Every golfer has new years resolutions, and over at GOLF, a handful of guys are spending the early months of 2020 making good on those. A motley crew of Senior Writer Dylan Dethier, Social Media Editor Tim Reilly, and Zephyr Melton, the new kid at GOLF.com and GOLF Magazine, embarked on SuperSpeed’s six-week Level 1 Training Protocol. After slacking off in week 3, one editor came back nursing an injury, and all four showed signs of rust…
Dylan (Handicap: +3.3)
I have very little to add to the discussion this week except pessimism and despair. I entered this exercise with low swing speed but high hopes. After missing a couple sessions at the Genesis, I returned to lower numbers. Still, I hit the gym, undeterred. But yesterday I slept funny, tweaked something in my neck and THEN tried to speed train anyway — to disastrous results. Low speed. Can’t look to my right. Morale is low. Can’t wait for next session!

I don’t know what these fools are doing. I’ve been following the program exactly as specified and have been consistently gaining speed week after week. My swing feels great — super powerful — and I finished north of 130 last week. I haven’t hit the course yet, but I’m chomping at the bit. For the first time in my life, I’m ready to hit some BOMBS.
