One of the main reasons golfers should be seeking power in their golf swings, besides to hit it past your friends, is to make sure that you have a shorter shot in for your approach to the green. It is much easier to get a 9-iron close to the pin then a 3-metal or utility club. When you gain power in your swing, you have a better chance of lower your score.

In order to add power you have to get stronger, learn to move your muscles faster and train the correct sequence of motion.
