Great golf instruction never gets old.

Our interview library features hundreds of hours of game improvement conversations like this

that are no longer available in any podcast app. You've probably seen people with very short

back swings. So if you can actually create a little bit more of a back swing, you're going to have a

much more fluid follow through. And that just adds 10, 15, 20 yards. And as I've been doing this now

for six years,

I've slowly increased my driving distance like about five to 10 yards every year. And that's

an accumulation of all the flexibility stuff, of all the balancing on trying to get my

shoulders to rotate a little bit farther, sort of like lessening my upper back muscle mass

because I'm not training really heavy in during the summer anymore like I do during the winter for when I ski.

And it's just basically balancing out and trying to do things that are applicable for golf.

You're bent over is one of the hardest things on back compared to doing exercises where you're standing upright.

And when you go in golf posture, a lot of people can't stay in golf posture.

They have a other a C spine, it's very rounded, or it's over-extended, and it's almost like a hyper-extended state.

And that creates tremendous pressure in their back, and a lot of guys stand up.

And as soon as you stand up, you've lost your swing.
