Uh. Idk. Cause the reporter literally asked him what he thought about it ?

Did you watch the actual interview before getting upset? You know the one where hes clearly joking?

This sounds more like just a warm up rather than what I would describe as stretching. I dont doubt it working. In fact it sounds pretty good although a bit minimalistic .

Light dynamic stretching after a round. Often some foam rolling aswell. Massages when necessary. Hot showers to loosen up the back. Cold packs for more persistent aches. I do this for a couple hours total. On/off for like 20-30 minutes at a time. Neoprene sleeves and wound wraps(the elastic reusable kind) are great for keeping the packs in place while watching tv etc. Painkillers are a last resort. If it gets that far Ill usually take 3*800mg ibuprofen and do appropriate rehab work. A max of couple weeks is usually enough for minor injuries. Having to rely on painkillers long term is

This whole thing is beyond pc gone crazy. After the suspension news I had to go back and read the transcript again incase I missed something. Nope still absolutely and utterly ridicilous. I hope one of the Lees takes it.

Long time no updates. Took a few months off after last season. Didint feel like practicing having ended the season on such a low note. I also had a nagging pain under my left scapula that was really bothering me. Nothing more than overuse but note to self Dont let them get that bad... Taking such a long time off also allowed me to come back with some fresh thoughts and feels. At the tend of last year I was feeling kind off stuck with my thoughts if you will. Not sure if it actually effects anything but atleast I feel more free right now. Anyways... to the swing. Ball much

Warming up is really important. Not just to actually warmp up but to calibrate yourself and see how your body is working that day. The very first time I played 18 holes I broke 100. At that point I had been playing golf for 4 months. Took me 2 more months to break 90 and a total of 10 months to break 80. It wasnt until the end of my 2nd year that I was in the low 80s every round. This season(year 2-3) Im breaking 80 consistently and shot my best round of 73(+1) a few months back. My home course is fairly tight and plays 6200 yards from the mens tees. On practically every hole a bad s

Hey I was just telling you how to hit it further. If you wanna keep playing putt-putt or just making excuses why you dont even want to hit the ball far be my quest .
-
As they should. Its an athletic feat that most people will never achieve. Mostly cause they are lazy and scrawny like op and refuse to hit the gym . (/s) ps. Last round I averaged 300 off the tee on my drives. I hit 3 drives and was 2 under on those holes. Did I mention it was meters?
-
Ive been working on my woods recently. Really trying to get that AoA more up with the driver and just hit more drives in general. I generally dont need the driver or on the shorter courses so its really something Ive sort of neglected but I realize its what I have to do to shoot lower scores. Coming along pretty well. ps. Ive been hitting the ball really well recently. My irons have been on point and Ive gotten a lot of looks for birdie and even eagle putts. I havent made any eagle putts cause I cant putt for the life of me... but I did make a hole in one on the 170m

Another round in the seventies today(77). Hitting only irons off the tee. Hitting the ball really well but my wedge distance control and longer putting are just terrible. Definitely something I have to start working on. So shockingly what Ive practiced is working well and what I havent isnt... Heres a comparison to the swing from the end of last year. A few pointers: -ignore the alingment stick, its doing nothing pointing at nothing -on the left my stance is more closed to neutral and on the right very open -ball position on the left is centre of stance and on t

Trying to tone down the fade a bit. I tend to drag the handle through impact starting with mid irons and that leaves the face open. As I get to the longer clubs it can sometimes produce some impressive slices... Working on trying to let the club release a bit more with the longer clubs. Played my season best 9 holes the other day +1. Definitely the best 9 holes I have every played. I was hitting the ball so well, it did exactly what I wanted it to. Probably the best shot of the day was a beautiful 3 wood. From a downhill lie a perfect arrow straight shot. Kicked left from the front of the

Left Arm Pain: From Practicing FULL backswing
Alx replied to gregsandiego's topic in Fitness and Exercise
Ive gotten something similar when Ive done a alot of work infront of a mirror holding positions. Never really hurt when swinging. Could just be the tricep/shoulder getting iritated from being overworked/constantly streched.
