I saw the latest comment from Chamblee about how many majors Tiger would've won had he not started weight training (https://www.golfchannel.com/article...mblee-lifting-weights-cost-tiger-many-majors/) and it got my wheels turning.
Combined with the multiple threads I've seen about certain swing coaches philosophies resulting in back injuries, I'm wondering...why is weight training considered a negative when golfers are doing it? As far as I'm concerned, the more movement, the better and I fail to see how the weight training these golfers are doing is causing them problems. As a golf junkie who spends quite a bit of time in the gym, I personally find this logic flawed. I'm curious to hear the takes on why this may be. Is it because it involve Tiger? Or is it because the prototypical PGA player is 6ish feet and 160ish pounds soaking wet? Let's discuss!
