Golfing Fitness

Hi All

This is my first post on here so be gentle J

Im not sure if this is in the right forum but never mind 

I have been injured for a few months (non golf related) and unable to play golf, im now on the road to recovery and as part of my route back to fitness ive decided to research and write a book on golf fitness in particular.

I have noticed a lot of fitness questions golfers generally have relating to hamstrings/back pain this is something I suffer with after 18 holes so will be keen to get some good solutions!

Apart from the above what are your general golf fitness questions?

What would you like to see in the book?

In return for your help I will let you have a copy of the book when its done J

Thanks 

Are there any solutions? if there are I would love to hear about them myself as I am struggling in continuing to play this wonderful game with my body falling to pieces.

Hi Darren,

I suffer from Sciatica but have become used to recognising the signs of it starting again. As soon as I fee the first tingle I take my anti inflammatory tablets but this does not usually stop me playing golf. I become restricted in my swing (can't follow through properly). It might be all the turning that a body does during a round of golf that helps me because I generally feel less pain in my back after a game than I do before a game. Is it the exercise that is easing my Sciatica? I don't know but it certainly seems to help me. Good enough excuse to go for a knock if you ask me.

Diabetic boy here since November 2008. A fitness programme to help my condition would be cool.

Already do gym 3 nights per week and golf once a week. However after playing 2 games and driving over 200 miles to play them I feel as if I have been introduced to one of our riot police pushers this morning.

For mobility try The Science of stretching written by Michael J Alter m.s. a gymnastic coach,and  an exellent book.
