Gray Cook, The Squat, and Golf

It's strange to me that people still don't get that strength, range of motion, stability, and mobility are important to all, regardless of goal and task.

Trust me, it's no fun to only become aware of weaknesses after you've suffered numerous losses and injuries because of them.
