I started doing push-ups and sit-ups a couple months ago mainly just for physical appearance but ive noticed i have gained about 20-25 yards on my drives over the course of this time. I hated it when i started but now its a habit, and i feel weird when i don't do it. Just wondering if im alone or if anyone else works out.

I work out, mainly for golf. I'm probably the skinniest bastard you'll ever know, and I do the normal gym workout with free weights, then I go to golf specific exercises such as core twists, and stretching my body, for a better body turn. But being the short knocker off the tee and fairway, I need all the distance I can.

Funny: I took up working out for the golf benefits (which eventually did materialize), and the physical appearance bonus came about.

I have worked out off and on for a long time, mostly lifting weights, though you wouldn't know it unless I told you... Right now is an "off" time until my daughter is old enough that I get some free time again. Because, of course, the very little free time I have now is entirely consumed with golf...

I thought most everyone worked out in some way or another whether to help their game or not. Ive worked out with weights for about 15 years, though the last couple years ive stopped lifting heavy at the gym and have some dumbells i use at home and run for aerobic exercise. I guess i see some benefits on the course, helps keep me stronger and more flexible and not as tired toward the end of the round. Im about 5'11" and just under 200 lbs and work out also to maintain my weight and fitness level. Even playing and practicing although i dont do either for exercise, im sure you do burn some calories which also helps keep my weight at a managable level.

I work out, more so for my appearance and to be strong than for golf. Having a lot of core strength does help for golf though because it helps you maintain your balance which allows you to swing harder and not lose balance.
I do a lot of pushups and situps (about 150 a day of each) as well as bench press, arm curls and squats.
I also do cycling for cardio. I ride my bike about 30 minutes a day.

I work out for lacrosse and football at school. Which is mainly strength training, and I do more chrome work at home, like shaping and tightening muscles.

I do. Here lately I've the 300 work out to gain some mass (bad ass regimen if you want to try something new), but usually I just stick to workouts that use my own body weight as resistance. I'm a avid runner and train for half marathons (hopefully the full Music City Marathon next year) however I'm not built like a typical runner at all-- 5'9" and 165lbs.

What's crazy is how stamina golf takes. This is my first season of golf and I started with the preconceived notion that golf wasn't really an athletic sport. With how hot its been, its crazy how much 18 can drain you.

Working out has been my hobby longer than golf. 6'3" 220lbs 10% body fat I do find it does help with my power as I'm a naturally (and starting out) a little bit stronger than most..

I wish I could run like that, i just cant push myself to run idk what it is about it. The only way i can get any cardio in is basketball pretty much lol.

Yeah I am a big guy and can smash it a mile but I prefer to swing easy like Ernie and keep it straight. I am 6'0" and range from 225-235......used to box for years and just retired from MMA fighting about 2 years ago. Getting older and don't heal as fast. I had instructors tell me left and right "You need to quit working out for size" well this was not gonna happen so I found another big guy for lessons and he has taught me how to use my size and frame to the best I can. I have shortened my backswing a lot and am closer to 3/4 and have actually gained a few yards and far more accurate.

I work out very regularly and still work out for size so mobility suffers but I am harnessing it quit well lately. I do get a lot of looks on the first tee with my size, shaved head and multiple tattoos and a full sleeve on my left arm. I get the "OMG this oughta be good" look a lot until I get up there and stripe one down the fairway......god I love that feeling!

Ah you definitely can, especially being 16. Just start off slow and short, and work up from there. Its crazy how fast you can progress if you stay on it. 3 months and 5k races won't be a big deal.

Yeah, I lift 2-3x per week, just to maintain a little bit of strength, and I run 4-5x per week. I starting running about 4 years ago, and now it's one of my main hobbies.

    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
