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.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
