Golf Workout Program

2008-10-12T14:02:00.000-07:00

One of the quickest ways to increase your driving distance and hit longer drives is to start a golf workout program. The type of workout I'm talking about is in your home not in a gym. You can do a golf-specific workout with just an exercise ball, hand weights, and exercise tubing. This equipment can be purchased at any local fitness equipment store, even Target.

All it takes is 10 minutes a day, and you'll see amazing results. You see...it's your BODY keeping you from a better game. Doesn't that make sense? For the golfer getting up there in age, this plays an even more critical role.

A loss of golf-specific flexibility and strength will quickly rob you of power, distance and even accuracy due to decreased golf swing mechanics. The ONLY way to stop this is to start working out specific to your golf swing.

2008-06-08T10:17:00.000-07:00

And you don't need to spend 2 hours sweating a day to see results on the course. Don't picture this as a hard, grinding fitness program you'll do twice then quit, but picture it as THE SOLUTION to LONGER drives, BETTER consistency, and MORE enjoyment of the game for years to come.

Create A Plan For Your Golf And Stick With It

2008-02-10T17:55:00.000-08:00

I've been yelling (not really) at the top of my lungs to all golfers who will listen, of how important a golf fitness plan is to your golf game. This plan should include golf stretches and resistance exercises. If you are a golfer slowly getting into your 50's or above, you are probably noticing a decline in your driving distance and even consistency. This is caused from a physical decline that can ONLY be slowed down by a consistent golf fitness program. If you ignore this, then your golf may be doomed forever!

Take A Serious Look At Discount Golf Bags

2007-12-22T16:13:00.000-08:00

Even though most golfers are willing to spend a fair amount on golf, getting more information on discount golf bags is always of interest. Saving up to 40% on a quality bag can be worth the time and effort finding the deal in the first place.

Don't confuse discount with cheap or lack of quality. Discount merely means lower price. Usually these discount bags are last seasons or maybe slightly defective. There are name brand golf bags that may have a little flaw that you can't even notice, but the store is obligated to discount it.

Discount golf bags can be very rewarding, and give you a sense of getting a dreat deal on a top brand bag.

Online Golf Tips Beware

2007-12-20T18:31:00.000-08:00

Golfers yearn for golf tips. But are all golf tips the same? Especially online golf tips? With the Internet comes credibility issues. Everybody is an expert on the net. Slap up a website or a blog and you're now an expert. Not quite! Golf instructors are usually certified by the PGA or some other governing body.

If you come across a website (or blog) that doesn not have an "About page" or something about the person, click out of that site as fast as you can! You only want to utilize tips that will help your golf swing not hurt it.

Golf Balls Can Make A Difference If You're Serious

2007-12-11T17:55:00.000-08:00

Many golfers buy the cheapest balls to hack around on the course.

Golf balls can accomplish many goals. You want more distance, no problem? How about more action on the green, dial it up? Better trajectory piece of cake!

Cart Golf Bags Can Make A Statement

2007-12-11T17:50:00.000-08:00

For any golfer who carts instead of walks, they'll want a reputable and quality cart golf bag to use when they hit the course. Because these bags stay on the cart, you can get monster golf cart bags! They can hold everything but your kitchen sink. With over a dozen pockets, built in cooler, cell phone holder, two putter slots, and many other ammentities, it's worth doing your due dilligence when considering purchasing one.

To play better golf, you need to focus on your golf technique. That's a pretty obvious statement but many golfers continue down the same path of no improvement because they don't work on golf swing fundamentals. Grip, stance and posture are a must. If you don't have those perfected, you have no chance at playing better golf. Swing technique can be greatly improved.

Stretches For Golf Really Work

2007-11-17T06:46:00.000-08:00

If you're looking for the secret for longer drives stretches for golf is it! As we all get older, physical restrictions creep in. The result is a much smaller backswing and a massive reduction in power and distance. The ONLY way to slow down this physical decline is a golf stretching program.

The key to your flexibility program is two important issues. Dynamic golf flexibility and a focus on rotational stretches to quickly increase your backswing AND follow through range of motion.

Stretching for golf with this approach will give you the quickest return on your investment...no doubt! The only remaining element is CONSISTENCY!
