I am going to be playing in 3 major amateur tournaments. They are U.S. Pub Linx, U.S. Amateur, and the Ohio Amateur. As some of you know I have quit smoking and am about to start P90x, a rigorous workout routine, that will help not only with my strength, but more importantly my flexibility and cardio. Are any of you going to be playing in these tournaments and if so have you played in them in the past and how have you done?

I also am going to be playing in 3 or 4 tournaments. I am playing in the Ohio Am, US Mid Am, Ohio Publinx, and maybe the US Publinx. The US Publinx depends on the Ohio Am qualifier, because the US Publinx and the Ohio Am take place in the same week in July. I have been away from competitive golf for a couple years now. I finished up playing college golf then went into the real world and haven't played amatuer tourneys in a while. I have rededicated myself and hope to get back to my old form. I have only played in the Ohio Amatuer, back in 2002, and I finished 35th.

If you are looking for more tournaments you should check out the Ohio Publinx. I am on the Board of Directors for the OPGA. It is a good tourney and is usually won by college golfers and top amatuers in Ohio. If you want details just let me know or you can go to www.opga.us .

Just played in the Ohio Amateur on Tuesday and qualified with a 75 on a par 70. I finished bogey bogey bogey, but kept it together. There were 12 golfer's tied at 75 and there was only 1 spot left with 3 alternate spots. I birdied the first hole and watched as everyone else made par or worse. It was a great feeling to keep it together and get that last spot. Now it's on to the championship in July.

First off, best of luck to you. I have never played competitively, but would love to if I can start playing at a competitive level. What courses are you going to be playing on?

I played on Tuesday out at Rattlesnake Ridge. Shot 74 and qualified. Can't wait until Moraine! It is a really nice course. I tried to give shots away during my round. The wheels started to come off in the middle of my round, but kept it together and ended up making 15 pars, a bogey, a birdie, and a double bogey to shoot the 74 (+2).

Moraine is just up the road. I haven't played there, but I hear it is VERY nice. A lot of old money there.

Congrats on qualifying guys!! I am about to start playing in tournaments later this year. This will be my first time as well. This year I am working on my game and I am entering the tournaments just for the experience. That way next year I will know what is going on when I have the game to compete.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
