I purchased this book and am about 5 weeks into using the exercise program.

Ever since I had leukemia, chemo, a bone marrow transplant, the long hospital stau, and the resulting Graft vs. Host disease... I thought flexibility was my main problem.  Going through the tests in this book I discovered that in addition to my flexibility problems, I'm no longer very good at balance either.  I think they are related in that I'm stiff in my lower leg and ankles, that contributes to making it hard to balance on one leg

I am already sensing improvements, mostly in my flexibility.

I'm giving this book a thumbs up.

Note - don't get the Kindle version.  There are missing pictures and it's a really big hassle paging through a kindle to get to the exercise descriptions.  There are a lot of exercises that vary from routine to routine, and I've been prescribed 16 separate routines.  That's a lot of time spent paging trough a Kindle.  In an actual book you could mark down page numbers next to the exercises per routine and get to the descriptions easily.  I've ordered an actual book to replace my Kindle version.

@boogielicious, I've searched this site but can not find your review.  If you (or anyone else) can find it a link would be appreciated.

I am new to thesandtrap.com and this post I'm quoting (No Mulligans) is relatively old but I thought it was inspiring and glad I came across it.  To deal with everything you have gone through and then invest time in your fitness and health with the goal of playing better golf despite everything else is awesome.  Thanks for the motivation.  Also, I give Joey D a thumbs up.

Jumping in to follow. I am curious to hear how it goes for you

I've been sticking to the program for a while and am planning on continuing with it.  I am making improvements in my flexibility and balance. I'm enjoying the work outs and results.

Good to hear. I do it as a matter of routine now 2 to 3 times a week as part of my workout. I add in other items from my physical therapy exercises. Lately, I've been adding some other core and plyometric exercises to it. That has helped too.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
