I wanted to see how many of you have done the Core Performance Golf workout by Mark Verstegen?  I have done (and own) his Core Performance workout, but not the golf oriented one.  I am looking to maybe buy the golf version if it is really different.  So if any of you guys out there have done the golf or both, please give me some feedback on it.

I am looking to get into better shape overall and around my core.  Having done this workout I know that I will also benefit in my golf game as well (due to being a 4 sport athlete in HS and a D1 collegiate football player).

I would highly recommend the Core Performance workout to anyone who is having low back pain, poor posture, weak shoulders/arms, hip pain/weakness.  The workout plan is a commitment, but it is well worth it.  Mark Verstegen has worked with plenty of world class athletes including, Nomar Garciapara, Mia Hamm, Tiger Woods, AJ Hawk and with athletes from a wide variety of other sports as well.  He also works with everyday working people to help improve posture and core strength, not just fine tuning elite athletes.

    • He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.
    • Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area. 
    • Day 18: a little under the weather, so just some mirror work while watching TV. 
    • That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂 
    • Day 316 - 2025-08-13 Mental rehearsals today for about 15 minutes as I'm kinda screwed up in some way. 😞
