Book Description

Publication Date: 8 Nov 2001
Lower Scores and Longer Drives

Let’s face the facts. You need to be in shape to be on your best golf game. Ernie Els’ Guide to Golf Fitness offers a comprehensive and fully illustrated fitness plan for every skill level and body type, because sometimes taking lessons and putting in hours of practice aren’t the only ways to improve your game. Ernie Els’ Guide to Golf Fitness will help you design a program focusing on four key areas:

* Cardiovascular fitness
* Flexibility
* Muscle strength
* Avoiding common golf injuries

This program was designed by Ernie’s personal trainer, David Herman, and together they encourage you to train to prevent injuries and improve your confidence and mental focus, both on and off the course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book 28 Jun 2007
By C. Turner
Format:Paperback
Fantastic book for golfers who are looking into a golf specific fitness regime. Outlines clearly what to do and what to avoid to reduce unwanted tension and injuries resulting from working out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very basic! 5 Oct 2009
By SupremeDalek
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'd recommend getting "Total Golf Conditioning" instead of this - pretty obvious stuff with little of practical interest. Plus TGC has a DVD to accompany the book so you can actually see the exercises/stretches demo'd. Alright for a complete novice who has never read anything about basic strength/flexibility training, but for everyone else steer clear!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ernie Els' Guide to Golf Fitness 31 July 2000
By al woodruff - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
As the owner of a national exercise and rehabilitation equipment company and after reading this book I give this book a 5 star rating. From the first page I realized how easy it is to follow and implement into my life. This book not only addresses excellent protocols to increase driving power, add touch, and reduce injuries, but explains WHY the exercises are done! So, if you know you weakness, or already have low back, or shoulder pain (most common), then, this book is for you! This book makes it much easier to address your weakness and then turn around and get the results your looking for out on the golf course!

The key to a successful book is the results the reader gets out of it! My hats off to the team who put this one together!

1.0 out of 5 stars Filler, Not Information 6 Jun 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Like everyone, I wanted to know what Ernie Els did, so I bought the book. Cover looks great, but information is a re-hash and borrowing of other books, neither original(read these concepts elsewhere) or in-depth(less exercises than the other books on amazon). The part about arranging workouts was the only worthwhile section. Golf nutrition in 3 pages? The other books out are much better, buy a new dozen golf balls instead of this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Below Average-Get a basic training book(s) instead 19 July 2000
By David Leonard - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The only plaudit I had for this was Els tells people fitness is good for golf. That has become obvious, so what's best for me? I would get a stretching book, a weight lifting book and something on nutrition before I would buy this again or recommend it to my golfing friends. Unlike Els drives, this was a hook into the woods.
