What is the best public golf course to play in Illinois?

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

I wanted to get my boyfriend a gift certificate to play a round at a really nice golf course for our two year anniversary. I would like to go as well so it would have to be girl friendly, so not Butler.

Thanks!

Cog Hill is a great public facility is south suburban Lemont Illinois.

Three very affordable courses and then Dubs Dread will set you back $140.

Great idea for your boyfriend. Do you have a sister?

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I have mine. Too worst that I wouldn’t come again to that golf course. What’s your worst experience at a golf course that you think that course just sux.

My best friend’s Dad who was about 45 years old at the time simply dropped dead of a heart attack while my friend was putting on the 18th hole……this was definitely my worst experience on a golf course.

Golf Exercises to Develop the Three Integral Components of Club Head Speed Development

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Golf exercises are an integral component of increasing club head speed in your golf swing. Increasing club head speed equates to longer drives, shorter approach shots, and lower scores. The improvement of your clubhead speed hinges upon both the efficiency in which you execute the golf swing and your body. It is your body which both supports and executes the mechanics of the golf swing. Improvement in three components of your body will assist in this process

First and foremost we must understand the connection between the body and your golf swing. Basically, the mechanics of the golf swing are executed by your body, and in order to execute each phase of the golf swing correctly. Your body must have certain physical parameters developed within it. If these physical parameters are “not up to par” so to speak compensations will develop in your golf swing. Resulting in inconsistencies in your golf swing, a loss of power, accuracy, and higher scores rather than lower.

The first of these physical parameters is flexibility. This is probably the physical parameter requiring the most attention by amateurs as well as the starting point for any comprehensive golf fitness program. The mechanics of the golf swing require the body to draw the club along a specified swing plane through a long range of motion. In order to execute this requirement of the golf effectively, your body must have certain levels of flexibility. This will allow you to make a full shoulder turn, execute the backswing, downswing, and follow through correctly.

The second physical parameter of the golf swing is strength. Muscular strength assists in a number of physical requirements of the golf swing such as balance, posture, and even power development. Fundamentally the golf swing requires the golfer to maintain a fixed spine angle, rotate around a fixed spine angle, and maintain specific postural positions in every phase of the swing. In order to accomplish this the muscles of your body must have certain levels of strength. It is the ability of your muscles to exert specified levels of force that allows for these requirements of the golf swing to be met. The golfer can develop the muscular strength requirements of the golf swing through golf fitness training.

The third and final physical component of the golf swing is power. Power development in the golf swing is measured through clubhead speed. The higher rate at which the clubhead impacts the golf ball, the farther it will travel down the fairway. The development of power in the golf swing hinges upon both the efficient execution of the swing and the muscle of your body. As it relates to the body, power development is contingent upon the muscles of your body generating the greatest amount of force possible within the confines of the swing. Increasing the power outputs of your muscles will enhance your ability to generate clubhead speed in the golf swing.

Knowing three basic components exist within the body relative to the golf swing and understanding improvement within your flexibility, strength, and power components will improve your golf swing. It is easily understood how a golf fitness program can improve the clubhead speed in your golf swing. In addition keep in mind a specific set of golf exercises improving these physical parameters of the golf swing are key within a golf fitness program.

Is It Time That People Stopped Reminding Tiger About Past Mistakes?

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

He has apologised profusely,and he has been endlessly humiliated.
How much more do they want?
He has also had to suffer far from perfect nobodys pontificating on his
fitness for the human race.
Especially big wigs at Augusta who probably wouldn’t know one end of a golf
club from the other.
Time to let go of this man, time to let him get on with his life and to rebuild his family life.
Good luck Tiger, and well done on your comeback.
A brilliant return after an extended layoff.

I say leave the guy alone. We’ve had the media circus.

The only thing that should be splashed over the back page now should be his golfing prowess, not the other sort.

Although he wasn’t smiling at the end of yesterday, I also thought he did bloody well, all things considered.

Golf Fitness: the Easiest at Home Golf Fitness Program

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

How do golf and fitness go together?  Why do I need golf fitness training?  What difference would a golf fitness program make to my golf game?

I can tell you all about that from what I have seen with my friend and golfing buddy, Dooley Duffer. 

Dooley had been away from the game for some years.  His career and family took priority over his time and golf, although he loved it, it just would not fit into his schedule. As he advanced in his career he became less physically active. He even moved to a management position so time in the office was nothing like the work he had been doing.

His body began to show his change in lifestyle. Don’t tell him I told you this, but his middle seemed to grow faster than his salary. Bet you know how that story goes, huh?

He had only played very occasionally during that time. So I don’t think he realized how much being out of shape affected his golf swing performance.

Then Dooley changed companies and began to play golf regularly again thanks to his new boss who had recently taken up the game. With his kids grown Dooley now had more time to devote to golf and it only took one round back on the course to re-ignite the passion which had burned so brightly in days gone by.

As he began to play more often his physical limitations became a more and more of an issue. He struggled at times to finish a round; scores would escalate due to inconsistent swings, loss of concentration and general fatigue.  He would even huff and puff when walking up hills in spite of always riding a cart. I can remember having to wait for him to catch his breath before he could putt on elevated greens. No chance he could walk when he played.

Then over a few weeks I began to notice improvement in Dooley’s game. Less and less of the struggles I had noticed before and more successful golf shots, better concentration and less fatigue. He even began saying he wanted to play an extra 9 holes!

You see, conditioning is critical to your overall golf performance. And poor physical conditioning will certainly ruin your golf performance. Just ask Dooley about that.

What was Dooley’s secret?  Had he hired a golf fitness trainer? Did he use golf fitness videos? What had he done to improve his fitness for golf and his golf handicap?

Turns out he had not done any of those things exactly.  He said he found this golf fitness eBook called “Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide” by Mike Pedersen. Seems Mike’s eBook is about how to improve your golf fitness at home in less than 30 days. Mike says that the secret to lower scores and longer drives is all about getting your body to move just a little bit better.

Dooley said he that he took the advice seriously and began to feel results quickly. Then he began to notice he felt better on the course. That was very encouraging to him and he was able to keep at it. He had tried exercising before but soon lost interest but this was different.  He could see improvement and he knew why! The Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide had delivered on its promise. Dooley says this is the kind of thing anyone could and should do from home to improve their fitness for golf.

Having watched Dooley now for these past few months make such wonderful progress, I too can recommend “Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide”.  (Yes, I am on it now too.)

If you need help with your golf fitness program, if you run short of breath at times or struggle scoring over the last few holes of a round then please look into how Ultimate Golf Fitness could help you see the same kind of improvement Dooley is experiencing.
