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.
Stay down and through
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.
We have been focusing on developing core strength for more distance because the muscles of the core are the powerhouse of your body and the foundation of your golf swing. Now we will move into working on developing explosive power through plyometrics and resistance training for more clubhead speed.
The goal of explosive power training is to increase movement rate while applying as much force to muscles as possible.
Injury Prevention
Plyometrics place considerable eccentric forces on joints, ligaments and tendons and are not appropriate for everyone. Be smart. If you are just beginning to work out for golf, then skip these and work on low impact exercises. Over the next few days, I will be posting plyometric and resistance exercises for you to try.
Day 20-
Squat with Backwards Toss
Start with feet shoulder width apart holding a med ball above your head. The squat down, lowering the ball between your legs before you stand up fast and toss the ball back behind your head. Don’t do this inside the house. Do 6 to 8 repetitions.

Cardiogolf is a golf specific workout designed by LPGA Teacher of the Year Karen Palacios-Jansen. Participants learn exercises to promote better swing mechanics, flexibility, strength and balance throughout the golf swing. The routine is a combination of swing drills and golf specific exercises. It accommodates every golfer regardless of gender, age and skill level or fitness level. All you need is a 4 x 4 sq ft space to do the golf swing exercises. If you don’t have a short practice club or enough room to swing a club, you can use a soccer ball or tennis racquet to simulate the golf swing. We will be doing practice swings, but you can do all the exercises without a club as well. I will show you how. We will not actually be hitting balls, but exercises to improve your swing mechanics as well as flexibility and strength.
