Put your a$$ into it!

Last week I talked about the shoulders in golf, today it's the hips...better yet, that ass of yours.  Golf is no different from many other sports in that your hips are everything.  If you
can get your hip flexors and glutes strong, you will have a strong game (that is if you can deal with the wind, heat/cold, or everyone staring as you make the shot).

As with everything else in your body, you move as a unit, not individual parts.  So strengthening your glutes, while improving your golf game, will also make the rest of you much stronger and more resilient.

An easy way to strengthen your glutes is to just flex your glutes as you stand there.  You can target it much more, but that's something that you can do any day, anywhere, and without looking too weird while you do it.   Some of the other things that you can do look a little awkward and thus are unlikely to be performed in a much more public setting, unless you just don't care.

I've also alluded to the glutes being your "core" in a previous post, and thus I won't be saying much more about it here.  Just know this, your core is everything in the game of golf.  Weak core = weak game, strong core = strong game.

So put your ass into it, your game will thank you and you can probably get some $$ or whatever from your friends when you do it.
