You can produce more power with your golf swing in just 3 simple moves.

A great article by Anthony Renna called “Three Moves for More Power”, gives you three keys to generating power in the golf swing and three quick drills you can do right on the range to help generate this much wanted power in your golf swing.

The 3 keys for generating more power are:

1. Maintaining good posture
2. The ability to internally rotate around your hips
3. Have good separation of upper body from lower body

The 3 drills are:

1. Hip Hinge Drill
2. Hip Twisters
3. Back Lunge with Rotation

In his article, Anthony even shows you pictures of how to do the drills.

I have found these drills to be helpful for me.  Let me know what you think of these drills.

Here’s To Better Golfing!

- Rick

I have a buddy of mine named Larry. Larry likes to brag around the office about his great golf game. I bragged to some other friends about Larry and they said they wanted to play around against me and Larry and told me to put my money were my mouth is. How could I turn down the chance to make a little side money.

I told my friend Larry about the match and he said he was game.

I quickly learned that Larry is probably like most weekend golfers. Larry is just a normal eat at McDonald’s kinda guy that would rather lay on the sofa, like the guy to the right, that practice to improve his golf game.

I asked Larry if he knew of the benefits of golf exercises? Larry said he had no idea there where any benefits to golf exercises. I thought to myself…”What did I get myself into.” I then explained to Larry that there are many benefits to golf exercises.

I then asked Larry what he did to get ready for a golf match. Larry said, “I like to go to the driving range to hit golf balls the night before. I snag the largest bucket of balls I can find and start to hit the hell out of the balls one after the other. I do this about and hour or so until my back and my shoulders get tired and give out.” Again I thought to myself…”What did I get myself into. My wife is going to kill me if I lose this money.”

I tried to tell Larry all he really needs to do in order to improve his game, develop a consistent swing, increase the length of his drives and shoot lower scores is to quickly and easily improve his flexibility. He never believed me…that “famous” weekend.

The morning of our match, Larry met me at the course early to work on our putting and he’s walking like a drunk…barely able to carry his bag. I notice he barely can stand up straight without a grimace look on his face and making a low moaning noise.

I quickly moved into the “I gotta do something quick to win the bet” mode and begin running through the quick-easy and simple 7 minute golf exercise stretching program by Mike Pederson with Larry. 7 minutes later, Larry was standing straight, without pain and walking to the tee box on the first hole, a monster of a par 5.

Before teeing it up, Larry turned to me asked me point blank…”Think I can drive the ball without hurting my back?”

“Larry” I said…”you just did everything you’ll ever need to do in order to drive the ball farther than you ever have…grip-it and rip-it dude…show them what you can do.”

That day…with the help of the 7 minute stretching program for better golf, Larry hit the ball longer than he ever had before, hit more greens in regulation and shot his lowest score in two years.

Larry told me that stretching program we did before the match “was amazing. I always thought it was a bunch of BS but you’ve made me a believer.”

I just smiled back with a “I know…I know” look and held my hand out to receive my share of the winnings.

They say you can’t fix stupid … but you can fix your golf game with the 7 Minutes Golf Stretching DVD.

I hope you will be like Larry and give the stretching program a try.

Do you have a hard time trying to find time to do those exercises that you know you need to do in order to improve your golf game?

If you are like me you do have a hard time finding the time.

You are in luck. I have discovered some great golfing exercise you can do in the comfort of your own office or cubicle.

You do have plenty of time for your golf exercises.

I know you have time at work to do some simple golf exercises. Come on now, be honest, we all know you spend time surfing the internet. You also probably have some break and lunch times that you can use to get in your golf exercises. Heck, you could even do them before heading home for the day.

These exercises do not take long, some as little as 15 seconds. What, you don’t believe me? I am offended, not really, but let me give you a quick example called seated twists. This is a great exercise that will increase your flexibility for your golf swing.

To do the seated twist, all you need to do is sit down with your feet in front of you, your back straight and your chest lifted high. Now turn and reach behind you with your right arm, twisting your upper body. You should rotate as far as you can and hold for 10 seconds. Next reach turn and reach behind you with your left arm and hold for 10 seconds. Do this sequence 3 times.

How will this help my golf swing?

The golf swing is all about rotation movement. By doing the seated twist stretching exercise when ever you get the chance will improve your rotational flexibility thus allowing you to rotate farther on your backswing and follow-through.

This kind of exercise in your office is great for your golf game because it helps to develop your core muscles that are required for rotational movement. Think about it, when else are you going to develop these muscles in your daily routine?

For other great golf exercises I highly recommend Mike Pederson’s Golf Stretching DVD. All you need is 7 minutes of simple golf stretches to increase your power and improve your accuracy.
