When I volunteered to review Body Friendly
Golf by Dr. J. Darcy Dill, I thought it was a textbook for the treating doctor. It is interesting reading
for the doctor and quite useful for your patients, but it is definitely geared
toward the amateur and professional golfer. It is simple and easy to read, and
Dr. Dill does a good job explaining basic anatomy and exercises. There is a
companion DVD (included) that walks through all the orthopedic tests, swing
analysis and exercises that he goes over in the book. This book is geared toward
making you healthier for golf and subsequently an improved game. This book does
not discuss technique and is not for coaching specifically, although your swing
may be improved.
The common scenario seen in clinical practice with golfers as they age is
that they progressively lose core strength and lose hip and shoulder
flexibility. This is common in the non-golfer also, but that loss of hip/shoulder
flexibility and core strength significantly affects the golf game. The older golfers
become "arm swingers" with no body involvement and subsequently lose a great deal
of distance and accuracy with their golf swing. Dr. Dill's program will
specifically increase core strength and hip flexibility along with shoulder flexibility. As
a consequence of this, your golf game will be improved and your golf life will
be extended.
I highly recommend this book for your patients and golfer friends. We have
a small lending library in our office, and I will certainly add this book to
the collection for my patients to use.
