Tom's Featured Tip: Nutrition - Strength Supplements For Golfers
For simplicity, all advice on actual swings or drills is provided from a right handed perspective.
I know a lot of my readers might only want to read about pure golf tips, but strength supplementation actually is a golf tip if you want to hit the ball farther.
Ingesting some form of protein during your round will keep your body and your brain on an even keel, and it will help maintain focus on the back nine.
When I coached at the college level, I always had my guys and girl nibbling on nuts or nut mixes while they played. To this day I feel that it was a contributing factor to their success.
Here are my personal experiences with a couple of popular supplements.
I'm no spring chicken (born in 1946) but I have a decent weights setup in my basement for progressive resistance training that I use religiously for a full body workout twice per week. That's optimal for my recovery rate.
CREATINE
In the interest of trying to gain strength, I started taking creatine as a supplement to my training about a year ago. I had tried this in the past, but I found that the powders available at the time didn't dissolve well, so I got away from it.
I had a friend that was using a hydrolized form of creatine that he swore by, so I started taking it about a year ago.
I did my research first, and it said that it was a safe supplement to use as long as no kidney problems exist.
It not only tasted good, but the results in my workouts were amazing. I was making very substantial gains.
Then in a routine physical blood test in January of this year, my creatinen level was up, and it also showed a problem with a kidney.
I stopped taking the creatine, and in a blood test last week everything was back to normal - Thank God.
Needless to say, I'm not taking it any more, obviously it's not worth the risk for me.
PROTEIN SHAKES
I'm also a believer in protein shakes to maintain adequate levels of protein as I age without eating like a horse.
I had been drinking Premier Protein shakes because they gave the most bang for the buck for grams of protein per shake.
Then about a month ago, I saw some research on the worst protein drinks - and you guessed it, Premier Protein was on the list, alongside Boost and many other very popular brands. The problem was the additives for flavoring.
So I switched to a brand I saw on a Top Ten Best List - Orgain Organic Protein Nutritional Protein Shake, with 26g of grass fed protein.
As a matter of fact I'm drinking one as I write this newsletter.
My decision was reinforced Sunday when I researched what Bryson DeChambeau has done to turn him into a stronger version of himself that's now hitting the ball longer than anyone else on Tour.
In addition to his strength training, he's been drinking 5 protein shakes per day - Orgain Organic Protein Nutritional Protein Shakes to be exact.
If they're good enough for him, they're good enough for me.
Take one to the course when you play, and start sipping it on the fourth hole. You'll find that your energy and concentration will last the full 18 holes.
Try it, you'll definitely like it.
