I only do the 10 minute energy drills twice a day, its given me an extra 5-10 yards and more importantly my back is always stretched before and after a round.

Yoga, pilates, and limit how much you sit down in chairs throughout the day (swing killer because your hamstrings get tight and abs get weak) and just good overall fitness. Oh and swing training to prevent muscle imbalances between your left and right side (swing a heavy club opposite your dominant side i.e. natural righty swings heavy club lefty)

Yoga and general stretching. Really just started to get back into these things over the last three weeks. Went to the range on Thursday and I could already feel an improvement, mainly in consistency.

What I love=hitting the ball long way. What I hate=stretching and working out. Love trumps hate... I stretch and workout and try to act like I am enjoying it. Losing 20 pounds over the past few years did not hurt either.

Seriously, I use a personal trainer and it is worth it to have someone who knows and tailors your workouts to the game you play. Getting serious about working out has clearly added (or at the least maintained) distance in my game, even at an age when distance should begin to show signs of shortening. All my workouts are at least 50 percent or more stretching and range of motion activities. Just do it -- it is worth it.

I started stretching religiously about a month ago and have already noticed quite a difference. I have an ellipitical, do a strength/flexibility/balance routine, and play hockey, but the common thread in all three has been the stretching routine at the end.

      Turning Stone - Thoughts & Updates?

      By StuM · Posted

      I was recently told that Turning Dtone in New York is a nice overall resort and they’ve they have 3 courses as well as many other amenities. A quick TST search turned up older threads with a lot of comments on how difficult the courses are. Does anybody know if they have “relaxed” the courses over the years or are they still hard as far as resort courses go? I do not mind a hard course but my wife can get frustrated but if good scenery and good course conditions she may still enjoy a hard course. What are your thoughts on their courses and the resort in general? Edited for typos

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.
