So.... was I right about all the fat guys fading at the end. Only Jason Gore managed to hang around to day 3, but he couldn't keep it up into the 4th...and look at the leader board...Fit guy after fit guy with an occasional fat guy.Pat Perez was up there for a bit--so count one for the fat guys...
Now that I said "I told you so..."
I want to talk to you about hitting your stride on the golf course...pacing in other words.
When you warm up properly---with the exercises that you learn from me (or some other trainer that knows what the hell he's talking about)--you won't have to spend as much time on the range before your round "loosening up" and you can spend your range time actually grooving your swing. Think about it this way:
When a major league pitcher is in the bullpen warming up before the game, do you think he got there cold and decided to "loosen up" while he throws? In the old days yes, NOW? Not so much. NOW the pitcher spends 20 minutes with the strength coach stretching and lengthening his muscles--so that his bullpen sessions before the game are more productive---and because of this he hits his stride much much sooner.
In 1985 the average first inning pitch count was about 17 pitches. In 2008 the average first inning pitch count was just over 14. 3 pitches--and that is because he has spent more time grooving his arm angle and his release point and less time "loosening up"
The same should be true of your game. Spend your time doing your prescribed stretches and warms ups BEFORE you hit the range and then spend your range time hitting your clubs and getting your swing in order before you go to the 1st tee.
Hit your stride two or three holes sooner and watch those scores DROP!
See ya!
