Golf fitness

During our fifty years designing courses we have always tried to wed the best of old and new. Our first experiences playing St. Andrews Old Course and many classic venues in Scotland, Ireland and England grounded us in a style of design that favors nature’s unpredictability. We fell in love with the eccentricities that dominate early layouts like Prestwick, Nairn, Cruden Bay, Royal Dornoch and Royal County Down, and the work of Old Tom Morris, James Braid, Harry S. Colt and Donald Ross.

As a lifelong golfer, I am honored to be writing a book about the game I have loved for many years and the sport that has been a binding thread in my family for five decades. I have always been an avid athlete, playing many sports, with a consistent commitment to physical fitness. Years ago I discovered yoga by playing a round with a new friend, a woman who was a five handicap golfer. At the time I was playing to a twentyfour handicap and I wanted what she had! Oddly enough, though she was a marathon runner and avid golfer, my friend’s yoga experience had a dramatic effect...

For centuries, golf was considered a game in which the royal, elite, and privileged participated in a leisurely fashion (or so they thought). Then came advances in golf course design and golf equipment, which increased the demands for physical skill and brought out the likes of Snead, Hogan, Player, Palmer, and Nicklaus.

Mark Twain commented on golf by saying, “it is a good walk spoiled.” You might gather that he was not a golfer. You’d be wrong. He was, but like most, he was continually frustrated by the game. Certainly there are those days when “it is a good walk spoiled,” but thankfully there are moments when it is “a good flight made better.” I’m passionate about three things in life: flying, golfing, and dining.

Several years ago someone told me that once you hit thirty-five you have to work harder just to keep playing golf at the same level. I want to play until I’m fifty-five, and I don’t want to be one of those guys just barely clinging to the PGA Tour. I want to keep getting better and I want to win. So when I turned thirty-five, I hired Boris Kuzmic as my personal trainer and started working out. I liked Boris’s background as both a professional golfer and fitness expert, and with the workout plan he designed for me, my torso strength and flexibility improved and my clubhead speed increased,..

It has long been a startling fact regarding Americans that so soon as their school-days were over they largely abandoned athletics; until, in middle life, finding that they had been controverting the laws of nature, they took up golf or some other form of physical exercise. The result of such a custom has been to lower the physical tone of the race. Golf is a fine form of exercise, but in an exceedingly mild way. No one claims that it will build up atrophied muscles nor, played in the ordinary way, that it will induce deep breathing; nor, except in warm weather, that it will...

I have been strongly advised to write a book on golf, and now I offer a volume to the great and increasing public who are devoted to the game. So far as the instructional part of the book is concerned, I may say that, while I have had the needs of the novice constantly in mind, and have endeavoured to the best of my ability to put him on the right road to success, I have also presented the full fruits of my experience in regard to the fine points of the game, so that what I have written...
