Fitness Tip-Golf
Golfing can take an otherwise healthy body, twist it, and bend it into a pretzel at times. Well not really but it sure feels that ways sometimes after a game of golf. Sitting around many times getting the heating pad out and wondering if, it was worth it or not. I am sure we all have been there at one time or another.
Well it does not have to be that way as we can take some precautions to prevent injuries before they happen.
Ben Shear is a fitness trainer specializing in golf fitness; he has worked with professionals like Luke Donald and Webb Simpson among many others. “Shear shows you two great exercises to not only strengthen your lower body, but also give your body some stability as it rotates during the golf swing”. This is Ben demonstrating the two exercises.
Hope this helps for the new season.
I have a laser one. You can use it aweyhnre and no annual fees suchas with Skycaddies. Mine can be used on the flag or with the click of a button on an object. Skycaddies have to be preprogrammed for the course and not all course are available, plus in the winter any temporary greens make a Skycaddie useless. My range finder can be used off the golf course as well. A Skycaddie will not tell you how far to the pin, just front-middle-back. Plus, because the range finder of mine is more or less like binoculars, at a great distance where one is unsure if a shot landed short-on the green-or over, you can look through the finder and see the ball because of the magnification?

I agree the laser rangefinder is more univresal and no fees can use it anywhere even hitting a bucket balls, never can trust markers. Gps has its uses but not for me, last thing I need is another bill attached to golf, my wife would go nuts.

If you have a smart phone, download the Golf Logix app and becmoe a member of Golf Logix. The first round is free to use. It’s 39. 95 a year and the courses are all ready downloaded. Plus you can keep track of your stats on your own web page on the Golf Logix site. Much better than Sky Caddie.
Depends on if you want a laser or GPS type unit. I prefer the GPS dceives because I like the maps. I must say one drawback is that most may be off by a yard or two but for me, I am just not that precise. However, there are lots of times when a GPS can get the distance to the hole when there is obstructions between you and the hole.Most GPS units have course maps which allow you to see distances to not only the flag but other landmarks on the course as well. You can see how far it is to the front of a hazard or the front or back of the green. This can be valuable information in cutting off strokes and staying away from trouble. Additionally, a lot of the Golf GPS rangefinders now have scorecards and the ability to track statistics. My favorite use of the Golf GPS Rangefinder is to use it to calibrate my distances on the range. I hit about a dozen balls with a club and get the average distances for that club. I used to think that I hit my 8 iron about 150 yards. Although fairly accurate, it really is much closer to 146 yards after marking off the distances with my GPS. It’s much more difficult to get those distances with a laser rangefinder. Finally, there is no worries about different light conditions that can affect laser models at dawn or dusk. The major drawback of the golf GPS rangefinder is that some of the dceives need some kind of subscription or download service to get he course maps. Most subscriptions are in the range of $40 a year or as in the case of one of the dceives, its $40 for 100 course downloads. 100 courses is a lot. Most dceives will hold anywhere from 5 to 100 courses in memory. If you need to exceed the max, its just a matter of offloading one map and downloading another.
