I've gone on and off regular training mostly due to getting too sore pushing my 49 year old body beyond what it can handle. This time it's different! This weekly routine seems to be good so far:

M - Strength training - Deadlift & Press - following Wendler 5/3/1 beginner program

T - Stretch & 15 min Core Workout

W - Golf!

Th - Strength training - Bench & Squats - 5/3/1

F - Stretch & 15 min Core Workout 

Sat/Sun - Golf

Is pulling the trigger on my pistol at the range today 100 times, going out to lunch with my friends after, considered working out? Sheesh, I'm going out now to walk the dog.

Well, I am trying to get more physically fit.  I have a LONG way to go.  I am a 60 year old desk sitting engineer!  After four abdominal surgeries (including a hernia repair to fix the results from one of the others), in 2016 and 2017, I got really protective of my middle, and let what little "core" I had go away.  Radiation and chemo didn't help either.  I've also got asthma, which makes some types of exercise a bit difficult, but to be honest, that's more of an excuse, than a reason.  Fortunately, a new drug over the past couple year has helped significantly with that, walking that would make me huff and puff no longer does, so that is a good thing.

So, earlier this year, I decided it was time to do something about my condition.  I have been saying forever that I saw getting exercise from golf.  Which was not untrue, but riding around in a cart certainly reduced the potential advantage!  I decided that I was not likely to walk the course if I had to push my clubs, so I bought the Zip Navigator package from Costco in mid January.  It's got about 105 miles on it now, so I am getting a bit of walking in.  I had blister problems at first, some new shoes, and some preround foot preparation have it almost under control, though there is still one spot I am trying to figure out.

A couple weeks ago, after seeing too many Facebook ads for GolfForever, I went ahead a bought a year's subscription.  With a discount code, it's really not that much, and I though it might help.  So I have been doing that, probably every other day or so.  I'm still working on making it a part of my routine.  Oh, I have discovered that my balance isn't as good as I thought it was!

So, that's the setup!

Workout (seems a strong word!) today:

1. My first foam roller routine, about 15 minutes.  I've never done anything like it before, I am not yet sure what I think about it!

2. About a 15 minute routine aimed at back injury protection, which used tubing for a number of exercises.  I found my balance is not very ready for a split squat.  I need to work on that!

I figure I should talk about my workouts somewhere other than a Google sheet.  I set up a rack in my garage a few weeks ago and have been using it MWF mornings before work.  Today I did 140 lbs squats, 125 lb bench press, and 205 lb deadlift, plus warm-ups for each.  I don't plan to advance mine as quickly as I did when I was getting back, but rather focusing on being comfortable with them.  I'm sure Rippetoe would disapprove, but I also don't eat enough (or I don't eat the right things?) to advance as quickly as some people do in his program (I'm also not as young as some people who go through Starting Strength).  About ten years ago I had a period of about a year where I was at the gym every other day and got some good numbers going then.  😕

Today GolfForever workout was hip mobility, and then shoulder strength.  I am so out of shape it is embarrassing.  Hopefully in a few weeks I will start to see results, and not feel like so much of a potato!

I was doing at least a 10 km walk daily, but the last month or so it has gone down dramatically.  Have decided to start again from today and walk for now.  It will help me get fit and as I lose some weight, I hope my golf game will automatically improve.

72 years old. Warmed up for 30 minutes, then played 18 holes.

After getting home, did a 20 minute EMOM;

Minute 1 - 20 jump squats.

Minute 2 - 20 Russian Kettlebell swings.

After that, did my Max Swing Speed training routine.

Stretched, showered, dinner, TV & relax for the rest of the day.

Well, as I'm sure you know, it's all about what your goals are.  I just started a cut last week which I plan to end in three months.  I'm guessing most people wouldn't think I'm overweight, but I'd estimate I'm at 18% body fat and really that's the top end of where I want to be.

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
