    Golf WOD Fitness Program App Review

    Now that we have seen the distance impact of the Bryson bulk, golf workout programs are the new hot thing in the golf world. However, even before the Bryson bulk phenomenon hit, I had been doing various golf workout programs since around October 2019. About 4 months ago, i found out about Golf WOD from @Zen Snake on a thread on MGS. Since then, I have been doing various Golf WOD programs. Originally, the format was structured in multiple e-books that you purchase, for example: 6 week beginner program, 12 week power program, etc. The workouts follow a crossfit-like structure for those of you who are familiar with crossfit.

    Within the last month, Michael Dennington from founder of Golf WOD, introduced a new program via mobile app. Each day, a new set of workouts is posted by Michael. There are currently three workout options per day, "Athlete", "Lifestyle", and "Hybrid". Athlete and Lifestyle are both golf-centric crossfit-style workouts, whereas Hybrid is crossfit-style but more what I would call bodybuilding focused. 

    The price for the app is either $19.99 per month, or $99 for a one year subscription. I have been doing the lifestyle option workouts and although this is the "easiest" level, the workouts are hard as hell. The workouts are very well rounded and include strength exercises, exercises focused on explosion and rotation, conditioning, and mobility. Think deadlifts, squats, power cleans, med ball throws and slams, ab/core work, runs/jump rope/bike, etc.

    In addition to the workouts being presented daily via the app, there is also a movement library that shows videos on how to perform each exercise. There is also the ability to ask questions, which Michael responds to, and also the ability to interact with other subscribers. I asked Michael a question about what four mobility exercises would be best to perform on a daily basis with limited time available and Michael actually responded with a video the next day with exercises to answer my question. Lastly, there is ability to pay an additional fee and receive swing coaching from Michael. He is a PGA professional golf instructor.

    Overall, the Golf WOD app is my favorite golf-centric workout program (I have tried a number of them). Here is my overall summary:

    Pros:

    • The workouts are challenging. I found some other golf workout programs to be too easy, the Golf WOD programs are never easy, always pushing me to the next level
    • Multiple levels of difficulty. You can choose "Athlete", "Lifestyle", or "Hybrid" based on your preference
    • Video library of exercises. There are always exercises that I am not sure how to do so I can always check out the videos in the library on the app
    • Michael and the community are awesome. He always responds to comments/questions everyday on the app. Hoping this continues as the size of the community grows

    Cons:

    • In my opinion, you need to have some equipment (or access to equipment) to get the most of out of the program. I would say you need dumbbells, a kettlebell, and a medicine ball at a minimum. Strongly suggested would be to have a barbell for deadlifts and other strength exercises, and then some sort of cardio equipment (i mostly use a jump rope, i hate running)
    • If you aren't presently in good shape, it will take some time to ramp up, these workouts are hard
    • I am worried that the price will eventually go up, because most other programs out there are more expensive

    TLDR review: best value and best golf workout program out there in my opinion

    Is that all for one workout?

    One of the toughest shots is a backed off driver. Great thinking getting a 3W to fill the gap. Callaway used to make exactly what your looking for in the X line. Maybe find something with them.

    I think I saw a whole rack of X Line callaway stuff at my local Academy Sports, not sure if OP has one around but it's worth a gander. They also had a lot of TM M2 drivers, 3W, 5W, and hybrids.

    I think he looks just "FAT" The only way he put on muscle that fast is with enhancement drugs. I'm not sure how often the PGA drug test but I would bet money he is tested after his next win. Look at Rory the dude can pound drives and he weights what? 165lbs soaking wet? Rory has overall fitness, Dechambeau just has mass and I would think his flexibility has suffered. 

    Don't make him hangry. You wouldn't like him when hes...hangry.

    When I’m playing well it’s a straight iron and a slight cut off the driver. Straight is good, fades work and left means I’m all out of whack. 
     

    Yes, I can work the ball on command but I’ll take straight all day long. 

    I can't hit the ball straight. Theres always a fade or draw to it. My instructors working on that with me.

    Are golf equipment companies falsely representing their products?

    The amount that read it is probably the same amount of companies actually claiming it. The only brand I’ve seen make any claims was srixon and the small print wasn’t so small.  I don’t recall where it was advertised but somebody had posted here on mgs in another thread.

    Im curious if you can show me a company that’s advertising it and what their small print says.

    Taylormade was the culpruit. I can't remember what driver started it. They stopped using that distance line and went with more forgiveness and added in for the their sim +/- 20 yards on the draw/fade bias.
    Now after looking it's mostly "reviewers" saying they're gaining so much distance.

    I wandered into Target yesterday, which is a rare thing for me, but found Vice Pro and Cut Gray on the shelf for the same price as online. Decided to try the Cut Gray. Three pc ball with urethane cover at $20 vs $34 for current gen QST. can’t hurt to try. If they suck I’ll just buy last gen QST til they run out. 

    Wont go back to target, though. Very rude checkout lady. If I like Cut I’ll buy online. 

    Anyone else try the Cut Gray?

    I won't buy Cut ever again. I tried them out and liked them so I got the 10 dozen deal off amazon.

    They were the worst quality ball I've ever used. They cut (no pun intended) and scuffed up quickly. When I say quick, i mean quick as in a few holes quick. Half the balls were good but the other half scuffed and cut. And these weren't with all wedge shots either.

    I emailed them, no response. I commented on their facebook, they deleted the comment. I wasn't the only one this happened to either. F*** Cut golf.

    I can get on board with the Rangers (I’m just a baseball fan and enjoy all the teams) but I can’t get on board with this brees statement. Average at best

    Broooooooooo. If you put Brees on the patriots with everyone that brady had they would've won waaaaay more Superbowls. Brees has how many records? It's hard to argue his GOAT status with the records he has.

    A tad late to the game but I'll give it a go as well. This scorecard doesn't really show how dangerous some of these holes are.

    Take 6 for example. Looks to be an easy par three but if you hit is short the entire front is a bunker that is 10ft lower than the green.

    The 8th sucks depending on pin location. If they put it in the back it's on a shelf maybe 10-12 feet wide and then dramatically slopes all the way down so if you miss it, your putt is around 40 feet uphill and at a slope.
