I’m reasonably new to golf. I pplayed years ago, and gave it up because no-one I knew played. Having taken it up recently I decided to use it more for exercise than anything else, but never really knew the importance of stretching and strength training. But I want to improve, and know now that if I’m going to get anywhere, i’m going to have to put a bit more effort in. Having just found your various website, purely by chance, I have decided to put extra effort in, and am going to use your various techniques, but to do with the golf swing and weight loss etc. Thank you for your various insights, and to have everything needed in a couple of ebooks and right here, is a great help. I hope to keep you informed of my game reaching new heights in the future.

You could be right! That is why it seems the older guys are more willing to start both a strength and flexibility program. They are much wiser than the young bucks !!!

I think your wrong on why you got the answers you did on strength, Most people i play with just don’t hit the ball far enough to threaten par a lot of the time, but they still tell me they hit pw 130, So i think it could be male pride they don’t like to think they are not strong enough so flexibility is a good out for them on your poll,.,.

Hi Mike
I agree strength is needed if one wants to play golf well. I’ve bought your Ebook ‘Fit To A Tee’ and have been doing the exercises in the book. Guess what? – I’ve been hitting the ball straight and long most of the time – very happy. Friends and complete strangers I played with were amazed with the way I hit the ball. They questioned whether I’m really 63 years old. A very satisfied old golfer.
Thanks to you.

i totally agree with you on the strength issue and i’m now converted; its taken me a year to get back to the levels i had assumed i had; aged 50; but in fact had lost. hard work getting there, but worth it. now i have physical confidence again, i need to work on my mental side. it never ends.

Mike,

Thank you for bringing the importance of strength in the game of golf to attention. Many of my golf clients are the weakest in their core which leaves the body wide open for injury and its one of the factors I stress the most with my clients. Core fitness is so important to improve one’s golf swing and yet it can be greatly ignored by the average golfer. To be able to drive the ball to great distances does require core rotational strength as well as several other fitness components and I applaud you Mike for bringing this to attention. Thank you.

-Bob
