Answer 4

It might not be the first thing you think of, but concentrate on exercises that develop your legs and core (abs/back/chest).

Legs - leg lifts, running, squats, lunges...

Core - crunches (tons of different twists for variety and getting specific areas); back exercises (go easy, don't want to s***w your back up when you're young); bench press; push-ups

Check out a site like MensHealth.com for other good exercises and information on proper technique, # of reps, etc.

A lot of your power in the golf swing comes from your legs and back. A huge upper body will still only get you so much power and distance, since the swing is a full-body motion.

Also, look into some balance and flexibility training. Improving your balance will help give you a strong foundation and keep you from slipping during your swings, and increasing your flexibility will increase your range of motion for another little boost.

Best of luck!

It is excellent if you start with chip shots and work up through your bag, so swing changes are minimal on the range. Work your way back down through the bag and always end with the shortest wedge you have (this way your swing is set in the slowest gear and you won't be apt to swing too hard). For putting, chose a hole with a slight break. Putt in circles around it, so you get a look at the hole from all angles. This also makes you adjust speed as you change angles.
