I tried swimming before playing golf , along with 10 minutes of good stretches. It makes big difference for me. Warms up muscles . If I can, I swim, stretch, hit balls (systematically, of course) and putt before tournament games . Takes about 75 minutes in total. I smiled when I heard that Spieth was doing workouts each morning before tee off at The Open. Good luck.

Spieth is swimming?

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

To clarify: Spieth was stretching & working out (after breakfast, before his tournament rounds) at the Open. Exact workout routine was not mentioned. The point is: using muscles warms them up. ( I am quite certain there are precious few pools in town if St Andrews. : )

Life long swimmer here.  For all you guys cramping up, I always made sure to take vitamin supplements of potassium during swim seasons or before swim meets.  You can also down a few bananas too.

For a good workout, practice breath control.  A normal person should be able to make it 12-15 yards underwater without taking a breath.  A semi-fit person should be able to make it 25 yards.  I've swam in events that require a 50yd swim(with fins) without breathing.  It's like cardio on steroids.

If you want a leg workout, get a kickboard and go for it.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
