I hit the gym for the first time in a couple of months Monday. Now I am paying the price for it. All I did was shoulder and back work, but it is killing me. I was so sore that THE WOMAN had to help me get my shirt off last night. It was the highlight of her day.
Today is chest and arms. A big part of me is wanting to beg off, but I know that I can’t. Not that I’m really into the pain, or that I have a great desire to be in shape, or anything. This is all a part of trying to be a better golfer.
My swing is pretty much leveled out as far as technique goes and progress on that front is going to be in small steps from now on. With that being the case the only way to add more distance is to become more powerful. I can do that by being stronger and more flexible. More daily stretches will help on the second part of the equation, but I’ve got to lift iron to improve the first part. Hopefully I can ride out the soreness for a couple of weeks and see the results on the range.
I’m still nowhere near as consistent as I need to be. With all the work I put into my game THE WOMAN is nearly as good and she spends no real time working on her game. It’s not something that I’m proud of.
Time to work now. It’s something my bosses expect me to do everyday.
