I do squats, lunges, leg curls, leg extensions, calf raises, as well as some back exercises and it definitely helps my iron distance. I used to bench press a lot more but stopped because it started hurting my flexibility.

I tell my good friend what club to hit and what shot to hit a lot. But the thing is is that HE ASKS ME. I have seen a lot of people who try to tell others how to hit it which is ok if the person asks you but when they don't I agree its'...

If I hit anything from a 2-5 it is at least 185 away, so getting on the green is great if it happens to get close then that's super. I would much rather have a 30-40 2 putt then worrying about getting up and down.
