4. If so, what type of program?

5. Does your home golf course provide exercise programs?

6. Have you ever done yoga?

1) No

2) 50-100

3) Yes

4) A combination of different sources of information, mostly a lot of free weights

5) No

6) No

7) Yes

None of these were answered with regards to alleviating pain, only to improve to the swing, i don't have any significant body pain that limits my mobility in any way.

With the popularity of P90X I'm surprised more people here haven't tried yoga, it's one of the modules. That was my first experience. Far and away the most difficult thing in the program for me. It helps with flexibility but I had no unrealistic expectation I'd ever get yoga fit or anything. Requires a lot of dedication.

3.)  Yes.

4.)  Stretching, resistance training, cardio.

5.)  No.

6.)  Yes.

7.)  Yes.

8.)  A lot of traditional yoga includes spiritual garbage that renders it unappealing.  A dedicated sports yoga program would be fine.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
