I'm in Michigan and have really taken golf seriously this year. I'd like to try and play a couple of local tournaments next year for the experience, and I've been making great progress over the last six months.

I'm going to get out probably two or three more times at the most. Then its snow and ice for four months. What does everyone do to keep sharp and to keep your muscles working and stretched.

yep, i'm conditioning right now with tiger 09 as a matter of fact.

i do a lot of stretching just for overall health but you could pick up some that are golf specific

i work out my core muscles and back muscles a lot since this is where power is transferred from the hips, legs, arms, and shoulders to the club

think about what muscles get sore if you havent played in a while then go out and walk 18, try to keep those muscles up to par

**remember to work on the rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) as there are numerous sports related injuries from lack of support in the rotator cuff

knees are also a common point of injury since there is so much torque being placed on them

or you can take the john daly approach and say that if you wanted to have to work out you would play football

I bench a few days a week, and work out on "Perfect Pushups". I started doing some core training too. I would suggest focusing on core muscles and legs. (for stamina) Running wouldn't hurt

go to my health club, and lift. specifically focusing on the arms, shoulders, core and back (above the waist). for below the waist, i sometimes go for runs, and play basketball. Im on my hs tennis team as well as golf, so the tennis keeps me in good shape during the spring, so playing tournaments on the weekends is not a problem.

being fit is very important, why do you think tiger is so good besides his mental strength? Also do you think camillo would have won multiple times on the pga tour if he wasn't ripped...god knows his swing is awful.

Even though it's 65 out right now I'm starting to get back into concentrating on overall fitness for the "winter". I started the p90x program after having been a triathlete for many years and then studying for the bar and starting work and plumping up. It's a great, fairly low impact workout that has already helped with the core and flexibility. If you can grab one cheap, and can commit to about 1hr/day, I'd look into it.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
