Forget A New $300 Driver And Do P90X

Any golfer would love to be able to hit the long ball. Being able to out drive your friends every time you step up to the tee box is a huge advantage regardless of how good you are. It does not matter who you are, everybody appreciates a bit hit.

How do these big hitters get the golf ball out there so far? Is it the clubs? Unfortunately, no. The technology that has come out in the last five years has been a big help. Titanium drivers with over sized club heads and graphite shafts does not hurt. When word gets out about the newest club every body goes and buy it leveling the field again. You are hitting the ball five to ten yards farther now because of the club but how are you going to be able to hit it farther to out drive your buddies again?

It really is a simple answer. It's your body that needs a upgrade. It's easier to spend money on a new club then it is trying to get into shape. Since it's not a physical game and swinging a club is not hard to do there is not much emphasis put on it. This is when you need to step back and think about what the pros do. Think Tiger Woods. Tiger spends three hours in the gym doing stretching, weight training, and cardio. Is it sinking in why he always leads the PGA in average driving distance.

How does somebody who plays once a week get into shape like him? If you have tons of money to drop on personal trainers and gyms you could do that. You probably don't. What you should do is the P90X workout. This is a exercise progam that works on the muscles needed to have a solid golf swing. A golf swing uses so much core strength to keep it on a level plane. P90X works on your core, arms, legs, back, and others. The best part is that you can do it all from your home and not have to worry about going to the gym and doing exercises you don't know how to do in front of a crowd. With it being a 90 day workout program you could gain all the strength you need to get the distance back on your drive by the time golf season rolls around.

The best golf exericse is already waiting for you and you should go buy P90X today. It will work on all of your weak areas and build them up to compliment your strengths. Forget about spending $300 on the latest and greatest driver every year and instead invest half of that money on your body and get into shape for golf season.
