Michael Cunningham’s Set Up Posture Patience presents golf improvement as a set of trainable skills rather than a collection of positions to imitate. Its central promise is practical: help golfers build a repeatable swing that holds up at speed and under pressure. The approach will appeal to players who have practiced diligently but struggle to carry range performance onto the course.
The book outlines a system covering setup, posture, patience, and what Cunningham calls the “Line of Compression” diagnostic framework. It also includes drills, six-day training plans for both off-season and in-season practice, short-game and bunker instruction, mental strategy, a certification progression, and a glossary.
That breadth suggests a handbook for structured practice, with material for coaches as well as committed golfers. The emphasis on diagnosis and progression is particularly appealing: readers are encouraged to understand what a drill is meant to develop, rather than simply repeat movements without a clear purpose.
Cunningham’s golf background gives the system a coaching context. Amazon describes him as a golf performance coach with more than 25 years of experience. The listing says he developed and field-tested the system at Forensic Golf Academy and now teaches through the Atlanta Golf & Fitness Club Performance Coaching Division.
It also reports that his coaching has helped junior golfers earn Division I opportunities. These details position the book as a distillation of applied coaching.
The excellently written book is a focused coaching manual rather than a memoir or broad introduction to golf. Golfers seeking an organized training framework may find its mix of swing, scoring, and mental preparation useful.
At 132 pages, the book appears compact enough to use alongside practice. It is listed in paperback format and can be purchased through Amazon.
