I'm not a runner.
Was hoping it had a fitness center, but if not workout bands will be coming with.
Makes for a nice early morning walk, perhaps? Haha.
Gym goers, ever workout before golf?

'I don't get sore': Brooks Koepka details crazy pre-round workouts at PGA Championship
Brooks Koepka is a physical specimen. But the intense workouts he does before PGA Championship rounds are hard to believe.

Here’s Koepka talking about going hard in the gym before rounds.
Oh for sure. If no fitness center, I will get some bodyweight/band workouts in followed by a morning walk to start the day.
No fitness center, unfortunately.
FIFY
Eh, no biggy. My coach will give me some band/body weight workouts to supplement.
I'll go before.. but nothing too heavy or crazy. More of a light workout to wake the body up. I don't think I have ever worked out after golf
I’m with you. I can make a workout out of any space, basically.
I do no workout at all on golf days outside of a pre-round warm up routine focused mostly on mobility. Strength training is for the other days of the week. IF I did want to get in a little workout, it would definitely be after the round, so I had full energy to play first.
Yes have done it many times. Some of our am tournaments if i get a late tee time, or in our club championships the (humble brag alert in 3-2-1) leaders usually tee off at like 1pm....so i'll often work out and jog beforehand

So far so good on the 10 AM heavy workout and the 1:30 tee time. Like yesterday, my muscles, feel primed and ready to fire, swinging it well again.
I am walking today as well

I would work out and golf the same day. Did at the Grandaddy last year. But not everyone was obsessed with it like this year
.I did a pretty hard deadlift set the day I did a club champion fitting and swung the club faster than I ever had.
And going hard in the gym before a round is not remotely close to as hard as they go in the gym.

I literally needed the gym to feel alive at the Grandaddy. Survival mechanism, haha.

In the past ive struggled lifting before golfing in terms of muscle fatigue but once you do it enough you can get used to it. Body is good at adapting. Regarding warming up for your round id absolutely say that's why you were so loose during. Gotta warm the body up to golf its still a highly physical activity.
Reminds me of the golf ball doesn't fly far in the cold argument it's actually that your body isn't warm and muscles cant produce optimal force

Doesn't surprise me. If you're used to going hard and past the initial soreness phase, it's not a big deal. If you do a workout you're not used to, or go heavy when you haven't been going heavy, standby for misery!'I don't get sore': Brooks Koepka details crazy pre-round workouts at PGA Championship

I am super cognizant of what I’m doing prior to golf though. I won’t do heavy legs anymore prior to golfing. Most upper body workouts I’m fine with. But I’ll also avoid anything that’ll overly stress my core/lower back. Just have to be a little more careful these days.

I didn't feel much fatigue yesterday while playing after a heavy day but I'm absolutely feeling it today. Not a good idea going heavy then golf. I'll be continuing to go golf then afterwards heavy gym days instead.
