Well,I just came from the range and worked on all the suggestions you all gave me.
Had a great session!
Took my time with alignment and and did not lead with my hips like I used to.
I had been thinking of buying a different driver but-get this-went form 190 yards to 240 by just Working out with dumb bells! Had this driver for over a year and NEVER hit it that far.3 shots over 240.Wish I could see better to see where they rolled to!Of course it helped to take my time and catch it flush on the center of the sweet spot.
So,this is a thank you to you all.Sometimes equipment is not the answer.

Congratulations with your breakthrough: The improvement of distance with the driver in such a short time frame is absolutely superb!

Thank you.I am a lot stronger.When I hit a good one it seems effortless.

thats how it is supposed to feel. and thats what keeps me coming back to this game again and again. i could have my worst day ever on the golf course and want to quit golf until im at the 18th teebox and hit a wonderful drive that sails right down the middle of the fairway and i didnt even feel the club hit the ball. One of those shots that just feels like a practice swing...

Would you mind sharing what type exercises you are doing with dumb bells? Pretty please!

I work out, and my good drives go about 300 (I average about 260). I am not swinging for the fences either...

Hint: a golf swing involves your entire body, including your lower body! A full body workout routine will increase your distance dramatically. It also increases your consistency, since stronger muscles have better muscle memory.

i didnt know bells could get dumb... i though they were just knocked around with a ball...

First,you have to get the type you can add and remove weight plates to so you can increase the weight as you get stronger.The handles and assorted plates should be under $40.00.

I do 6 to 10 sets a day till my upper body is completely sore,usually 5 or 6 days.Try to do at least 12 reps and increase weight when I get to 20 or so.
I do 2 different types of curls-one with the bars parallel and one with the bars vertical.For the chest and shoulders I hold the bars vertical close together in front of my chest and open my arms and bring them back.This one mimics pulling the club across the body.It is rather uncomfortable but you will get stronger quickly.Also ,hold the bars parallel above your shoulders and do presses.For your back,bend over with the dumbbell hanging down and pull it to your shoulder to work your lats.For your shoulders;hold the dumbbells at your side and raise them to horizontal.
For you side stomach muscles hold the dumbbells at your side and just twist back and forth.I also try to walk on a regular basis.You should alternate the muscle groups every other day.
I went from 15 lbs to 35 lbs on the dumbbells in 5 weeks.

Be careful,especially in the beginning and don't do too many reps or sets till you get used to working out.If you have any medical problems see an M.D. first.
I keep the dumbbells on a chair in the livingroom so when I get up to EAT I can punish my self!
