Titlelist has huge name recognition in the golfing community amongst the general recreational golfer as well as teaching professionals. . . .

No More Sit-Ups and Crunches
Anthony Renna
Although they have never really been much of a staple in my program design, I have stopped doing any sit-ups and crunches with my clients. In the past, I have had my clients doing some stick crunches and medicine ball sit ups during my core routine (along with bridges, planks and quadruped exercises). I had heard about other coaches taking them out of their programs, particularly Coach Boyle, and although I thought he made sense, I didn't feel I really needed to eliminate them since they were a small part of the program. . . .

Power Development for Golf with Mike Boyle on the Golf Channel's show Golf Fitness Academy
Mike Boyle
Episode Details: Using something as simple as a foam roller Mike shows how to increase the elasticity in your muscles, by rolling out any knots that are causing tightness and inhibiting your ability to increase your range of motion. The first segment will attack your glutes which are a key muscle in stabilizing your pivot. Then Mike shows how to use a foam roller to increase the range of motion in your thoracic spine. This will help your rotation in the backswing which will help increase your power. The Shoulder and Lat mobilization techniques are next which will help increase the width of your backswing and give you the ability to add speed to your swing... . . .

Power Training for the Adult Golfer - Part 3, Core Training For Golf
Michael Boyle
Audio Interview Included Core training is really about re-teaching yourself or your clients how to move. I know, you think core training is about crunches and situps. This is not what core training is about at all. Core training is about having a stable center around which to move all these problematic attachment points. Remember our previous point about all the injuries being where the limbs attach. The bottom line is that we will move. It's up to you to make sure that things move correctly. . . .

Power Development for the Adult Golfer -- A Functional Approach Part 1
Michael Boyle
I have a confession to make. I know very little about golf. I have trained golfers but I don't play. If this is the case, why should you continue to read? Because I do understand sports and how the body moves. Some consider me to be one of the world's foremost authorities on training for ice hockey, and I never played that either. The fact of the matter is what many people tell you about training for golf is absolute crap. My goals are simple. 1- To encourage you to think. 2- To give you tools to use to improve your golf game. 3- To get you to see power for golf from a different perspective. . . .
