Golf Training - The Key To Great Golf
If you’ve watched any golf on the television you’ve no doubt heard the
commentator’s mention golf training. It’s no secret that 95 percent of
professional golfers are doing some for of golf training.
If there livelihood depends on their performance and they are participating in
golf fitness training, why wouldn’t amateur golfers do the same?
The golf swing is one of the most physically demanding movements on the human
body of all sports.
Swinging a three and a half foot long implement at upwards of 100 mph, while
maintaining balance, stabilization and proper swing mechanics is very
difficult.
I don’t think I have to convince you of that do I?
The “only” way to be able to accomplish this is by improving the strength AND
flexibility of your golf muscles.
What’s the simplest way to do this? I can tell you not on a machine in your
local gym.
Just take a look at the golf swing to realize it’s “on your feet” and bent at
the waist. How could sitting in a machine help that?
It can’t! You’ve got to do as many exercises as possible on your feet,
involving balance, coordination, strength and flexibility.
You don’t even have to be a golf fitness specialist to come up with some
creative golf exercises on your own.
How about making your golf swing while holding a single handweight? You can’t
get anymore golf-specific than that.
What about some exercise tubing (that’s inexpensive) attached to your door and
make your golf swing? Another very golf-specific exercise.
You don’t need a gym membership to do any of these and many more golf
exercises. Convenience of doing these exercises in your home saves time and
money.
There is a lot of information (including books) showing golfers on machines in
gyms. That’s not “golf-specific”, that’s “general fitness”.
If you want to improve your game quickly and easily, try doing these “in-home”
golf training exercises. You won’t believe how quickly your body will respond
and how you’ll be the LONGEST hitter in your foursome in no-time.
