    Golf Fitness Do you or Don't you??

    Sad to hear that. Keep up the work though, and it will eventually pay off. I injured my back and hip through coming off a bike and then a couple of years later through a car accident. Sometimes it really hurt, and my mobility was reduced to nothing. Was a frustrating time, but I kept it up...

    Golf Fitness Do you or Don't you??

    Actually, heavy and less reps is very good for strength, heavy and medium reps (say 8-10) is good for hypertrophy. Light and many reps is good for wasting hours of time in the gym. Actually that's slightly harsh, you will work on muscle endurance and be aerobic. On the golf swing speed thought...

    Golf Fitness Do you or Don't you??

    That's why 100m sprinters are all waif like creatures, otherwise they would lose their speed, oh wait... On a serious note, this is a very common misconception, but it's not true. Lifting light weights with high reps is generally a waste of time. Better to lift heavy weights explosively (using...

    Golf Fitness Do you or Don't you??

    Have you considered that pain may be due to the lack of fitness? You might find that getting fitter actually helps with this, if done the right way. Hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but I think the reasons you give could be used as motivation to get fitter rather than blockages to...

    One reason dislike car "main dealers"

    Which dealer? Just in case you were not aware, most Merc dealerships offer 10% off parts and 20% off labour if the car is over 3 years old, and 10% off parts and 40% off labour if more than 5 years old.

    Dress Codes

    Lucky this is a golf forum and not a table football one, or there would be even more outrage about the dress code! http://www.table-soccer.org/dress_code/

    Longest drive ?

    What I find amusing is the arguing between the long hitters and the short hitters... :rolleyes: On a serious note, there is no doubt at all that there are a fair few big hitters out there, who are not PGA tour pros. I think the real mirth from the doubters is around the number of them. I've...

    Comet.

    If you can be bothered and you really can't find the item elsewhere for a decent price, the trick is to take out the warranty and get the cheap price. You are given a cooling off period for the warranty, so you can just cancel it within this period. You won't win any friends with the sales...

    Do not go to a Pysio if you have Sciatica

    I'm not any of the professions mentioned previously, but just to defend all the different types of practioners who are taking some stick here, I do think it is a bit of a two way thing. Would it be fair to assume that all the people who didn't get 100% perfect results from treatment all had...

    Winter Clothing

    As the OP is from Surrey, I would guess he is a member or plays at Wimbledon common, which I believe has a rule that golfers must wear red tops. See the paragraph playing conditions. http://www.wcgc.co.uk/visitors/

    More course time needed but her indoors just isnt playing ball.... HELP!!!

    Completely off the wall suggestion, but have you considered discussing it with her, rather than a load of blokes on a golf forum?

    Probably his pride and joy

    I assume really that you are referring to driving defensively, and so making the assumption that if something bad can potentially happen especially through someone elses actions, you are prepared for it. Thats (not so) common sense. There's a rationale behind what you are doing, I (maybe...

    Probably his pride and joy

    I thought in this country, the burden was to prove guilt. "Innocent until proven guilty" and all that. I know stereotypes have a reason for why they exist, but it is a bit of a sad reflection if we really are willing to judge people we don't know this harshly.

    Was thinking the same. having shite taste doesn't mean that someone must be a bad person. :(
