All of the above. Golfers can benefit from both stamina and strength training as it relates to being applied to the course.

Sit-ups and push-ups

Running 4 to 5k consistently and yoga. Also if you practice often for long periods that will also help build stamina

Here is my dilemma: I was passed up for manager promo last year and rightfully so a lot of my feedback was definitely correlated to me not properly handing my symptoms causing a good bit of inconsistencies in my performance especially if I lacked interest. This year I’ve crushed it and switched up projects off of ones that I’ve long been on.

Googling ADHD today (I’m having a distracted day) and super frustrated because I’m realizing that I was likely misdiagnosed as depressed for years. I was taking SSRIs and dealing with awful side effects while I struggled for so long. I finally got an official diagnosis about 10 years ago but was never taught the symptoms or how to manage them. Found you tube channel ADDitutde magazine. Several really good presentations with recent developments Thought I’d share.

Curious to get some input: looking into a golf getaway for my birthday in late February and really honing in on either Kiawah or Pinehurst.

Been to Kiawah before around that time of year and loved it-- the Ocean Course was my favorite golf experience, but I also feel the urge to try something else. Thoughts? TIA!

Got in one last round before the weather gets ugly for a bit. Supposed to play in a Scramble on Saturday, but with 38* and snow flurries, I'm not sure if that'll actually happen.

Love fall golf... But once it gets under 50*, especially if it's windy, I can't say I enjoy myself all that much.
