Tom's Featured Tip: Tight Hip Flexor Cure
I was going to call this tip "Foam Roller Bargain" you'll see why when you read on.
Pardon the departure from my normal golf specific tip, but I thought many reading this might benefit, enjoy!
Over the course of this winter I spent a lot of time at my desk being relatively sedentary, and I developed a tightness in my left hip flexor muscle. I also believe that I pulled it when I was doing an aggressive lunge exercise a couple months ago.
I had seen an article on foam rolling the sartorious muscle - click on the image to get to the article and video:
I talked it over with my daughter Colleen, who is a Physical Therapy Assistant at the V.A. and asked her what her opinion was of foam rollers for rehabbing injuries like mine. She agreed that it might be a good idea, so she gave me a few other exercises and I was off to buy a foam roller.
The first place I went was a major sporting goods store, and the foam roller I wanted was around $70.
Then something very unusual for me happened - I didn't buy it :-).
It looked like a lot for such a simple device, so I left the store thinking that I'd make my own out of some PVC and foam. I called my daughter again, and she mentioned that a patient of hers found one at the $5 and Under Store, which was about 100 yards from where I was parked.
Sure enough, they had one that cost $5! Not as fancy as the $70 one, but it was the right size and it totally gets the job done.
I've only been using it for a few days, but I've noticed more range in my left hip area already.
If you have a sedentary lifestyle and want to maintain some flexibility in your hip area for your golf swing, try the exercise above - and the $5 foam roller - I think you'll like it.

Tom's Bonus Tip: Unconditional Self Confidence
Take the time to appreciate a good shot as it flies to the target and settles down just like you imagined it would in your mind. This will imprint a positive image in your mind and build confidence.
Then, after your round, instead of thinking about your poor shots and bad breaks, spend a few minutes reflecting on your good decisions and good shots.
These simple actions help you build unconditional self confidence, and when you have that everything improves!
Try it, you'll like it!
