Let's face it ladies you are not built like a man. Men have natural upper body strength that is tailor made for swinging clubs.

It is part of a man’s mythos - he pictures himself saying “me caveman, me bash, bash, and bash!” The average man addresses the ball with one intention - to send it as far down the fairway and as close to, if not on the green.

In golf, strength does count: to control your club, to power through wet thick grass, and stamina to continue swinging your clubs through 18 or 27 holes of golf. You can find it through strength training.

Do the following exercise three times a week resting a day in between:

Move your club through your back swing and then down and up into your follow through. Repeat as many times as you can until your muscles begin to burn, rest about five minutes and then repeat again until muscles are exhausted. You must not swing the club as if you were stretching in preparation to play. Swing so that your muscles are involved in the club's movement. Do not allow the club's own weight and momentum to help you through the swing. For best game results do not do this exercise the day before or the day you plan to play.
