50 Cardiogolf Drills and Exercises-Set Up

What if you practiced something about your golf game for 50 days in row?

In my opinion, daily practice is the key to success towards any goal.  Making 10 practice swings a day or stretching for five minutes everyday will get you playing better than doing a marathon practice session for two or three hours once a month.

First of all, it is always hard to find big chunks of time to beat balls on the driving range or do intense workouts. Secondly, the long practice sessions and intense workouts usually lead to fatigued swings, ingrained bad habits and injuries.

There is something to be said about the momentum of taking small daily steps towards a goal that is cumulatively better than taking big steps with less frequency.

Practice something about your game everyday.

Use the Cardiogolf ‘Shortee’ Club to practice everyday.  If you don’t have room to swing a regular golf indoors or you can’t make it to the golf course or driving range, use the Cardiogolf ‘Shortee’ Club to practice anywhere and at anytime.

Practice swings can help reinforce sound golf swing fundamentals and mechanics. Making practice swings can also get you into positions that you may not otherwise be able to get into when you swing at a ball full speed.

Start with your fundamentals. Everything you do before you swing determines how well you strike the ball. With a poor setup and grip even the best golfers in the world will not hit the ball straight. Take the time to set up and grip the club correctly each time for a consistent swing.

Practice your set-up including posture, stance and grip with the  Shortee club. Although clubs are different lengths, the basic set-up of your posture, stance and grip remains the same. One key point to remember is to try to be consistent with your set-up. The purpose of the set-up is to create a position from which you can make an athletic swing.

  1. Set-Up Practice-Alignment is the easiest fundamental to work on, and probably one of the most neglected principles of golf. A good shot is useless unless it is going toward your intended target. Rehearse set-up position with the Shortee club.  Set up in front of a mirror and notice your hand position, the angle of your shoulders and width of your stance. Use a professional golfer as a model. Take care to get into an athletic position that you can repeat. Spend 2 to 3 minutes adjusting your stance until it feels comfortable.
  2. Grip Practice-Hold the Shortee club and practice placing your hands on the club.  Place your hands on the club in the correct position. Hold position for 5 to 10 seconds.  Memorize the feel. Take your hands off the club and then place your hands on the club again. Do this exercise 2 to 3 times.

Would you change the way you eat if you knew certain foods could help you play better golf?

Managing your food intake, hydration levels and adding certain nutrients to your diet can not only help you concentrate and focus more on the golf course, but also help you keep your heartbeat steady as you make an important shot or putt, help your muscles fire faster for more power, help you fight fatigue so you can play and practice longer and even keep your blood pressure down to help you keep your cool after a bad shot.

For years, I have been using a traditional step in my Cardiogolf routines and exercises. Although effective, I felt it was important to design a step that simulated a fairway to make it more ‘golf-like.’

You almost never have a flat lie on the golf course, so it is important to practice your swing on sloping lies to develop feel and stability. The Cardiogolf ‘Slope’ is curved like a fairway slope. You can vary the angle you place your foot to practice varies sloping lies.

I developed the Cardiogolf ‘Slope’ to help golfers practice uphill and downhill lies, but it is also a great tool for exercise. You can do a variety of traditional low-impact exercises as well as strength, balance, core and even upper body exercises. Stay tuned for more information.

We all know the importance that fitness, swing mechanics and equipment can have on our golf games, but are you eating the right foods to sustain enough energy throughout your round to play your best golf? The best equipment in the world won’t make a difference if you don’t have energy to get you around the course. We do not hear as much about nutrition for golf, but rest assured that the most elite golfers of the world follow some sort of diet to provide them with the energy-output they need to play their best. While is it not yet the norm for golfers to follow a specialized nutrition program, it will soon become so.

By simply adding a few Zija products into your daily routine and making simple diet modifications, you can dramatically improve your golf game and more importantly your health and well-being.
