In the interest of being fair to women golfers, we decided to show a YouTube video of Natalie Gulbis’ workout. One does not often think of women working out to improve their golf game but it can help them just as much as men.
Sure Natalie is easy on the eyes but please focus on her workout and information she provides. It can help men just as much as women.
As always, keep ‘em in the fairway.
Most of our readers probably think we either were captured by gypsies or ran off to Tahiti. Sadly neither happened so no excuses… just being lazy over the holidays.
Since it is finally cold in the north, golf is just a memory. But spring is just a few short months away. We would like to celebrate our return with our favorite video. We show it every winter to show just what it takes to be in golf shape. Sit back, relax and get motivated by the hardest working man in golf, Vijay Singh and as always, keep ‘em in the fairway.
To my loyal readers I am sorry there have been no new posts recently but I have been quite ill and am only now beginning to regain my strength. Trust me you do not want to know the details as it was very unpleasant and a bit gross.
I am still not up to writing something new (or playing golf) so I am going to reshow my favorite fitness video of Vijay Singh, the hardest working man if golf. If we all would work so hard what could we achieve? Maybe not immortality but an improved golf swing and no more beer belly would be nice.
I will be back in a couple of days with all new blogs for Tales From the Bunker. Until then thank you for your patience and as always…Keep ‘em in the fairway.
As we stated in our last blog, poor posture has lasting effects that can have significantly alter your results on the golf course. Today we will review the important keys to correct posture. It is somewhat akin to dieting, we all know what we should do but we still do not do to. (How many people know they should not cross their legs but still do?)
The keys to proper posture:
Make sure your chair fits correctly. There should be 2 inches between the front edge of the seat and the back of your knees. Ideally the chair should tilt back so you can rest while you are reading what’s on the computer screen.
Sit with your knees at approximately a 90 to 120 degree angle. Using an angled foot rest to support your feet may help you sit more comfortably.
Position your computer monitor so the top of the screen is at or below eye level, and make sure you have adequate lighting.
Make sure there is no glare; use an antiglare screen if necessary.
Keep your wrists in the neutral position, not angled up or down, while you type. A wrist rest can help you keep a more neutral wrist posture. Keep your elbow angle within a 70 to 135 degree range.
Take periodic breaks, Clench you hands in a fist and move your hands like this: 10 circles in, then 10 circles out. Put your hands in a praying position and squeeze for 10 seconds, then “pray” with the backs of your hands together, fingers pointed downward for 10 seconds. Spread your fingers apart and then close them one by one.
Do the “hug your best friend” stretch a couple of times. Stand and wrap your arms around your body and turn as far as you can to the left, then to the right.
Now that we know what we should do, how many of us are going to follow these instructions? Let us know!
As all ways, keep ‘em in the fairway!
