I may be just returning to golf, but I have spent many years in the gym. I feel I need to add that the Olympic lifts are some of the most technically demanding moves in sports.
Before you even consider the Olympic Clean and Press, develop your front squat. The balance and flexability requirements are much greater than the powerlifting squats.
Before you ever attempt a snatch, work on the overhead squat. Start out using no weight at all, just the bar. Make sure that you're getting your a** to the grass on those moves.
You will be amazed at the stress placed on your body with no weight. That overhead squat is a killer. I went from squatting 550# powerlifting to 65# overhead squatting. The pressure is all in the shoulders and back. Be careful, and have fun with it.

Thanks for all the great feed back and advice. I actually saw those same videos on youtube and he seemed the most knowledgable and the comments were very positive. I understand where I need to deliver the bar and the sequence of events that happen. I've had an achy back the past couple of months and I'd like to not make it worse so form is really important to me in all my workouts.

Once my legs heal, I'm going to give it a shot, then I'll post back.

Thanks again.
