What should I do about a workout for golf? (BEST ANSWER!)?
Posted by Golf Exercises in Golf Workout on April 9th, 2010
Hi I am a freshman in college. I had a few offers to play collegiate golf and turned them down (just did not like alot of the schools I got offered to play for). Now I want to be able to play collegiate golf [Again] and hopefully be able to play on the D1 level entering into my junior year of college. Before I turned down collegiate golf, the coach I was about to play for did a tremendous job on my swing and he also told me the aspects of my body I should workout on so I used an app on my phone to know which workouts to do for these certain body parts and after I started doing this my flexibility greatly increased, but I plateaued :/ so I want to know what I should do concerning a workout for my golf game. I have heard that P90x has helped a lot of golfers in their golf game, but I was not sure if it would bulk me up too much and mess up my swing. Is there anything out there that you recommend? I am 5′9" and my weight varies from 130-135 lbs. I would not mind bulking a little bit actually would prefer it, but I still want that flexibility that I need. I can handle just about any workout I have had a good amount of experience being in other sports and athletics. Currently P90x is at the top of my list for this. Also, I know it would be best to workout after I practice my golf game on a day, but would it be ok to workout before after my classes?
People who have had experience with this workout scenario would be great to hear from, but I am all ears to anyone 
and extra information you have for me would be greatly appreciated!
Also, please do not me tell "work on your back, core, legs, and shoulders" because I have already heard that enough. Details would be awesome (what the workout does, body parts it will help, etc…) And no smart a** response about distance does not matter when you still three putt, because I hardly ever do. I had only one three putt out of all my tournaments combined in the last summer. ;]
Thanks!
Hi dmsteele, you mind if you could email me so I can ask you a few questions about TPI?

P90X is good but if you want to work more golf related muscles than you should look into the Titleist Performance institute. it focuses more on the golf related muscles and is built to help your golf game.
Song to play while rocking up to my formal/prom in golf buggy?
Posted by Golf Exercises in Golf Stretching on April 9th, 2010
Hi guys.
I am rocking up to my formal in a stretch golf buggy. Its shiny black with white leather seats, sound system, and lights underneath, fully pimped out.
My question is, what song to play while driving in?
I wanted to play ridin by chamillionaire (You see me rollin’ you hatin’…) LOL.
But my friend going with me dislikes the gangsta sound.
Any idea’s guys?
Nothing stupid or random like missy higgins =]
Any idea’s are appreciated.
Thanks!
If all else fails, im going with chamillionaire.
Ummm… no because white & nerdy is quite irrelevant…
Go with "White & Nerdy" by Weird Al Yankovic, parody of "Ridin’" . . . great song.
Golf exercises…..which should I do?
Posted by Golf Exercises in Golf Exercises on April 9th, 2010
I am overweight and need to lose weight but I also would like to improve my golf game….Which exercises should I use? I have a memebership at a gym so I have access to all equipment
To best improve your golf game, you should develop your lower body strength and work on your flexibility.
Lower body strength – stronger legs will give you a solid base during your swing, helping to increase distance and actually reduce your mishits due to loss of balance. If you don’t already, start walking the course more. Running or walking, squats, lunges, and other leg exercises will help – ask your gym’s trainers or other members for more details.
Flexibility – increasing your range of motion will generate more power during your swing, as well as help with balance and overall health. (You have a lesser chance of pulling a muscle if you are flexible, for example.)
Congrats on joining the gym and doing something to improve both your health and your golf game – best of luck!
