There are some subjects I’m simply not qualified enough to cover here. (The peanut gallery can keep it’s comments to itself). Strength and fitness are certainly categories that I don’t know much about. But strength and fitness are going to become more and more important for me (I’m not getting any younger), and it’s certainly an area that can help improve my game if I put some work into it.
I’d like to introduce Mike Pedersen. Mike is the web’s foremost golf fitness guru (yes you have to be a guru of some sort to write for this web site). Mike will be providing us with some great articles on strength, fitness, training, flexibility and much more. His first article will be posted today!
Mike also has several web sites of his own and some great products to help you with your game. Check out Perform Better Golf for more info.
A press release from some golf business pals of mine:

My buddy Luke Swilor is an aspiring pro. He can play. I’ve witnessed it in person. But in order to get into certain mini tours or events he needs dough. Specifically there’s a great tour he can get into, but he needs to front $6000. If he plays well he’ll get his dough back plus much more.
So any of you golf companies or just generous individuals want to invest in a young golfer and give him a chance? We don’t need one company to pony up $6K if we can get perhaps 10 to put in $600? Just a thought. We could chronicle his progress here and of course on his site.
Below is the first day of the match play pairings for this week’s Accenture Match Play. Comment in your picks and we’ll see who does the best. Sorry, can’t do any prizes this time…I’m all prized and confused.
I’ll try to keep these tables posted here, but I’ll be in the midst of a much needed golf vacation and I don’t know if I’ll find a connection to post anywhere.
Keep track of your own win/loss record.
