Does anyone have any exercises that they do that are golf specific? I recently read Steve Elkingtons book and he had a very golf specific workout in the back...very good stuff if you havent yet read the book.

With work, kids, and life getting in the way of my practice time; I suppose I was looking for ideas that one could do in there living room. Strength training? Flexibility? Stretches? Anything that you may have had success with?

Butch Harmon's Cornerstones of Winning Golf had exercises in it too. I think one of John Daly's books did also, for that matter.

There's also mytpi.com ,which I highly recommend.

I'd type my routine, but it changes so often...

I would recommend going to speak to someone that can identify your weaknesses. There might be a well trained and full time fitness professional on this site but even that person wouldn't be able to properly diagnose you.

TPI is great and there is probably a specialist in your area but most players, and almost all amatuers could benefit more from a full body, overall fitness program rather than golf specific. Most golf specific exercises are a variation of yoga and pilates anyway.

I do some weight lifting and stretches. I should stretch more but o well. I mainly focus on upper body strength and core strength. It's not a perfect workout routine but I'm not a pro so anything I do is better than nothing. If you lift a lot you'll have to worry about losing flexibility but if you can stay flexible it will definitely help your golf game.

I've been doing the TRX golf workout designed by TPI for the last couple of months. Combo of strength and stretching. Saves going to the gym. I like the results. I've tweaked it to up the difficulty some. I like the range of motion and strengthening movements for the shoulder especially, but that's my weak area.

    • I'm thinking of handing these out at the tournament I play every year. Maybe put them in the welcome kit.  Ball Mark Repair Tips Stickers - 20/package USGA Members, please sign in to receive your Member discount: Sign In These 4" W x 6" L eye-catching stickers provide ball mark repair tips. 20 per package. Official USGA publication. Become a USGA Member and save today! Too bad their stickers and not laminated cards.  They should really hand them out at the city league golf course on the first league night of the year. 👍  
    • I've been looking at this one but haven't pulled the trigger yet: Amazon.com   During Christmas they were 20% off.  I don't see that price now.  
    • I got the ridge wallet that has the elastic strap to hold the money. The ridge wallet itself is built great. I am getting use to using the built in strap. I had the one in the image above with the metal money clip and it worked great.  Since I got my 2nd one, I use the old ridge wallet for gift cards and misc cards.   
    • I have exactly 11 cards in mine right now.  Here's some pix of it with 11 cards and 18 bills.
