INTRODUCTION
Golfers, like many athletes, have momentary breakdowns in concentration, and
control of their physical body. A lower score versus too many bogeys, depends
not only on athletic training, but also on the condition of one’s physical body and
state of mind. Many books guide one through physical conditioning exercises, the
power of positive thinking, visualization, and other mind exercises specifically
tailored to the golfer. It is critical to remember that weighing the merit of advice
from the "pros" regarding different golf clubs and stroke control, is only part of the
equation to improve, and more importantly, enjoy one’s game. Today, valuable
nutritional information resulting from ever-increasing research, is available to
improve one’s health and sporting performance. Nutritional Leverage for Great
Golf is based on studies that are well documented. Leading health advocates and
organizations, like the American Heart Association (for example), herald much of
the food choice information. Nutritional Leverage for Great Golf focuses on
nutrition and how it affects your body’s performance. Some of this information
may be familiar, while other recommendations may dispel long standing myths
about diet. Also presented are new ways to use foods that can have a strong
influence not only on your game, but your long-term health as well. In addition to
the recommendations in this book, we encourage you to maintain a fitness
program. It is also advisable to follow an appropriate stretching regime, prior to
each golf outing. We cover the nutrient portion of a diet, but always keep in mind
that adding mind control, exercise, relaxation and laughter, make for a great
personal improvement for the whole being.
