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)

Great resource. As you did, I stumbled onto T-Nation, in my case from some Alwyn Cosgrove article. Through T-Nation, I have been exposed to some great info from Cosgrove, Eric Cressey, Mike Robertson, Bill Hartman, Chad Waterbury, Mike Boyle, John Berardi, etc.
Once you get past the "muscle head" crowd, there is some really good information. (I only say that because Boyle put a couple of REALLY good articles, which were somewhat overlooked by the Weight lifting crowd, who were aghast that someone suggested that heavy squats and deadlifts might not be great longterm)
I have enjoyed your posts, 300 drive.

Physioguy is right! 300 Drive is on the right track to find the solutions to the very aspects of refining motion, on and off the golf course. You have to take control of your fitness. We have it here and there are a numerous amount of resourses. Keep seeking caz that's the way you find your way. Vickie
Great, great program/facility. They do in fact train you like an athlete. I do not do thier golf specific program....I think its for newbie's to working out (a little on the lite side, but, great for someone new to exercise)
The 1st 30 minutes is a combination of dynamic prep movements, flexability, agility drills, sprints, hops, abs, med-ball, etc. (some of the exact same stuff thats on cleveland golfs human performance website). Then we do strengh training. 3 times per week is my schedule. I have lost weight, look better (I think!), and have tons more energy during the day. Also, the workouts are different EACH session, and thats FUN. I always look forward to going their. I focus on flexability at home each morning and some evenings.
I highly recommend this type of training for anyone. And again, check out T-Nation for some great info on athletic development.
