Core Performance Golf: Revolutionary Training & Nutrition for Success On and Off the Course | Rodale

Elevate Your Golf Game with Core Performance Golf

Rodale's Core Performance Golf blends a rotation-focused training framework with a practical nutrition plan, built from Mark Verstegen's work with elite athletes and numerous PGA/LPGA players. This program translates high-performance ideas into actionable steps for golfers at every level, helping you approach practice and play with greater purpose.

The core idea centers on movement that mirrors the golf swing—rotation, balance, and controlled tempo. The book guides you through routines that develop torque and sequencing, helping you feel steadier through the swing and more confident at impact, whether you’re tinkering with your grip or refining your stance.

Beyond the gym, the program includes a conditioning and nutrition regimen designed to build strength, power, and stamina while supporting recovery and reducing downtime between sessions or rounds. Clear, realistic schedules help you stay consistent, so you can see gradual progress without overload.
