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.

    • Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.
    • This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
    • Day 3: Worked on backswing. Feel: Matt Wolff, Real: Not yanking it inside and getting it laid off and flat at the top. 
    • I wrote the post before leaders tee'd off today (3rd round) when Schef was still tied with Fitz at -10. Also, if you read further I also said 'one man' will most probably put the championship to sleep by end of today..😊. Yeah, not much drama left it seems. Scheffler with a hot putter is out right frustrating for the field. I will still watch tomorrow because the course is awesome and the play is pretty exciting in general. Players reaching deep to hang on.
