| "What to look for in your Golf Fitness Training Program" It is no secret that resistance training exercise will have a tremendous impact in a persons’ athletic performance. Golf is still pretty new to this secret, but is quickly seeing all of the benefits strength training has on a persons’ golf swing, game performance and endurance. In fact any kind of strength training is creating immediate impact on players. Golf Specific Exercises and Golf Fitness Exercise programs are popping up everywhere, but the truth is this “if you are an avid golfer and have never exercised with weights before and started a very basic strength training program, you would see some improvement to your game” says Rafael Moret, creator of the Miami Golf Fitness Program. “The key is to start a program that delivers not only overall conditioning, but golf specific strengthening exercises and injury prevention techniques with specific stretching for the golf player”. “As a Golf Fitness Instructor there are very specific things that my clients look for to make their games better” said Rafael. “Golf players are looking to strengthen their backs to reduce lower back pain, develop strength in their swing, add more stability to their stance, and stretch all the muscles that tighten up with their game”. The Miami Golf Fitness Program is divided into 4 segments to help cover all the need of the golf player: 1. Injury Prevention Exercise Drills 2. Total Body Conditioning Circuit and Endurance Program 3. Golf Specific Strength Training Exercises 4. Golf Specific Stretching and Flexibility In his new FREE Golf Fitness E-Book "The Top Seven Stretches You Need Before You Play" Moret shows how, with a few simple stretches you can increase your golf swing speed, add ridiculous distance to all of your shots, and...ELIMINATE back pain.

| Is Tiger Really The Best? Tiger has just won his 12th major and all the other players know that, right now he is the best. But why is that? Everyone has access to the same equipment Tiger has. They can practice on the same courses he does. The rules are the same for everyone. So what is it? Simple, Tiger is a better conditioned athlete! “Look at most other sports” says Rafael Moret,CSCS , creator of The Miami Golf Fitness Program “If an athlete at a professional level trains hard during the off season, then he or she will most likely show up in good condition for training camp or pre-season, but as the season starts and continues it is only the Elite athletes that continued their progressive training regimens that shine over the rest, and Tiger is no different”. A few years ago when it was reported that Tiger incorporated weight training into his program and that is was giving him an edge, a few of the other players tried it and instantly saw results from this type of training regimen. Tiger Woods said in an interview on PGA. com “The guys understand that you have to do it now. The game has changed so much. In order to compete and hit the ball as far as some of the guys are hitting it now, you've got to get in there and spend the time. You've got to get stronger and you've got to get more flexible. Look at the scores we're shooting now on the golf courses that are so long, you really have to get in there now. You can't afford not to”. But to get better you have to consistently strive for more and just like every body, every human body that is Tiger had adapted to this and needed more, and not just a workout with weights. Squat and bench pressing might make you stronger but they won’t help your swing or your game. He needed a golf specific strength training program and he need to do it on a regularly during the season and even during the tournaments he plays in. That is what separates him from the pack. Not only is he incorporating an athletic training program for his sport, he is doing it on a consistent basis. Now, you add his superior athletic performance with his knowledge and understanding of the game of Golf and that gives you 12 Majors and 51 victories and years of more supremacy to come.

