Everybody wants to hit the ball farther off the tee including me, so I am on a quest to hit the ball longer to score better and have more fun.

Join me as I try to increase my driving distance by 10 yards in 30 days.  By increasing your clubhead speed by just 4 mph faster will give you 12 yards extra distance on average.

The next few days we will be focusing on developing core strength more more distance. The muscles of the core are the powerhouse and the foundation of your golf swing.  Core strength also allows you to have more endurance so you don’t get tired before the end of the round. Your core includes muscles in the abdominals, back and hips. Most of your other muscles attach to this area so the trunk is considered the foundation of all movement.
