Golf Fitness by Christian Henning Pdf

Can I really add 30 yards to my golf game?Yes... but let me warn you, if you are lazy and are simply looking for a “magic bullet” solution, this is not the program for you.The simple fact of the matter is this: the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less program is NOT a “quick fix”. It's a SMART fix to a very complex problem that consequently yields incredibly fast results.Oh, and did I mention that you'll probably even burn loads of fat off while you add distance to ALL your clubs at the same time? That's unheard of. But the reality is I've had clients do it over and over again, and you will too.At the same time, I want to make sure I'm being very clear: make no mistake, this program takes work, and if you're one of these people who can't dedicate 30 days to radically changing your golf game and body – a change that you will be able to enjoy for the rest of your life – then please, do not invest in this system.But for those of you who are serious, those who are ready to put forth the effort, the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less system will absolutely give you every tool you need to immediately DOUBLE your rate of distance gains and experience the yardage gains you deserve – GUARANTEED.Others did it too…and so can you.If you have read everything up to this point, you definitely are not lazy. I think you genuinely want to get better at your golf game.. and you aren't afraid of practice, working out, or analyzing your stats.You enjoy the process of “digging it out of the dirt”.I've taught thousands of other golfers just like you how to dig it out of the dirt and transform their bodies and golf games. Just about every day I get emails, Facebook posts, and tweets of people just like you who transformed their golf games and bodies using my workouts.Here are just a few clients of the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less system and what they had to say:"I bought the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less program already 2 months into my golf season. I was a little scared about working out and playing golf, not knowing if my body could hold up.I saw results right away in my swing and health of my body. What Chris puts together with not only the lifting but also the joint mobility and flexibility training helped dramatically to my swing and joints.This added health allowed me to work out harder and these workouts are right to the point, which helps because I am always on the move. Overall I was able to gain about 20 yards to my about 240-yard original full driver swing.I can't wait to continue this program and use this as a part of my life from now on." - Mitchell S., Norway"I tried your 30 yards in 30 days program back in May. It definitely works... when I swing in control.Won three longest drives this year in tournaments!" - Dave, 34, Ontario, Canada“Your workout is going well.I was in pretty good shape before starting the workout but I like that everything is tailored around golf motions.Another one of my weaknesses was getting myself to stretch.This workout requires you to stretch and I am a big fan of that as well.” - John W.“Just wanted to thank you for creating and allowing me to try the 30 Yards or More in 30 Days or Less workout system. 2 weeks after starting we had a nice weekend and I hit the longest drive of my life so I can't wait to see what happens now that it has been over 30 days.” - Chris S.“After just two weeks of doing the workouts, twice each beginners workout. I can see a marketable difference in my swing. I can't tell distance yet, as I haven't been out on the course. But I can tell the difference in my leg strength and flexibility already. It will be easily 30 yards!”Thank you,?- Chris Connell

Extraordinary Golf: the Art of the Possible by Fred Shoemaker,Pete Shoemaker Pdf

Most golfers approach the tee with a complex mental package: worries and judgments about their swing, the other person's swing, the course, the weather, looking good, looking bad. They think about what's wrong instead of what's possible, and this is what Extraordinary Golf teaches: the art of the possible. Drawing on his experience teaching both amateurs and professionals for more than fifteen years, in his clinics around the country, in his Golf in the Kingdom seminars at the Esalen Institute, and at his own School for Extraordinary Golf in California, Shoemaker shows how extraordinary golf can be coached, learned, and practiced, with results not only in people's scores but in their sheer pleasure in the game. Combining a host of practical exercises with an entirely new point of view, he demonstrates how to focus not on the voices in your head but on the reality of golf: the club, the ball, your body, the course - the elements that actually make up your game. He shows how to approach shots creatively, instead of mechanically; how to read greens simply by staying awake; how to develop a powerful and consistent swing by rediscovering trust for your instincts; and how to improve yourself in competition by determining what you're competing for. He also gives simple guidelines on how to coach yourself, your spouse, and your children successfully.