| Is Tiger's winning streak still intact? by DOUG FERGUSON, Associated Press CHANDLER'S CROSS, England - Keeping track of records can get muddled when Tiger Woods travels around the world, so there was a debate Wednesday whether his winning streak was dead or alive. The answer was both. "It ended two weeks ago," Woods said. After five straight victories from the British Open in July to the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston the first week of September, Woods lost in the first round of the World Match Play Championship at Wentworth. But that's a European Tour event. "I'm going for six in a row on our tour," Woods said at the American Express Championship, where he is defending his title at a World Golf Championship that counts as official on all six of the major tours. "But not six in a row tournament-wise, because I've played two since then and lost both." The other loss was at the Ryder Cup, still a popular topic this week. Woods also won six straight on the PGA Tour at the end of 1999 and the start of 2000, although he finished sixth in between that streak at the Johnnie Walker Classic, another European Tour event. That matched the second-longest streak on the PGA Tour, barely more than halfway home to the record not even Woods believes will be broken. Byron Nelson, who died Tuesday at his ranch in Texas, owns the record of 11 consecutive victories in 1945. "His record is still remarkable that particular year," Woods said. "His 12th event, he finished second, and then he won the very next one. So that's 12 out of 13, and the worst he finished was second. That's pretty good. And 18 (victories) in one year. I don't play that many tournaments, so I can't get to 18." Asked whether 11 in a row was possible now, Woods said probably not. "The competition is so much deeper now," he said. "Back in his day - I actually talked to him about this - he said he had to beat four or five guys every week. And when you're hot, that's not hard to do. That's not the case anymore. It's 40 or 50 now, so it's a lot different." This might be one of the easier weeks. Sure, the World Golf Championships attract the best players from around the world. The criteria for this one is top 50 in the world ranking, and money leaders from the PGA, European, Australasian, Japan, South African and Asian tours. Phil Mickelson and Vaughn Taylor are the only Americans from the Ryder Cup not at The Grove, an estate north of London. Taylor didn't qualify and Mickelson likely is done playing until the Bob Hope Classic. The only European who didn't qualify was Paul McGinley. Others who withdrew include Ben Curtis and U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, who are new fathers; and Davis Love III, who wanted to spend time with his family after his daughter's friend was killed in a car accident. That leaves only 63 players in the world, a small number of players for anyone to beat. And some of them are still hung over from the Ryder Cup, figuratively and literally. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem was staying at The K Club last week during the Ryder Cup, and just his luck, he and his wife were in a room directly above the Europeans' team room where they celebrated a resounding victory. "We dozed off around 6 a.m.," Finchem said. Lee Westwood went unbeaten while playing all five matches for the second straight time, and he was so weakened by a chest cold that he took a nap before the party. He limited himself to about five celebratory drinks. "It's the most sober I've ever been on Monday morning after a Ryder Cup," he said. Still coughing and wheezing on Wednesday, he was hard-pressed to recognize that a World Golf Championship was at stake this week, with a $7.5 million purse. It reminded him of Hilton Head, described by many as a working vacation because of the enormous buildup to the Masters, which is held the week before. "Any time after something you've really built yourself up for, it's always difficult to get up the next week," he said. Jim Furyk felt the same way. He has long supported the Million Dollar Challenge in South Africa, missing only the year it was held the week after the Presidents Cup. And he wouldn't mind being home this week, in part because he has been away from his two small children for the last two weeks. "If I had my druthers, I would never play the week after a Presidents Cup or a Ryder Cup because it's an emotional high or letdown either way," Furyk said. "If you play well and the team wins and you have a great time, it's tough to get your thoughts back in it. If the team loses, you're in a grouchy mood and you don't want to turn around and think about, 'What am I going to work on tomorrow? How am I going to get ready for this tournament?'" Woods and Furyk are on their third week in Britain and Ireland. "I'm just looking forward to getting back to the States and seeing the sun," Woods said. Then again, he hasn't exactly lit it up over here. A first-round loss at Wentworth. Another Ryder Cup rout in Ireland. His last chance is the American Express Championship, and a chance to keep alive his winning streak, even though it's really dead. Copyright 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

| Is Tiger Woods Cheating? Recently Tiger has been roaring, dominating the PGA as if he was invincible. First it was the British Open, then the Buick Open followed by the PGA Championship , The Bridgestone Invitational and finally the Deutsche Bank Championship . What’s going on here? Where is every one else? It’s not as if Tiger is first and the same other guy is second every week. It’s always someone new. So what is it? Let’s look at other sports, if this type of thing was going on another sport people would begin to suspect foul play. So let’s look at Tiger, is he cheating? “ I think so” says Rafael Moret, CSCS, owner of MiamiGolfFitness.com. “ I remember him exiting the first round of the World Match Play tournament a few weeks ago and what he said during the interview led me to believe that he in fact is cheating” Tiger said “Well, I think I’ll go workout now.” “I think I’ll go workout now” what kind of golfer says that. Especially after exiting in the first round of a tournament. Shouldn’t he be on his way to the range to hit some balls? Shouldn’t he been on his way to dinner and to relax after long golf day? Maybe he should have been complaining that something went wrong with the course or his equipment. Well the truth of the matter is this, Tiger is guilty of cheating. He has more mental determination to condition himself as a superior athlete than anyone else on the course and that is an unfair advantage. While everyone else is sleeping, Tiger is out running. While the other guys are having lunch, Tiger is in the Gym. While the other guys are driving to the range, Tiger has finished playing a practice round. “Developing consistency in your performance enhancing exercise routine is the key to success” says Rafael. You can not expect Tiger like results with bad workout habits and an inferior exercise program. “Developing sports specific conditioning programs is what helps athletes condition themselves for their sport. So you can not expect great results from a workout routine for a bodybuilder you cut out of a magazine”. If Tiger continues to strive for greater results and pushing himself to become better, there will be no stopping him. Every time a tournament starts, players from all over the world will be coming playing for second place. Every week we will be watching to see who will fall to Tiger next! |
