* The ideal warm-up exercises for golfers
* Techniques for simultaneously improving posture, balance, and strength
* Exercises to obtain yoga-quality levels of Flexibility
* Nine of the most common swing flaws, from "coming over the top" to the "chicken wing," with exercises designed by Roberts to overcome the physical deficiencies at the root of the problem
* A full workout program for better back health and stronger core muscles

Enhanced with one hundred photographs, Swing Flaws and Fitness Fixes is an invigorating new approach that solves age-old golfing woes.
