Day 12-
TAKE THE CHALLENGE WITH ME. POST A NOTE ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE LETTING ME KNOW THAT YOU ARE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.
THE CARDIOGOLF 1000 PRACTICE SWING CHALLENGE
The challenge is straightforward-simply make 1000 practice swings over the month to improve your swing technique and increase clubhead speed.
You don’t need to go to the driving range or golf course, you can simply make practice swings in your garage or living room at home a few minutes a day (just make sure that you don’t whack the ceiling or walls!)
- If you don’t have enough room to swing a regular club, use the ‘Shortee Practice Training Club’.

THE CARDIOGOLF SLOPE
Break it Down-make 30 practice swings a day for 30 days and you will have made 900 swings over the course of a month. Okay, so it is not exactly a 1000 swings, but close enough (if you really want to get technical, you’ll have to take 33.3333 swing per day to reach 1000 practice swings). The amount is not the point, the point is to be consistent with your practice; take a few minutes out of your day to work on your golf swing and get some exercise.
How the Challenge Works-
1. Warm Up First-
Before you play, practice or work out, you should always do some kind of warm-up routine to prepare you body to move smoothly. Do these moves using the CardioGolf Slope.
2. Make 30 Practice Swings-
After you have warmed up, make 30 practice using the CardioGolf Shortee Club.
Anti-Slice Tip
A slice (when the ball curves left to right for a right-handed golfer), in golf, is one of the most common swing ailments. The slice most commonly occurs when the clubface is open relative to the swing path and/or when the swing follows an “out to in” or “over the top” swing path. The shoulders are open to the target line at the moment of impact as in the photo to the far left.
Many times a slicer opens up the shoulders too quickly on the downswing causing the clubhead to tip over and cut across the intended target line. This path, of ‘outside to in’, combined with an open clubface at impact will cause the ball to spin from left to right.
To counter this move, try hitting some shots with a closed stance.
Anti-Slice Drill-
- Place a club or alignment stick on the ground to represent your target line.
- Set up to hit a normal shot where your stance is ‘square’ to the target line as in the middle photo.
- Slide your right foot back, so that the toe of the right foot is in line with the heel of the left foot (for the right-handed golfer), thus closing your stance, as in the far right photo.
- Swing normally and hit a shot.
Closing your stance will do a couple of things:
- It will help you create a more powerful turn.
- A closed stance will help the club path to stay more on line or even a little inside the line so that you can rotate the clubface through impact and hit a shot with more ‘right to left’ spin.
Off-Course Golf Fitness Tip-Neck Rotators
Neck Side Flexion
The Side Neck Flexion exercise will improve range of motion in your neck and shoulder area.
- Stand or sit on an exercise ball or chair with straight posture.
- Slowly side bend your neck to the right bringing your ear toward your shoulder as far as you can, hold position for a moment and return to the start position
- Repeat motion on opposite side.
- Alternate bending your neck side to side for 8 to 10 repetitions on both sides.
- Be careful not to allow your shoulders to raise up to your ears.
