I am looking to do a some light excercises that would help my golf game. I don't have any weight lifting equipement or want to go to a gym. We have a treadmill, which I will do cardio, but what about some strength and flexibility excercises? I am thinking of some type of stretch strength conditioning with those stretch things. Does anyone have any other quick excercises they suggest?

Get a set of powerbands with the heaviest tension, possible. You can do an entire body workout.

Since you don't have weight equipment, get yourself a medicine ball, at least 25 lbs. You can do various lunges and squats, high and fast reps with 25 second rests between sets.

Lastly, get yourself a speed ladder. They come with a video teaching you how to do agility and flexibility exercises.

Good luck.

Actualy you are completely incorrect Tiger_who. Pilates is a the strengthening of your core thru resistance training without the use of weights. As a Golfer you want the flexibility with the core strength not the bulk you get with weight training. Now I am not saying dont use weights however you want to do lighter weights with more reps if you do.

Harrinjj my suggestion is to look for a local pilates studio and call to ask them to design a home program for you. If you cannot find one you can contact this studio and I am sure they can help out. www.serenityvalley.ca but to get the best program it should be designed around your body type and range of flexibility that is why it is best to find a local instructor. Spend a little money to get the best results.

Check out this book:

"Get Yourself in Golf Shape" by Cindy Reid

It has some good golf specific stretching and strengthening drills. You don't need a lot of equipment (there are few that use various machines but most don't). It also has a daily plan for something like 8 days which I find helps me vs having a bunch of different things I could o.

Hey Harrinjj - why not heed the advice of someone who's renowned for golf-specific workouts? Get to the library and take out "How I Play Golf" by Tiger Woods. There's a chapter in the back detailing which stretches and strength exercises he thinks are beneficial for the demands of the sport. If it got HIM this far....

Bag It:

3-Wood Wishon 525 F/D, 13*, Matrix Studio 65gm, Golf Pride Dual Compound
Hybrid: Wishon "321", 24*, MSF 85 HB, Winn DSI
Irons: Wishon 770CFE, Matrix Studio 74gm, Winn DSI

Putter: Odyssey DFX 2-Ball

Bag: Some big, honkin', ridiculous overkill of an Ogio cart bag with more pockets than I have teeth.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
