Golfers aren't athletes so strength training won't help their game…right?
Wrong- If you're a golfer, your swing can be improved with Proper Strength Training and this is true whether you are an amateur or on the Pro Am Tour!
Strength, Power, flexibility, agility, and even endurance are physical traits that every golfer must possess.
It was once noted that golfers are not athletic therefore they do not need fitness as a component to their golf-game. That statement is just as absurd as the practice of coaches during the 1950's and 1960's not letting their players drink water during practice because it developed mental toughness.
For years I have observed in amazement the injuries that occur with the golf enthusiast. Injuries such as elbow tendonitis, knee injuries, hip injuries, neck injuries, shoulder injuries and the most de-habilitating of all, an injured low back.
From a pure fitness point of view, there are tow (2) key factors that not only will improve a golfer's functional performance but will also reduce their potential for injury. Increased muscular strength and increased flexibility will give any golfer the potential to play a better game of golf and for many more years.
At a recent national golf conference, the statement was made 'currently golf technology has peaked and now the golfer had better seek out and pursue a proper golf fitness program.
Now, regardless of your age or your skill level, you will be surprised what a proper strength and flexibility program incorporated into your weekly schedule will do for your golf game. At www.properstrenthtraining.com we have the programs for golfers that are seriously improving their golf game!
