How many of you watched the PGA this last weekend? What a roller coaster, with Dustin Johnson getting a 2 stroke penalty for grounding his club in a bunker ?

How do you feel about the ruling? He was SO classy afterwards being interviewed. I’ll guarantee you he picked up a few more fans after how he handled it with the media.

And how about Bubba’s shot on the 18th hole of the playoff ?

What was cool was what he said to the media afterwards, which was basically he would have done it exactly the same if given over. I love that?

What’s your thoughts on this year’s PGA Championship?

Do you struggle to make a full backswing? How many times have you stepped up to the tee and tried to make a big turn to hit a long drive and the ball went nowhere? The reason this happened was you swung outside your physical capabilities. The secret to longer drives is effortless power. The only way to get effortless power is a tension-free full backswing, that unleashes into the ball coming down.

Any golfer over 40 should be focusing on stretching specific to your golf swing. If you don’t stretch, your golf muscles will get tight. Tight muscles are weak and ineffective. You will never maximize your driving distance potential with restricted muscles.

You’ve got 2 choices moving forward. Continue on the path you’re currently on, and just accept the natural decline in your game, or…start stretching and see a resurgence in your swing. One loaded with power and consistency. Once you start, you’ll wish you had been doing it years ago, but it is never too late.

Do you want a step-by-step, golf stretching program? I’ve put together a stretching for golfers DVD that is “plug-in-play”. It’s like having me in your living room taking you through a stretching program for golf. And the great thing…I’ve put it together in 7 minute segments. Yes…you get it done in 7 minutes and move on!

Many golfers I’ve come across these past 11 years all have one complaint. They do not hit the ball far enough to help them shoot lower scores. Distance in golf isn’t everything, but it sure helps doesn’t it. My only beef, is that golfers have been bombarded with the latest, greatest golf driver promising 15 yards INSTANTLY, and all I have to say is, “how did that work out for you”?

I have been professing for ELEVEN YEARS now that you have got to work on the ONLY thing keeping you from more distance. Your BODY! Come on now! Be honest with yourself. YOU swing the club. If YOU are physically declining as you get older, so will your strength, power and DISTANCE!

I have come to realize that the majority of golfers will fight me on this, and come up with a million excuses why not to work on their body, and for them, I wish you luck! You get out of anything in life what you put into it. Same goes with your health and golf game. If you are eating bad food, and abusing your body, the result isn’t pretty, and the future will look bleak

How many of you wake up in the morning without aches and pains, and with no energy? Come on…be honest with me. Do you want to keep continuing on this path of craziness?

Okay…my Saturday rant is done, and back on to getting more distance.

What if I told you, you could spend 5 minutes a couple of times a week, and you’re driving distance WILL go up? That is exactly what I’ve put together with my Power Golf Swing Tubing Program.

This is a golf swing specific program using exercise bands (tubing). It’s fun! The tubing is portable so you can do it anywhere. In your home. In your office. And on the road. So no excuse not to do it.

I get dozens of emails EVERY day from golfers wanting to know the quickest way to increase their driving distance. There’s nothing worse than being the shortest hitter in your foursome, and knowing that everytime you walk down the fairway to hit your second shot, you’re ALWAYS the FIRST one to hit

The are many issues that might be causing your lack of distance, including off-center contact on the clubface. You can lose up to 30 yards on your drives with a toe or heel hit. I can assure you that many of us mere mortals do not find the center too often

If you know me at all I will surely encourage you to improve your golf specific strength and flexibility, which will no doubt massively increase your distance off the tee…but…if you’re like many golfers, embarking on a golf training program seems daunting, and you want a simpler way to add yards.

Well…like any other sport, if you can mimmic your movement with resistance, and build up your speed with this resistance you will quickly improve your distance through a higher swing speed, and stronger golf muscles impart a more powerful blog into the golf ball at impact

With that being said, I came across the coolest training aid to instantly add resistance to your golf club, and you can insert it on your club in 5 seconds. Swing it as many times as you want, then remove it and stick it in your bag. I truly believe, this is one of the neatest power golf training aids I’ve ever come across…and it’s ONLY 30 bucks!

I swing my Power Golf Swing Weight Trainer EVERY day to…

Warm up for either practice or play.
For my golf-specific swing training.
To increase my swing speed for longer drives.

I’ve held off until now talking about Tiger Woods, his alleged affairs, voice mail, car crash, the citation the Florida Highway Patrol issued, his poor wife Elin, and what I think is equally as important is him NOT playing golf. Especially in his own tournament. This is a sad time in golf. Our most celebrated star on the covers of tabloids, and the rage on TMZ.

Not only is TMZ.com going crazy, but many sites and blogs like Huffington Post, Golf.com, and a ton of golf blogs. It also seems like more women, not only Rachel Uchitel and Jaimee Grubbs are coming out of the wood work saying they had intimate affairs with Tiger also.

I don’t know what to say or think, but I am inviting you to join in on the conversation by commenting below. I want to know what the rest of the golfing community is thinking right now.

I know I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. As they say, “innocent until proven guilty” right? I have admired Tiger Woods since he came on tour over 10 years ago. I even watched his 3rd straight US Amateur he won by comeback up in Oregon at Pumpkin Ridge. I remember coming home and telling my wife, “I just watched this KID Tiger Woods, and man he’s going to be something”. I really did say that… just ask my wife

It’s a shame he isn’t playing in his own tournament, but I can’t blame him. I would stay inside too! I hope this blows over soon, and the tabloids and media drop it.

Here’s a golf blog friend of mine with a Tiger post: Grouchy Golf

Update: Sources are now saying Elin would get $300 million if she leaves Tiger

Please chime in below and let me know your thoughts.
