Slacker this week but managed 30 minutes spinning and some half-assed upper body moves while I was watching Supernatural reruns. Work related stress had me doing the 12 oz curls so not motivated to get out of bed and hit the weights.

Ran and did interval kettlebell training.  Even though haven't posted in a week, doesn't mean I've been slacking off in between ;-)

14 miles out on the bike then upper body resistance work. Have to work it as much as I can, having rotator cuff surgery mid October. Funny thing is I have no pain swinging a club, just doing other things.

Has anyone ever told you guys that bench press is bad for your golf swing? Like a bigger chest would hinder your golf swing?

I've had a lot of people tell me that lifting weights will kill a golf swing.  I think that's absurd.  As far as benching and a big chest, I don't think doing normal bench pressing is going to give you a chest that big. I could see Ronnie Coleman having problems, but not your average Joe.  I just don't think your chest will get big enough for you to worry about.

Looked at the high dollar treadmill covered up in the garage. Made sure my Total Gym was still safe in the back bedroom closet. Read over instructions on my half assembled AirDyne. Played with the dogs. Cleaned a hamster cage. Did three 12 ounce aluminum curls while strengthening my putting grip by typing on this forum.

I used to lift lots of heavy weights when I was playing football and when I was young and vain, and it is true that too much heavy lifting can ruin your flexibility. I knew gym rats that I played pickup b-ball with who had trouble lifting their arms over their heads to shoot jump shots.

That being said, unless you are power lifting 5 days a week with as much weight as your body can handle, bench pressing probably won't affect your game at all. Especially if you stretch often, or even do yoga. I've heard Tiger Woods say on several occasions, though, that it won't HELP your game very much. My wife is a massage therapist who took a course in golf massage, and the instructor said that the pectoralis muscle group (that which a bench press strengthens) is involved heavily in a golf swing, though, so I wonder.

Bottom line: regular resistance training with low weight and lots of reps, focusing on core strengthening and improving small muscle fibers, is a good idea, even if you like to bench press. Just be smart.

Went on another job interview with a latte.

Came home to watch the President's Cup and saw Tiger Woods. Thought to myself - " I'd better get in the pool for an hour and go lift some weights if I ever want to be good at this game."

Then I saw Brendan de Jonge get another birdie and thought, "Nah, I'll be fine" and went to cook some pasta.

Still, I'm hitting the range for the first time in two weeks for a few hours today. Wifey's out of town and friends aren't around.

      Playing and Expectations: Shorter Par-5s

      By Shindig · Posted

      You're right.  Side note, and funny story, the only time I can remember hitting a shot O.B. on that hole for the second shot, it was a topped shot where I started near the O.B. marker.  I wonder if I'm not getting as good a shot as I could because I'm nervous about O.B., but I'm not hesitating to hit a 4W if I get a good lie.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 262 5-12 Got an early practice session in this morning. Arms off body was the main focus with getting chest through with speed, I did much better with wrist arching through the downswing.

      Playing and Expectations: Shorter Par-5s

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, developing a proper shot zone for that approach should would be helpful. If you are bringing OB into play more than you like, then it is either needs to be an accepted reward for the risk. If you hit 10 shots from that tee ball landing area. If like 1 ball goes OB, that could be outlier shots you need to discard. If more than that is creeping in, then it is probably not the correct shot.  Maybe it needs to be more nuanced. Maybe you hit more shots OB from the left side of the hole than right due to shot shape. If you hit it left to right, maybe being on the left side makes you aim further right, bringing in OB right. It could be an aiming issue.

      Thank you, @saevel25.  First two points, definitely, and those are things I can do.  PGA Tour average being 3.0 from 100 yards in the rough (or 160 in the fairway, per ESC) is a great reminder that a 5 is a really good score on a par-5 and the occasional six isn't anything to be upset about, as long as I played it intelligently.   I'm playing in less than a week, and I checked the three par-5s against ShotScope's 5-handicap baseline.    My last par on two of them yielded a 0.23 stroke gain (each), while the last one had -0.07 on my last par (I wonder if ShotScope measures straight-line distance, because there's some slight bending going on). Hmmm, that last one, especially with between the ropes.  I think I'll go through my past rounds later today and see where I'm losing strokes there -- I would guess it's on my second shot, since that one makes me nervous because of O.B. left and right on the second shot.  Yet, I think I can hit a hybrid from my typical tee shot landing area and have a distance wedge into the green.

      Goal 1) Keep the ball between the ropes. The ropes being where you have a full swing at the ball to advance it as far towards the green as possible. Not in trees, bunkers, hazards, long grass, OB, etc...  Goal 2) Advance the ball as far as possible towards the green with respect to your shot zone. Keep the ball in play, ideally in the fairway, but the rough is not terrible. Stay away from hazards, including bunkers. Ideally, you will in play with a short iron, distance wedge shot, pitch shot, or on the green. If this is the case, then think of it as having a par 3 that is the distance left on the par 5. If you are hitting a full swing short iron, then that is going to be difficult to get par than bogey. PGA Tour is 3.0 from the rough from 100 yards. This might be where fairway matters the most.  PGA Tour rough is tougher than what we usually play. If you get can this close to 50/50 for par/bogey than you will most likely end up more pars than bogies on par 5's. You would probably be better than 50/50 if you end up closer to the hole. This is where the advice would be, aim at the center of the green with full swing shots into par 5's.
