I could literally feel the stability in my hips and legs, which was clearly enabling me to generate more force and thus more clubhead speed, whilst simultaneously allowing me to return the clubhead to the right spot more often prior to impact with the ball. All in all it was the most enjoyable round of golf I've ever played, and just another reason to be thankful for Starting Strength!
