Golfers (especially) the older ones know they should be stretching, but many don’t know how to become more flexible when it comes to the golf swing. It’s quite easy! Break the golf swing down into bite-size chunks and do a stretch for each one. This would improve every aspect of your golf swing. Your backswing, downswing, follow through, impact and many more.
All it takes is a few minutes daily to see amazing results. Consistency is crucial. If you start and then soon quit you’ll have wasted your time and effort for nothing. If you have to, get a stretching for golf dvd, or a stretches for golf ebook to guide you.
It’s now winter time across the country. This is the perfect time to implement an “off-season” golf exercise program. You can do it in your home in less than 3 minutes a day. You can manage one exercise a day can’t you? You won’t even break a sweat! This is a fantastic program to “kickstart” your health, fitness and golf improvement program.
What a fantastic way to kickstart your 2008 golf season. You’ll be a “power-driving” machine on every tee. Your foursome will envy every drive you hit that goes by their’s by 20-30 yards every time!
Taking ACTION gets results! Talking and wishing get you nothing!
November can be a tough time for a lot of golfers. Many (including SirPutts and I) are forced to put away their clubs for the season and dream about warmer days ahead. It’s not all doom and gloom though… this is the best time of year to find great deals on golf clubs.
Every now and then we like to search the web for some of the best deals on golf clubs. We might be months away from using them but it doesn’t mean we can’t still buy them! Let’s search some of our favorite golf club sites and make a bargain bag!
Driver – There are a ton of great deals out there but we really like the Adams Insight BUL at $149.99 USD. This driver made the 2007 Golf Digest Hot List and is a steal at $149.99. Better players may want to look at the Insight BTY for the same price. There are a few sites with this price… we found it on Golfsmith .Fairway Wood – I think we’ll stick with Adams here. The RPM fairway woods are a solid option and are an even better choice when you can pick them up for $69.99 each. The guys over at Rock Bottom Golf have these on special and seem to have a pretty good selection of options as well. If you like low profile fairway woods… you’ll like this club.Players Iron
– The Wilson Pi5 irons didn’t get a ton of praise… mainly because not many people gave them a chance. The Pi5’s are probably the best Wilson iron in recent memory and they’re priced to clear right now.Looking for a new set of irons? Swing by Rock Bottom Golf and find these for $229.99.
Game Improvement Iron – There are a lot of choices here. Nike has quietly introduced a few great “value game improvement” options over the past few years. The NDS were a real sleeper and the Ignite combo set has been a real hit with our customers. This is a great set for the price. Rock Bottom Golf has these at $329.99 right now although I found some older ads mentioning that they may have recently been even less at Golfsmith.Hybrid – Nickent is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable names in the hybrid business. The 3DX Ironwood really helped Nickent get on the map and it’s still available at a great price if you don’t mind searching a bit. Golfsmith has these at $59.99 each in graphite shaft.
Looking for steel shafts or different lofts? A quick search of other online stores should help you find what you’re looking for. Most places we looked at had various lofts and shafts for around the same price.There are some great deals to be had if you don’t mind looking around. Tis the season for savings! Thanks for dropping by and we’ll talk to you soon!

Did you realize you can improve your game right in your home? All it takes is simple exercises geared for golfers. Exercise doesn’t have to be hard, and it doesn’t have to be in a fitness club. It is so easy to cop out and use that as reasons (excuses) to not exercise.
Doing what you’ve been doing will get you the same exact results you’ve been getting. Are you happy with your results? Do you want more? If you’re like the average amateur golfer, you want to get better. If so, you’ve got to work on what’s keeping you from it. The machine you look at every morning in the mirror.
Fix the machine, and your swing will transform!
I’m sure you’ve seen them. Those cool balls with initials or full names engraved on them. These personalized golf balls can be used for many different situations. They would be a fantastic gift for a boss or family members. They would be a great way to promote your company or service.
Now that you’ve seen the value of this potential golf gift, you should consider the brand of ball you want to use. If it’s for a boss or valuable client, you can’t go wrong with Titleist balls. If it’s for a family member who plays occasionally you can get a lower, less expensive brand like a Maxfli, Topflite or Nike DT.
Simple Golf Exercise In Your Home
All it takes is simple golf exercises right in the convenience of your home to transform your golf swing! I’ve put together a
golf exercise video tip you’ll soon realize you can do right now to add power and distance to your golf swing!
I’m not a big fan of Michelle Wie! I’ll say it straight up! She came out on tour signing the biggest female golf endorsement contract and hadn’t even won or placed in an LPGA event. Do you think her LPGA competitors took a liking to her or not? I think you know the answer to that one.
I think Michelle Wie is in denial!
She needs to prove herself on the “ladies tour” FIRST, then try if she wants to make a men’s cut. She has overkilled that one! She has tried so many times, when she finally makes one, people aren’t going to be impressed. They’ll be thinking, “about time”.
These may be strong words, but she needs to support HER tour first, and maybe gain some friends on that tour, then go do other things.
Our society is getting bigger. That means golfers are too! It doesn’t have to be that way! Becoming a lean golfer is easy with the right approach. Lifestyles like BIG John Daly’s result in how he looks today. You hopefully desire more out of your life than that. We only have once chance on this earth, so why not make it the best we can.
Fat loss does not require deprivation. Nor does it require a huge sacrifice. It all boils down to common sense. Before you eat your next piece of food, take a good look at it. Is it going to give you fuel or poison? Will it rev up your engine or shut it down fast?
Weight loss for golfers can be very rewarding. You not only look and feel better, but you will most definitely play better. Doesn’t those rewards outweigh unhealthy lifestyle choices? It’s easy to put it off now, but what happens when you’re in your mid 60’s and you’re carrying an extra 50 pounds? At that point it’s very difficult to get it off. It’s not impossible, but it’s much harder than it would be if you started in your 40’s or even 50’s.
I’ve put together a little Golfers Guide To Weight Loss ebook you should strongly take a look at. I’ve made it so easy to lose weight and keep it off!
Involving your legs in your downswing is a key component in utilizing the power your swing creates.
To do this, your left knee needs to kiss the right one as the club comes into impact. Among my students I see a lot of stationary legs; this contributes to their lack of distance. Your right knee should be driving towards to the target as you approach impact; this move helps promote a proper weight transfer.
As shown in the picture, imagine yourself holding a balloon between your knees. As you swing back, try to keep the balloon stationary. This will ensure you’re coiling properly and creating tension between your upper and lower body.
When you’re approaching impact, feel as though your right knee is pooping the balloon on the left. This move will help you clear your hips properly while transferring your weight, leading to greater clubhead speed and distance. Give it a try! This drill was provided by Duncan McGillivray over at the GolfDrillGuru.com.
Phil wins last week and Tiger this week. Who is going to win the Fedex Cup? The tournament is going to be at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Steve Stricker could sneak in there if Tiger and Phil are not watching.
It’s too bad Phil wasn’t playing last week, but now it adds a lot of drama to this weeks tournament. My money is on Tiger!
