Practice something about your game everyday. #CardioGolfChallenge
In my opinion, daily practice is the key to success towards any goal. Making 10 practice swings a day or exercising for 5 minutes everyday will get you playing better and in better shape than exercising or practicing for two or three hours once a week. First of all, it is always hard to find big chunks of time to do massive workouts or beat balls on the driving range. Secondly, the long workouts or practice sessions usually lead to fatigued swings, injuries and ingrained bad habits.
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.
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.

Today we focus on the Elbows-
Your ability to keep your elbows together throughout your swing is determine by how flexible you are in your back and shoulders. If there is any tightness in those areas, your trunk will stop rotating and your elbows will spread apart and bend in attempt to get the club parallel at the top of the swing: destroying the arc of your swing.
Ideally, you want to work on increasing flexibility and mobility to get your muscles through their full range of motion. But to help accelerate your progress, you can always tie your elbows together to get the feeling of how to turn with the elbows in the proper position.
Using a stretch band that you can get at any sporting good store, place it around your elbows as shown. Make practice swings, feeling how your trunk and shoulders rotate without lifting your arms away from your body or spreading your elbows wider than they started at address. Repeat several times, then take off band and try to keep the same feeling.
