Poorly presented A Customer This book has some very helpful information in it, but it also has some serious draw-backs.First, there are many areas in the book where seemingly important concepts are introduced, but then never fully explained or developed in context. For example, there is a section discussing the dichotomy between flexibility and stability as it relates the golf swing, but the authors never seem to relate this important issue to any other material or instruction in the book.Also, and perhaps most maddeningly, there are a number of exercise descriptions in the book that are incomprehensible or appear to be just plain incorrec. Complete Conditioning for Golf A Customer Did an OK job in explaining what exercises to do and how to do them.Could've done a better job in explaining how the specific muscle groups and exercises for these related to the improvement of the golf swing.Did a good job in laying a a few sample routines.Same obligatory chapter on nutritional information as seen in 2 dozen other fitness books.. "Eratic - Great in some parts, poor in others" according to A Customer. Especially good was the section on posture and stance, well thought out. However, the section on weight training exercises was a bunch of nautilus machine stuff, not very creative, and my club doesn't even have that stuff anymore.
