hi mike just a few obserations on the comments about your excise programs.. nabbed you while browsing thru the uTube site and have been using your suggestions re: warm up exs and have found them to be brill and have followed them for the last 3 wks …great..also re the guy using the gym have been in that position myself worked out with my gym instr and she set me a program for all leg core and upper body special ref to the upper and lower back and I did’nt seem to get much from it even though I was getting more fexable and turning thru the swing 50% more than I had been when I mentioned this to her //she is not a golfer// she said I had to incorporate this with my practice and dont look for improvements too quickley she used an old Irish saying @@ Hasten slowly @@ by the way I’m 56 years old and have been fit all my life Rugy/Army etc., and still I found you ex program very good as I have always had tight hamstrings and so back pain also your use of the media to get your msg across great well done lad I recommend you to others hope they use it … Paul F Ireland

I have been exercising daily since I subscribed to ‘Hitting Longer Drives’. I don’t know if I have increased my distance (I’ve only been at it a week) but I am hitting the ball better. I have to mentally think the shoulder turn in my golf swings now as in the past I was pretty much arm swinging. You had mentioned exercises to strenghten the wrists. Where can I find them or how do I subscribe to this feature. Also, I have had trouble becoming a part of your blog. Please add me to your site. Dean Maurer

Hi i tried to listen to you carefully, the only bit I thought wasn’t spot on was the bit about the feet staying in the same position throughout, like they’re static or something? I do belive legs move during the swing, the right one doesn’t as that’s the holding leg but left surely does!
Good stuff all of it, and that bit about weak rotator cuff muscles was a big eye opener!

Mike,

I tried the shoulder stretch exercise to improve rotational posture and it does indeed feel great. Question: The picture shows stretching one shoulder at a time. I’ve found that I can stand slightly behind a doorway and use gravity (my body weight) and get the same feeling stretching both simultaneously by letting my body “fall” forward.Do you see a problem with this?

Mike,

I’m a right-handed golfer and started getting occasional pain in my right inner elbow. I was given a Medicus driver and Medicus 5 iron for Christmas. Because I had them, I did a lot more practicing. My inner elbow pain continued and got a bit worse. A friend told me it was “golf elbow,” sort of related to tennis elbow and baseball pitcher’s tendinitis and was caused by bad swing habits. What can you tell me about this, I never even heard of golf elbow before.

Mike:
I work out on a “total gym” daily. There is one “golf” exercise in the whole program, but others that I think help. My problem is not really a lack of fitness (I think), but rather a problem of pushing my irons to the right (sometimes a slice). I feel like my left arm passes the club head (ergo open face) and cannot seem to correct that. Doesn’t happen with my short irons, only my longer irons (3-6). Any suggestions???
