You’ve got to have an understanding of the demands in golf to realize the importance of fitness in golf. It’s never too late to do it. Senior golfers can reap the biggest benefits
I have heard horror stories from golfers who have tried everything to play better golf. Lessons…books…videos…everything! Nothing worked for them.
Why? Limitations AND Compensations!
Their body can’t physical do what it needs to do to make even one good golf swing, let alone 18 holes of good swings.
The ONLY way to change this dreadful situation is through a golf specific fitness progam. Simple exercises and stretches is all you need! You don’t even need to sweat! Just do something daily! You don’t need a gym membership either. Do it right in your home with very little equipment.
No More Lessons
Here’s one reason why a golfer won’t improve once they take a golf lesson or even several lessons.
You normally take a lesson because you’ve got a ‘glitch’ in your swing. Might be a slice, maybe a hook, a top, or many other flawes.
The instructor tells you the potential causes of your swing fault, and an attempt at how to correct it.
You give it 110% and still can’t make it happen. Why? Your BODY can’t do it! No way…no how! Unless you implement simple exercises, stretches and fitness drills, you’ll be struggling in vain for a LONG time!
Don’t feel lost. You are a huge part of the golfing population who goes through this. But…it doesn’t have to be that way! Listen to what I”m saying…read this article again…and get to it!
