Actually I'm wondering:
what kinds of exercises are there to improve your length?

I really feel like I lost some distance since I don't have any PE at school anymore. Field hockey and golf itself just don't cover that up in strength.

As an ex-runner (15 years over 20+ years ago), I feel that the biggest bang is from being aerobic fit. This translates into still having energy on the 18th after walking the course. Does this translate into golf skill? No, it does not.

That means working out for 30-60 minute range at the "it is hard to talk" level. As an old guy, 5 days a week is plenty. Doing running, ellipical training, etc works all the big muscle groups.

I have never really done much in the way of stretching. I never intentionally cooled down. In 15 years of running, I really never stretched. I did warm up. And running is a great warm up for faster running.

Weight training does have a place. It does strengthen muscles and tendons. When I do it, I prefer 3 set of 15 at a weight that I can do almost all 45 repeats at. And short breaks between sets.

I voted for weight training.  Want to get longer.  I'd say legs, get them stronger and learn how to use them in the swing.   That "jump up" in the down swing is a supercharger for the club and if you have powerful legs where you can really fire up as the clubs coming down it will add big yards.

I've been working really hard for around a year mostly lifting with some cardio and I've noticed gains in distance.  I believe stronger forearms, legs, and core are the difference for me.  I work my back, tris/bis, legs, and shoulders really hard.  I am more flexable than I've ever been and I don't stretch unless I'm sore.  There is no correlation between being thick and not flexable.  If you are a freak where your muscles get in the way then you probably don't play golf.  You can't get to that point naturally.  But a little size isn't a bad thing.

Mondays & Wednesday: Circuit Training class offered were i work, during my lunch break. 40 minutes.

Tuesdays & Thursdays: HIIT on the tredmill, alternating 1 minute high 1 minute low, try to burn at least 300 calories

Friday: Personal Weight lifting with emphasis on core and golf specific areas.

Thats what i am doing right now, about to incorporate Yoga into this as well in the evenings.

I would do more golf specific if i was in better shape, i have about 15% more body fat to loose.. Its alot, but i think i can get there by the end of the year..
