Lard
Yes, Lard, ugly
fat, impedimenta, your gut, extra baggage....what
would be the most important thing you could do
for your golf? . . . learn another
"trick" for your already befuddled
swing OR drop some baggage? I submit the
following for your ponderment.
Ben Hogan, Sam
Snead, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus
(in prime), Tiger, David Duval. Think about
this...they were all in great shape. Arnie looked
like a full back.
Sam could pass for
a star athlete in any sport. Gary and Ben, tough
as nails. Tiger and David workout and eat
correctly.....stomachs flat as a table.
Think about
this....near greats...Billy Casper, Lee T., Phil
M., and many many others who could have been
better. What was missing....conditioning. How
good do you think Tiger would be with a 42"
waist?
The diff between
the greats and near greats and also rans could
have been the amount of lard they were toting.
Jack could probably have his original hip if he
didn't have a weight problem. And.....I will bet
ya that if he would drop the extra baggage, get
serious about nutrition, do some yoga, lift some
weights, and ease the club back a little further
(easier if your not swinging around a gut)....
that he would have a few more horse races left in
him.
Go pick up a 20 or
30#...or 40# dumbbell and walk around with it for
a while. Try doing this for 18 holes. It is not
only more difficult to swing around a fat middle
but you can be super tired after an 18 hole
stroll. These dumbbells represent the extra
weight you are lugging around, Chubby.
Lets have a golf
match between Tiger and Jack. Lets say they both
have to be the same age. But....Tiger has to use
Jacks body and Jack gets to use Tigers. Do NOT
misunderstand my point..... I am focusing on
conditioning. Who are you going to put your
nickel on?
Golfers sit around
and discuss the importance of the left wrist and
dominant eye and other nonsense when their focus
should be on dropping the ugly fat.
Your best golf?
Stand in front of the mirror naked and see if you
can find the culprit.
Better yet, hop in
your shorts and have someone take a front and
side picture of you....You may be shocked.
Reach down, right
now and pinch your stomach. Whatcha got? Pinch an
1" or more.....how about a hand full? Want
to swing back further...it is not your
flexibility its your gut. Want to walk 18 holes
without life support? Drop the lard. It is the
single most important thing you can do. I could
never had taken a 30 year lay off from golf and
come back "swingin like a kid" if I had
a pot.
