Customer Reviews

A must-read for any Golfer!

If this book gets the reader-ship it deserves, my livelihood could be in danger! I am a massage therapist in a desert resort area with over 100 courses and, in my many years of practice, I often come across clients who, at one time or another, suffered an injury from playing golf; indeed, I consider golf a most "body UN-friendly sport" and, along with computers, to be among the many reasons people have massages. This book contains so much useful & concise information relating to prevention & rehabilitation of injuries and, coupled with the extensive, informative & easy-to-use DVD that accompanies the book, anyone with the right mindset can quickly & easily learn how to improve their game & avoid injury. In fact, even non-golfers can benefit from the easy-to-understand exercies which are grouped into highly viewable segments on the DVD & augmented by information contained in the book. In short, get the book, read it & watch the DVD. Better yet, have a personal consultation with Dr. Dill & get a customized program to make your game more "body friendly"; just don't forget to book a massage with your favorite therapist.

Ouch, this might hurt...!

After reviewing your Body Friendly Golf book & the accompanying DVD, I have to say that if this gets widespread reader- & viewer-ship, my massage therapist business could be in trouble! For many years I have been performing massage on golfers ( & others) who flock to our desert resort area, plus residents who live here & play on a regular basis. Along with computers, I would rank the sport of golf as one of the many reasons we massage therapists will never run out of clients. I consider golf to be a "body UN-friendly" activity, due to the number of clients I have encountered who have injured themselves or just tied their body up in knots while playing. If they were to read your book & watch the DVD, they could learn how to customize a set of exercises & warm-up drills that would not only improve their game, but make them more flexible & fit, overall. Even for myself, given the stresses of my work, I could quickly see how valuable the range of exercises are for me...a non-golfer...so I have no hesitation in saying this book is a "must read" for golfers or anyone interested in improving overall body fitness & flexibility. The excellent DVD menu makes it so easy to select a set of exercises to do, with references to book pages & instructions; one could choose a different set each session & find themself in better shape in no time! So disregard the title of my review, it might not hurt at all & you just might find yourself "swinging a new tune" on the course...better yet, treat yourself to a personal consultation & fitness program & surprise your friends at the next tournament. And don't forget to schedule a massage session with your therapist soon!
