Golf Fitness and Swing Changes

I have been working hard on my flexibility, fitness, strength, short game, and golf swing. With the help of TPI Certified golf instructor Mindi Boysen, I have identified balance, hip flexibility, and core strength as areas I need to improve. I have been jogging every morning, going to yoga classes 3 days a week, and lifting weights/ core 3-4 days a week at Mountainside Fitness.

My practice sessions usually begin with 1-2 hours of putting, working on routine, picking a spot on my line to roll the boll over, neutralizing my grip, pure contact, body/head still, and keeping the blade square. Then I'll chip for an hour working on spin control and landing the ball on a spot. Then I'll hit balls for 2-3 hours, working on setup, hip rotation, grip, trajectory, and swing plane. Sessions close with 1-2 hours on the putting green and chipping green. Progress is good, as proven by matching my Career Low round with a 63 on Tuesday at Firerock!
