I m using and attended some of the big group class in the gym. It is really convenient and good.

Played yesterday and putting result was bad , although the green reading were pretty close . This is my 3rd round with AP. The bad putts were those long putt like 40ish putt uphill which I really struggle with distance control .I had like 4x 3 putts. Anyway 3 birdies for the day and I know that i have some more work to do with my speed , and better slope reading . Have order the AP Bubble last week and it will take 10 working days to arrive ..can't wait ..

I agreed that being fat will not stop us from playing well as long as we have the flexibility and strength. As age is catching up, it will affect you some way .

checkout rory's site rorymcilroy.com Most athlete today ( golfers included ) hit the gym to improve their fitness ( not body building ). I myself benefited from workout in gym ( cardio & weight to improve fitness ) , and i gained like 20 yards more on my drive and play more consistant through out the 18 holes or 36 holes. I lost 12 pounds of body fat and gain 2 pounds of muscle . I look smaller because the body fat will take our 6x the space of muscle given the same weight. My body fat was 20% and now 11% . If the gym workout does not work out , then the TPI folks ( Titleist Performance Centre ) will be out of business long time ago.

Rory does hit the gym..look at his shoulder , tricep & bicep size ..that is a result of weight training .

I would say Dustin Johnson has a great body for golf . Gym workout ( weights , Cardio , Core ) which improve endurance , strength , flexibility will help your game. Best is to do some search in the web and there are handful of program for golf.

I went and play my 1st round after the aim point . The green is slower than 8 . I use some of the knowledge I learned from AP , and it works pretty good and putt it very near to the hole . I actually play night golf on the back nine today, and aim point chart really works best since reading green the normal way is kinda difficult using might golfing lighting . What I did just find the zero line , estimate the slope % , check the putting distance and cross check the AP chart and execute the putt . I really putt well . Can't wait to experience this during tmr game. The speed will be 8 to 9 . Will see how

Thanks Erik !

I took up the AP Fundamental last Sat . Its is an eye opening session and there are so much physics in it . Being an engineer myself , the AP approach is really convincing. Ater the class , i m able to read the break much better , however I do have some putting tempo and distance control issue to work on to hole the putts. I cant wait to play my 1st round this week ... will defintely put some update on the progress. Too bad i cant get an Edel Custom Fitting at my area. I just got my putting cut to 33.5" and add 20gs by replacing the weigts at the bottom of my SC.

As we get strongers , fitter and more flexible ( either from Yoga or Gym Workout ) , the chances are our golf game will improve. I played better golf now after started gym 8 months ago , without increasing my visit to the driving range. I just won the longest drive in my club Annual Championship for both days last weekend . Shot 76 & 82 and ended with no 6 placing ( 4 shots short of the club champ )

I shot okay today although my Driver only started to wake up at the 14th hole. Iron shots were out . Thanks to my short game which i chip close to sink the hole and save the day.

rematch for the 2 ..Fed to win ..since he is at the end of his career soon

Totally agreed ! I have used a few caddies when I played in China , Indonesia and Malaysia. I had one caddie who has 30+ years of experience and he can tell and advise you the best approach on each hole. Even I play the course for the 1st time , I score 4 over on a 6300m par 72 course . The experience is totally awesome .

Yes , we become friends and No , we only play in the same flight once.

When u feel like trying really hard to play well ! A lot of bunkers shot and balls keep landing in the divot .

I was asked to pick up this sport by my boss since it is a tool for our business. He gave me an old set and ask me to go to the range . I was like " What ? The slowest and old man sport on the planet ? " At the range , when i hit my 1st ball , then i reliased that it is not so easy ..lol ! After a few rounds at the range ,i followed my boss to the green . There and Then..there is no turning back ! I took up lesson , google the knowlegde of golf , club fitting , shaft slection , trackman etc , wants to do every single thing to improve my game Now at 43 , the urge to play is getting even stronger . To sustain my game in a long run , i start to go to gym to improve my fitness in golf about 7 months ago. I hit further and my stamina are good for 36 holes in a day . Crazy huh ?

I guess most people hae 60 to 80 yards ( distace from a half to full swing ) as their non comfortable zone , same here too.

Same as teaching our kids to play golf... Since it is free , they dont really listen much and confront you ...lol !

Golf is one of the hardest sport to play perfectly ! When you try very hard to play better but the result show otherwise...lol ! So just enjoy every shot .

If tee off at 6am , i need to reach the club 30 minutes for warm up. In the afternoon , 10 to 15 minutes before tee time is okay .

Getting Old ? Erine is kinda fat now ...

Knowledge is power and souce for improvement. I think Tiger should learn and find something that work best for him from " Butch -> Hankey -> Foley". The initail result might be not favourable but golf is a complex movement sports ...it takes some time to show the result.

I have 3 full sets ( 2x in China and One in Malaysia ) My main set is at my club ( it is about 25Miles from where i stay ) My 2nd Set which is identical to my main set ( older driver and wood, same iron but different shaft ) is always in my car for my practice at the range or for travelling within China or to the US. My 3rd set is back in Malaysia whn i go back for holiday . They are really old models back in 2000.
