GAME GOLF + TST Presents a Challenge for All Members!

I'm happy to announce that starting today, and concluding May 31, 2015, The Sand Trap .com has partnered with GAME GOLF to present a challenge in which virtually any member can take part. All you need is a GAME GOLF Classic system (belt-worn unit) or the free app (available for iOS, http://gmglf.co/1aVsIvn, and Android, http://gmglf.co/1MHH6bS ) AND a membership in good standing here on TST which, by the end of this month, has at least 10 approved posts.

The Net Score Challenge will take your GAME GOLF handicap and determine who shoots the best round this month.

The prizes? The winner will receive a signed shirt by the GAME GOLF Tour Pros and a six-month Supporter membership here at TST. The second-place finisher will receive a signed hat by the GG Tour Pros and a three-month Supporter membership. Additionally, one randomly selected non-winning participant will receive some B330 golf balls courtesy of Bridgestone, too!

Naturally, as this is golf, we're relying on everyone's honesty and integrity when submitting scores to the challenge.

From GAME GOLF: Join our new 'Net Score' Challenge and compete against each other on any course in the world. To enter, join this Challenge, upload a round via GAME GOLF Classic system or our new App and post a comment here [this thread] on thesandtrap.com

It's worth noting that to compete in the Challenge via our new Free App. You must sign in via www.GAMEGOLF.com (on your computer) to join the Challenge. You cannot join Challenges via the app (yet). From there, your rounds will automatically be entered after you play using the app.

I went out today and played some incredible golf. Shot a personal best at my new country club with a 74. Really hitting greens helped tremendously. My first sub 78 round in almost 3 years. Still locke

      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.
