I have to admit I'm not a golfer. I just don't get the appeal of the game. But, I know so many people who love it that I want to share with you some exercises that will help a golf-lover's game and prevent injuries.

In golf, it's all about the strength of the upper body. Golf-specific exercises typically employ weights, such as dumbbells and other tools that help increase that strength.

"Dumbbells allow you a full range of motion that can be exactly like every phase of your golf swing.," notes the site Golflink.com.

Here's some exercises to try:

1. Practice your swing (with a dumbbell) -- Using a 3-pound weight (or higher), practice the full range-of-motion swing you use on the course; 3 sets of 12.

2. Tubing swing -- Attach a piece of rubber tubing to a door, and repeat exercise #1 using the resistance tubing as your weight.

3. Medicine balls -- Again, same exercise, but use a large stability ball to swing like a golf club. The weight is evenly distributed, and your arms will be farther apart.
