Summary

GS#479 March 10, 2015  Roger Fredericks is one of the most important and prominent golf fitness experts in the world. His clients (and friends) include Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus.

Combine them all and you can focus on playing golf, not just swinging the club. Roger also speaks at length about his relationship with the Big 3 of Arnie, Gary & Jack, stretching exercises, and the effects of poor posture on the future of your game.

target, their visualization is dramatic. Arnold told me the first time I worked with him that the only thing that he tried to do in his golf swing was with his right hand feel like he's shaking hands and touching the target.
