Summary:So it's a snowy day in January. You haven't touched your golf clubs since October. And the boss says you can go to a conference next month at a golf resort in Florida or Arizona. Wrong, says Randy Myers, who trains experts, novices and retirees at the PGA National Resort & Spa near West Palm Beach on Florida's East Coast. It is the headquarters for the Professional Golfers of America. Every swing of the golf club puts pressure on the hips, legs, shoulders and particularly the back, says Myers. If your muscles are tight, you could hurt yourself. He tells stories of out-of-shape golfers lying flat on their backs on the first tee. He prefers the image of the chairman of the board leading company executives in a series of stretching exercises before playing.
