10 Golf Fitness Articles You Need to Read
- The 7 Secret Necessities for Great Golf
- The game of golf can be difficult when you consider all of the individual elements. Most golfers are overwhelmed with information regarding which tips will benefit their game and which ones won't.

- Professional golfers on the PGA Tour understand the connection between golf swing mechanics and the body. The most notable players in the world have regimented golf fitness programs they adhere religiously too. The benefits of such programs have been well documented in the media. Press clippings from Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, and Phil Mickelson all refer to golf fitness exercises being a component of their regular practice schedule.

- Before I design any golfer's fitness program, I perform a complete orthopedic and functional assessment and a swing analysis to determine the golfer's needs in comparison to the demands of the sport of golf itself.
This establishes the golfer's fitness priorities; the aspects of their training program that will have the greatest impact on their performance. In other words, it helps establish a plan of action.

- One of the biggest mistakes golfers (and many other athletes) make is attempting to train too "specifically" for their sport when they lack even the most basic levels of conditioning. Just as you begin building a skyscraper by laying the foundation, so do you begin your golf-fitness program by establishing a level of foundational strength.

- When conditioning the abdominals, we usually think of abdominal crunches (which I believe are very effective) but they only address one area of the body, the upper abs. Over the next four weeks I will offer a series of core conditioning poses, based on a series of yoga poses that targets the entire core.

- Preparing the body with flexibility exercises before golf is as important as working on your game. Many golfers are frustrated by their inability to maximize their potential. Although owning the best golf equipment is essential, without the ability to physically execute the proper swing mechanics your efforts are fruitless. If lack of time is a challenge my suggestion is work on one component - your flexibility. Regardless of your existing flexibility condition, the most basic yoga poses will reap tremendous benefits. My program guarantees a 20% increase in your range of motion!
Click above to read the full article. - The Ultimate Golf Workout
- More often than not, golf magazines publish some lame sidebar on golf fitness. They write a small blurb about an exercise and show someone standing with one foot on a balance board throwing a weighted medicine ball. Then they tell you if you do it 3 times a week for 6 minutes while you are watching infomercials on the Golf Channel, you'll add 17.5 yards to your drive.
Brilliant.
After you clean up the mess you made smashing the medicine ball into your coffee table, then what do you do?
Click above to read the full article. - First Tee Stretches
- The First Tee stretch sequence utilizes the golf cart and clubs. This sequence should be done before, during and after the round. Keep the muscles loose by stretching continuously throughout the round. You will be more consistent, have more speed and power in the swing and maintain the necessary endurance.
Click above to read the full article. - Hydration on the Course
- "Stay hydrated" is a common phrase you often hear from playing sports and on the golf course. Optimal hydration can improve your golf game mentally and physically. Since the brain is made up of 85% of water and is water inefficient, it has top priority in regards to blood circulation. Drinking the correct amount of water will ensure optimal blood flow to the brain which will enable you to focus on the golf course.
