Do you know any good golf workout routines???

Question

I mean in general then i need help choosing which club to use on the course and how to read the greens i always miss my putt...

Answer 1

titlelist has a cd of a workout routine, it is great because it is taught by someone that plays the game and knows what muscles are used to play the game. Sorry but i dont know the name of it but im sure that if you go to their website its on there somewhere. As far as green reading try this imagine that you have a glass of water and picture underhanding the water towards the hole, think about where you think the water will go in relation to the slope of the green.

Probably one of the best exercises you can do for your golf game is Pilates. It really builds core strength and increases flexibility; both key factors in the golf swing.
Also, if you watch the Golf Channel, there is a show called Golf Fitness Academy that will give you golf specific exercises you can do to improve your game. You can also watch it on the internet at the link below.
As far as "choosing which club to use on the course", I don't know that I understand your question completely, but I think you need to learn your club distances on the driving range and then apply them to club selection on the course.
Learning how to read greens really just comes from practice, but it's important to remember that all other things being even, putts tend to break towards the sun and large bodies of water. Also make sure you visualize the putt before you set up to it and putt it. This will help you put the correct stroke on the ball.

hope this helps and good luck on the course!

workout>>>> whats that. but on how to choose a club. go someplace flat. an open field, a playground, what ever you can find. be prepared, in otherwords u have hit some balls not to long before. then hit 10 ball's with a 7 iron, take a tape measure. (preferably a 100 footer) and measure from where you hit to the center of where all the balls hit. if the wind is in your face. hit 10 upwind and 10 downwind. then average them all out. u know math like in grade school. this is the average distance you hit your 7 iron. for each numbered club higher or lower u should have about a 10 yard distance in them. hence 8 should be about 140 and 6 should be about 160. it will be a little different with each person. then make a chart. with all the clubs. and know this is your average distance. then u can look at the yardage markers and know you are about say 135 yds from the center of the green. this makes it either a 8 iron or a 9 iron. if uphill hit the stronger one. if down hill hit the weaker one. the same with wind, or the lie of your golf ball. once you do this then it will take a month of so but you will get it in your mind and know when u get to your ball what u are going to hit, then u factor in the lie, wind, uphill, downhill etc. and make your final choice. as for putting. look to see which side of the cup is the highest and it will break from high to low. look for little knobs, ridges that will make it move. and then u can judge how much u need to borrow to make it a straight putt. sounds complicated but its not. it just takes getting to know your game. thanks. golf is a game of a lifetime.

Answer 5

Scratch7 nailed it. Let me add that yoga is also very good. I'm a strong believer in proper stretching so that your muscles can do what you ask them to do in the golf swing. Both Pilates and Yoga incorporate stretching. In addition to strengthening your core muscles, light weight exercises that strengthen the shoulders are also important. Rotator cuff injuries are very common, and strengthing the muscles takes strain off of the tendons. If you are not into Pilates and Yoga, believe it or not, a good chiropractor can help you with an exercise routine. In fact, some chiropractors specialize in golf conditioning.

As for which clubs to use on the course, go out late in the day and lay down several balls from key distances (100 yards, 125 yards, 150 yards) and learn which clubs you use from those distances. You'll need more club for uphill shots and less club for downhill shots. That will get you started.

Answer 6

everything scratch said is right on.

I would only add one thing as far as which club to use on the course: as crazy as it seems, playing Tiger Woods Golf on xbox or playstation helps illustrate which clubs to use when. Just make sure to set up a "mortal" golfer.
