Hi Mike,

Just wanted to give you an update on my overall performance this season. It was my best season ever!! Last year, I struggled to break 100. This year I finally broke 90 for the first time!!! The strength and flexibility training has made a huge difference to my game, My drives are longer and straighter(no more banana slice), and I’m more accurate in the fairway. I get better every year, thanks to your program. Money well spent.

Thanks again

Jared,

That is fantastic! Congrats on breaking 90! You will be breaking 80 within another season keeping this up! I’m very proud to hear you’ve done so well, and you recognize fitness as being part of that success. Kudos to you:)

Best,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Per an earlier email to you, I just picked up the game of golf as the age of 54. The reason why so late is that I had to give up my other sports, softball and racquetball due to knee replacement surgery from a very old football injury. Being an exercise type of guy, I looked and found your information/teaching/products to be enlightening and educational.

Over the last 3 years with your strength and flexibility training techniques (particularly in the shoulder turn), I have progressed from the 120’s the first year to 110’s the second year and now low 90’s. I am now 57 and just broke 90 for the first time this year as well as scoring a 39 for nine for the first time…..

I’m a believer that in order to maintain consistency, the body must have a “capacity” to perform. Typically that capacity is larger when you are younger and more limited as we age. By working on the body, I can maintain a degree of fitness to “allow” me to improve and play the game……even if the putting comes and goes.

Take care and thanks,
Mike N

Hello Mike.
I only became aware of your programmes a month ago and already golf has become far easier. I am in my sixties and find that I am putting far less effort into swinging the club and getting better results. I have never done any formal exercises before and are not really familiar with organising a gym routine. What would help me, and no doubt many of your followers, would be to have some guidence on a series of daily exercise programmes of 15-30 mins, that varies the excercises whilst using all of the required muscle groups. Would it be possible to do that for us Mike?
Best regards
Bryn

Well, your program gave me the courage to pick up my game after a 25 year hiatus. I am now 65 and two shoulder surgeries later. I am very happy to report that I am practicing and have even taken lessons. Oh yes, and a game or two. However, I overdid everything and wound up with golf elbow , and I’m using your exercises to rehab. I’m about to get out to the driving range, slowly. Thanks for the help.

Mike, You are right on target with this program; The only part of the whole golf picture that has not improved in 20 years is Fitness; The technology of the clubs, shafts, balls, etc is infinitely improved, and instruction with video, lauch and spin-rate monitors, etc is fantastic; What remains??……..the Player; Too many players cannot get into proper positioning in order to hit consistant shots, and they lack the stamina to perform over a 4 hour timeframe. Keep up the good work;.. Rob

Frankly, have not been actively and consistently doing all your fitness exercises and suggestions. Am still struggling for consistency in my game…scores fluctuatign from 83 to 100. Of course, lately have been suffering from pain on my right arm bicep from the shoulder down…this has not helped for my consistency or for scores. I think I have a nagging problem with a sprain or muscle/nerve pinch …and can use some thoughts.

Promise to do better with your fitness suggestions.

I am a golf fitness instructor in Florida and have many success stories with my students. I have a 33y/o dentist who started out shooting in the low 90’s and now, due to increased lower body flexibility and posture awareness, is shooting high 70’s low 80’s. I have a 24 y/o client who is going to be playing on the “Victory Tour”next year who has improved her upper body strength and lower body balance through core strengthening and high level balance exercises. I have another female student, in her 50’s, that through improving her flexibility she has improved her tempo of her golf swing and hits more consistent golf shots.

Hi Mike, Perhaps U did not get previuos message Have been sick with a flu virus for weeks and today went out for a comp round of golf Did some swing excercise prior to going and guess what had a round of 96 much better than my 108 to 115 over recent times. so Thanks Mike I will keep up the work Drives are strighter and longer my playing partners say I am now a boring player as I am nearly always in the middle of the fairway with my shots so there.
Thanks Mike
