I only go to the gym when the weather is too crappy to play golf.

I hate going, it's kind of boring ... but I need to do something other than sit around & get fat :)

Holy crap, nice one.

Thats a lot. You seen any improvments in your game? Phil Mickleson's lost a lot of weight too, looks good. x

3-4 times a week. At least 20 minutes of cardio each time I go. After cardio, I hit the weights for about 40-45 mins. And each day I mix in some different types of core training.

Um, no....... Not true. My handicap is the lowest it's been in my career. Just gotta get more consistent. And that's coming now.

Never worked out, unless walking the golf course and pressing a TV remote control are working out

3-4 Days a week lifting weights. I try to do some sort of cardio every day since I have an office job. Since I started back lifting weights (last December) I have noticed an improvement in my consistentency. My swing speed has increased as well.

Yes,

I workout everyday

sun: 2hrs soccer
mon: 4X400, stretch, Legs, Chest, Triceps, stretch, abs
tue: 6min bike, stretch, Delts, Back, Biceps, stretch, abs
wed: 3mile run, stretch, pull ups, max sit-ups in 2 minutes, dips, push ups
thu: 6min bike, stretch, Legs, Chest, Triceps, stretch, abs
fri: 4X400, stretch, Delts, Back Biceps, stretch, abs
sat: 3mile run, pull ups, max situps in 2 minutes, dips, pushups

Diet is also important. I eat a high protein moderate carbohydrate diet.

I do not think any of this exercise helps my golf game at all. From my experience when I keep my ball in play and my short game is on I play a lot better. In general it seems like CONSISTENCY and ACCURACY are the keys to golf.

    • Day 293 6-24 Low point control work. Noticed most of my fat shots are coming when the shaft is steeper. Ill have a bunch of good swings and then have a real chunky, deep divot.
    • Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
