Improving Your Fitness Will Improve Your Golf
Golfers realize that there IS a physical component to playing better golf. The golf media expounds on this fact and stresses improving one’s fitness to less-experienced golfers that want to play better.
It’s a well-known fact that golfers can suffer from any numerous physical maladies. The list is a long one and simply put, the more fit you are the better golf you will play.
Golf is a physical game (although many will argue it’s more mental or between the ears). The truth is that there is a tremendous amount of stress on almost every body part. Muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints pay the price if golf muscles are not strong enough to withstand the forces from swinging a golf club up to 100 MPH.
Let that sink in!
To swing the golf club consistently and accurately, it’s required to maintain a dynamic posture and swing motion from set-up to follow-through. Muscle strength and flexibility a major role in the mechanics of a 100 MPH swing.
Putting with the “flat stick” doesn’t require the full swing action. True, but after putting on the practice green for 5–10 minutes may result in lower back discomfort. Not Good! Experienced golfers don’t have this problem. Why? They know what a weak back can do to a golfer.
All golfers hit wayward shots that usually end up in an unwelcomed lie. Whether its in the bunker, rough, pine straw, rocks or wherever, the strength of the golfer is challenged. Swinging a golf club in any of these situations is a test on the wrists. Many times a highly stressful test. The more fit golfers know the importance of all hand, arm and shoulder strength.
The simple facts are that golf is a physical game and it takes a tremendous amount of flexibility and strength. No one wants to be injured playing a great game. If a golfer is not in shape, frustration is inevitable. The point is “to improve your play, be better fit”.
