USE THE BIG MUSCLES TO LAUNCH YOUR DRIVES.
You might wonder what a woman who is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 126 pounds can teach you about hitting big drives. Well, my average swing speed with the driver is around 99 miles per hour. The average male amateur swings it 93.4 mph, according to TrackMan. I can carry the ball 240 yards in the air. That average guy’s total yardage with a driver is 219, according to Game Golf. So you might say I’m qualified. I create a lot of power for my size. Some of it comes because I spend a lot of time working on strength, power and flexibility in the gym. But I’ve also learned how to use every ounce of force I can create with my biggest muscles, and then coordinate that energy with the swinging of the club. In other words, I might be small, but I’m getting all I can from my body. You can, too. I’m going to show you how to use your body to generate more power with the driver and make good use of it. You’ll be booming it in no time. ugh — WITH RON KASPRISKE

What's Next For Carson Palmer?
Carson Palmer is an old football player in the prime of his golf life. The 2002 Heisman Trophy winner, now 37, recently took a month to decide if his body could survive another NFL season at quarterback. The answer, to the relief of Arizona Cardinals fans, was yes, and so Palmer’s dream of playing golf every day will wait a little longer. “Some guys wonder if they’ll get bored with golf in retirement, but I don’t envision ever having that problem,” says Palmer, who is “always up for 36 in a heartbeat” when being a dad to two young kids allows it.
