    It's just about lunch time here on the east coast, and it seems like the same question always jumps into my head at about 11:20am... do I hit to the gym for a workout, go outside for a run or do I head to the range to work on the swing?

    Definitely golfer problems... what's your vote?

    Hahaha!

    that's a great question Mike. Tomorrow being Friday will you be playing? If so, I would hit the range.

    No game lined up for tomorrow. I'll be in the office following all of the action at Oak Hill.

    In that case, go play a round instead. If you're anything like me and have to work through a weekend, productivity seems to go down when my weekly dose of golf has not been fulfilled.

    P.S. I'm only a couple of hours away, let me know where to meet you.

    Sounds like you might need a defined weekly calendar.  Monday (gym), Tuesday, (run), Wednesday (range)..... :)

    Depending on your local weather, I would go for a run or hit the range. You can hit the gym anytime (spoken like a true procrastinator).

    Vary it on your week, If you do each one at least once a week, you will be better off in the long run. I can't run(4 knee surgeries so far on the same knee) but I bike. Major watching is a distraction for sure.

    My routine is get up in the am and workout 4-5 days a week - run/walk/stretch/free weights.  But then again, I'm Tom Watson's age.  I need to do this to be able to stop by the range in the evening if I need to work on something.  Pounding balls without purpose, besides of no benefit, is something I can't do daily.   Unless you can really focus on the range, I'd stick to body work.  The point of the lunch workout is to relax the mind.

    Swing a few a keep the muscles grooved.  I don't personally like afternoon workouts.

    The range!  Any time spent with a golf club is better than any alternative ( wifes/girlfriends excluded of course)

    I'm thinking practice putting green to work on my inside 10-foot putts!

    Good call!

    It took a lot of internal dialogue back-and-forth, but in the end... the 4.25 mile run won out.

    Maybe I'll be able to sneak in a quick range session to work on the short game on the ride home... and then I might have to explore the weekly schedule approach. It's always good to have a planned routine to help take the guess work out.

    Cheers!

    I would head out to the range. Whenever I'm watching golf, I always like to head to the range after.

    Mitchell Gordon voted for a teeball season followed by a swing, so that is what we did at lunchtime.

    only problem no beer after like after around of golf or quick run.

    Work on the swing - you can be out of shape and still make a good swing. You can be in tip-top condition and still make a bad swing.

  21. The run will be some good cardio for ya Mike. 

    I myself will take a jog by the lake one day. The next, I'll do golf related stretches (with some light weights), and use resistance tubes. I'll alternate between those things every week. I tell you what though, I have to use a push mower to mow my one yard due to all of the trees. By the time I'm done doing that, I call it a day, haha. 

    Of course, when I'm not playing or practicing, I have a putting green and hitting area in my house, and the same outside with a bunker. I'm sure that Dave Phillips and Dr. Rose could throw you some great ideas!

    Since I don't work in the business world of golf, I'll go to the range!

    I would suggest go to the range.

    I say go to the range. If you hit enough balls, then you can count it as a workout.  Since you live up north, take advantage of the nice weather while you have it, besides you can hit the gym in the winter.
