Yoga for Golf Fitness & Performance
For years, more and more athletes have been participating in all kinds of yoga practice to strengthen and improve their balance, physical mental performance in elite sports. Even for casual golfers, yoga can have an immediate and dramatic impact on one's game: helping prevent injuries & strain, reducing strokes and improving overall control of ball flight. CPGA Professional, Chima McLean who has now been practicing yoga for more than a decade, says “Yoga is a great help to golf… It previously helped my back problems immensely to the point where I can walk carrying my golf bag again… I now recommend all my clients try yoga – even if they don’t immediately realize the benefits of increased mental focus, added strength and personal control over stress, everyone can enjoy golf more with the added flexibility from yoga.”Mike, a yoga for golf student at The Adelaide Club in Toronto shared his success story: “I’m currently playing to a 12 handicap, drive the ball 265-270 on average. After just one class, I found two major improvements in two consecutive rounds. Specifically my short to mid iron game, without even knowing it, I was able to get my club to the top of my backswing with ease and in combination with breathing exercises (again subconsciously) recoil my body with an effortless tempo… key result was my ability to control ball flight, high or low, whatever the situation required. Both rounds I scored 5 strokes lower than average, but maybe the best part of all is an increased confidence level over the golf shot. For the record, I’m not a gadget, watch videos how to improve your game type guy, I just like to go out and play. What intrigued me about this was that I’ve always had an interest in yoga (primarily for the long tem benefits), but never the courage not the time, as a lover of the game, simply attaching the word “golf” to it and concentration of the “core” (which is the golf swing), was enough for me to try it.

Golf Science: Optimum Performance from Tee to Green
Golf is perhaps the most complicated simple game ever invented. Golfing greats like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods make the sport look easy, but anyone who has ever picked up a club knows how truly frustrating golf can be. The success of each shot depends on a diverse range of factors, from the club you choose and the speed with which you swing it, to your mood, the weather, and even the type and cut of the grass. Science plays a crucial role in most, if not all, of these factors, and in Golf Science, sports science expert Mark F. Smith investigates the cutting-edge scientific wonders that take the ball from tee to hole. Each chapter explores a different facet of the game—mind and body, the swing, the equipment, the environment, coaching with technology, the practice process, and the score—and is organized around a series of questions. What happens in the brain during the preshot routine? Does head movement hinder swing performance? Will I hit the ball farther with a longer driver? Why do I lose distance into the wind? What can I learn from watching my ball in flight? How should practice be structured? What are the key stats in golf that I need to know? Each question is examined with the aid of explanatory diagrams and illustrations, and the book can be used to search for particular topics, or read straight through for a comprehensive overview of how golfer and equipment work together. A must-have for anyone who delights in the spirit of the game, Golf Science will be enjoyed not only by professionals and coaches but also by spectators of the PGA Tour and anyone who enjoys a round of eighteen holes on the weekend.
