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.

Day 15-

Medicine Ball Swings-

Stand in your golf posture holding a medicine ball or a small weight. Slowly swing the medicine ball back to the top of your swing and follow-through as you would if you were swinging a golf club. Repeat exercise for 8 to 12 repetitions for 2 to 3 sets.

Shape up Your Swing, Trim Your Body

Wood Chops

Stand erect with feet shoulder width apart. Hold a medicine ball or a small weight above your right shoulder. Slowly make a downward chopping motion across your body to your left hip and then bring it back up to above the shoulder. Perform 8-12 repetitions and then repeat exercise on the other side of body.
