Power Golf

Power Golf The Easy Way





Power golf is a game very few golfers can play. What I mean by that ispower golf takes

a certain level of golf specific strength and flexibility. There are requirements that have

to be in place to maximize your power and golf driving distance.



Its not as easy as getting the latest-greatest driver at $500. Its not buying Titleist ProV1s

at $45 a case. Its not even taking more lessons (although swing mechanics are very

important).



The answer is improved strength and flexibility from a rotational standpointin your

coreto play a power golf game.



The golf swing is a turn (rotate back) and a turn (rotate through). If there are limitations

that dont allow you to rotate back fully and store that torque (energy), then you will

never play a power golf game. I hate to sound harsh, but its the truthplain-and-simple.



Do you currently feel like you can make a full backswing with max torque in your core

area? I mean a 90+ degree shoulder turn with nothing more than a 45 degree hip turnand

with both heels on the ground?



If you cantdo you think hitting more balls is the answer? Or taking more lessons? I hope

not! Its about getting off the course and doing some simple golf exercises and stretches

that wont even take 20 minutes to doa couple times a week.



No gym! No fancy equipment! Just simple exercises done in your home with minimal

equipment. You dont have to get overwhelmed thinking its a gut-busting, sweaty

workout.



Althoughwhen you get a taste of what being 'fit' feels likeits almost addicting. Its like the

runners high. You start looking a little better. Having more energy. Experiencing less

aches and pains. And best of all! Youre killing the ball long and straight!



Every exercise you do to create a power golf game should be focused on core rotational

exercises. Its easy! Get in your golf posture and grab a single dumbbell or bag of sugar.

Something that weighs about 5 pounds. Now make partial swingsstaying in your posture

for 20-30 swings. Theres one simple and easy-to-implement rotational exercise.



Ill bet you can handle that one.



How bad do you want to play "power golf?" How bad do you want to be the "last

golfer" to hit your second shot into the green? How bad do you want all your golfing

buddies to be in the proshop after the round talking about one of your LONG drives?



Start implementing exercises like the above example and youre one step closer to

playing power golf!
