simplifying. Sometimes I have to work at it but I had a finance professor tell me once that if you confused or WOWed people with your language they would still have to go to someone else to really understand and have confidence.
I'm going to pick over the site this weekend and pick out some gems that I think will be most helpful.
Weather is sweet so many days in GA. Hope everyone is enjoying the greens. Vickie
Eric Cressey has some very good info on postural/corrective training.
Do you have his Building an Efficient Athlete video series?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
No I don't. But I have read a lot of his stuff and like it. My favorite 'tool' of his is the foam roller, it makes you feel like a million bucks.
I wouldnt quite attribute that to Cressey. It is a great tool though. As is a tennis ball and yoga.
Matt, do you engage in strengh training or more pure functional training? I have been doing strengh training for the past few months and have dropped weight and increased muscle. Flexibiliy is even better than before I started....

I guess I wouldn't completely attribute it to Cressey, but his article is the first one I read with an in-depth look at how to use them and all the benefits.
I engage in more strength training, not so much golf-specific. Big compound lifts, heavy weights, medium volume 3-4x per week. It's amazing how flexible you get doing exercises that supposedly make you "big and bulky"...
