I was an All-American collegiate golfer and achieved success on the mini-tours in 2006.
After I began working with Robert Prichard and using the principles of The Efficient Golfer, I increased my average tee shot from 275 to 290 without sacrificing any accuracy, and also began hitting my irons half a club further than I had before.
I didn't do any weight lifting or extensive workouts, I just increased my flexibility and made my swing more efficient!
Before Prichard's training, my best shots were a 7. Now, they are a 10.
I also had a tendency to miss short putts under pressure because of the tension in my hands and arms during my putting stroke. With Prichard's putting principles it is IMPOSSIBLE to yip a putt, all you have to do is point and shoot and the ball will go right where you are aiming.

"I've improved my LPGA putting statistics from 1.86 (T 112) in 2004 to 1.81 (T 27) in 2005. I have also quadrupled my income as a player, and won my first tournament in two years."
I am now into my second year of working with Robert Prichard and I couldn't be happier about the results that I have seen from his work with me. He has enabled me to work on my game with no pain in my body. He has improved my flexibility in areas I didn't even know were of any importance to golf.
I have never seen a program that is as individualized as this one and that carries as many benefits. I have improved all of my statistics on Tour by becoming more flexible and tension free.
After the first year of my program, I have improved my LPGA putting statistics from 1.86 (T 112) in 2004 to 1.81 (T 27) in 2005 (Putts per Green in Regulation) and my head movement has decreased dramatically.
I have also quadrupled my income as a player, and won my first tournament in two years, both of which have made me very happy.

LPGA and Euro tours
"The first time I went out and played golf after seeing you, I shot a 67, five under par!
I was so relaxed and carefree that I felt like I was 16 years old again".
Before I saw you I was struggling for accuracy with my driver, hitting it 280 yards or so. Now, my drives are less erratic and I am able to get a bigger shoulder and hip turn, hitting my driver consistently 300 yards or more, with less effort. I have also had to recalibrate how far I hit my irons, picking up an additional 10 to 15 yards per club.
Putting has become much easier as well. I was putting well statistically before I saw you, averaging 29 putts per round. However, this came at a great personal expense. In tournaments, I would find my stomach in knots and my neck/head and forearms were shaking over putts. So, even though the ball went in the hole, it wasn't much fun.
I noticed that when I would putt before I saw you that the ball might go in the hole but it was skidding or the line was wobbling. Now, the ball rolls pure - end over end. It's so much easier and smoother, when I get going on the practice green, I'll make ten 6 to 8 footers in a row without even lining it up!
Having taken lessons from a famous golf instructor for years was a waste of time and money. I just couldn't put my body in the positions he wanted, or move like he instructed. It was not a lack of effort either. At times I was hitting balls for 7 hours/day and still not making progress! I started believing that it was talent or some gift that let other people swing or move a certain way.
Of course, now it makes perfect sense that lacking flexibility will negatively affect my golf swing. Since I wasn't able to turn my hips, I would have to make some kind of compensation in my swing. I didn't make this connection until I saw you.
You definitely gave me more than I expected with your program.
My swing technique got drastically better. And my stress and tension levels have come down tremendously. Feeling better on the golf course is one thing, but even more impressive are the changes in my personal life. My wife says that I am a totally different person now (for the better) than I was a year ago. I'm handling problems now with greater ease and confidence, and have a more relaxed disposition. It is amazing how much your entire life can be impacted from tension and pain!
I would highly recommend your program to anyone wanting to improve their athletic performance or suffering from tightness, stiffness or pain. As well as, anyone who is looking to reduce their stress and tension levels. I look forward to working with you further and becoming even more flexible and relaxed.
Thank you for all your help and ongoing support.
Best Regards

Perfect Your Golf Swing
Most golf books are about "tips" or swing plane theories. To improve golf swing mechanics you don't need tips or theories. You need to increase the precision of your ball striking!
The path to golf swing perfection is simple and sensible. To perfect any process you must first measure it.
Just looking at slow motion videos or still photos of your golf swing is not enough. Your video analysis must include measurements.
Examples
You know your spine angle and front spine angle are important.
You don't know how to measure them, or what they should be.
The Efficient Golfer teaches you exactly how and what to measure and what results to seek.
You know drive distance depends on how far you rotate away from the ball at the top of your backswing. Do you know how to measure these ranges? Or how many degrees they should be? The Efficient Golfer shows you.
You know you need to generate hip speed on the downswing. Do you know how to measure your hip speed, or what it should be? The Efficient Golfer shows you that too.
You know you start your downswing sequence from the ground up. Do you know how to measure the separation you need between the timing of your legs, hips, shoulders, arms and hands? The Efficient Golfer shows you why separation is critical.
Get Better Faster
Going from a handicap of 5 to a 2 requires much more precision than going from a 15 to a 10. Precision like this can be perfected either by years of tedious practice or by just a few months of measurement and correction.
Just as measurement and analysis have improved the efficiency of your golf clubs, measuring and analyzing your swing mechanics will improve the efficiency of your golf swing. It makes perfect sense.
You don't have to buy software or use a computer to make these measurements. All you need is a camcorder, a common protractor and The Efficient Golfer.
Here's one of our pro golfers before we worked with her. Her spine angle changes from 40° to 28° in the 0.3 seconds it takes to go from the top of her backswing to impact.
Now look at her spine angle after measurement and correction.
This change alone improved her accuracy so much she was able toquadruple her tour income in just one year.
Learn Your Strengths and Weaknesses
You play golf with your body. Like most pros and single-digit players, you probably follow some form of fitness regimen.
But just how flexible do you need to be for golf?
And how strong do you need to be?
Only The Efficient Golfer shows you how to measure your flexibility and strength for golf.
For instance, you need 60° of internal hip rotation for an unimpeded backswing.
Do you know how much internal hip rotation you have?
You won't know unless you measure. The Efficient Golfershows you how.
If you have less than 60° of internal hip rotation, you'll tend to slide your hips. This makes it more difficult to square your clubface at impact. Less than 60° of internal hip rotation also increases your chance of developing low back pain.
More than Measurement
You'll learn even more than how to objectively evaluate your swing:
- A simple address position greatly improves ball striking
- The secret downswing move of history's top five golfers
- Using your stomach muscles for more consistent putting
- Simple tests of muscle strength
- Common training routines which can ruin your golf game
- Identifying flexibility problems affecting your golf swing
- The best golf training aids to improve your swing efficiency

A better swing. Better scores.
Isn't that what it's all about?
The Efficient Golfer will be your guide to the perfect golf swing. It's a handsomely designed trade paperback of 173 pages, with more than 160 drawings.

We also invite you to view our very successful Power Hip Trainer, the only aerobic exercise machine to add 25 mph or more to your swing speed.
It does this by taking advantage of the speed multiplier built into every golfer: just a one mile an hour increase in hip speed will add 25 mph to your swing speed.
Strengthening your hips with the Power Hip Trainer will also lower your handicap. A university study found that scratch golfers had the strongest hips of all golfers tested.
