Golf Fitness

[thelank1985]

Hi Guys,
I have been playing golf now for about 4 years, I love the sport but would like to get a little more out of it .
I have been looking around at golf fitness techniques and wondering if you guys knew of any really good exercises to increase flexibility, strength and balance particularly that would help the golf swing.

Or would I be better off getting a personal trainer to help? It’s a bit expensive tho J.
Any help greatly received.

Do a search on Youtube for "golf fitness" or "golf excercises" there are loads of clips on there most of which can be carried out in the front room

TPI is great and I had a few sessions with a PT who was accredited by them and it was really useful. Mainly injury prevention but also made me much more stable through the swing.

Have a look for Core Performance Golf, you should be able to get it from Amazon for under £10.

Excellent book!

Bottle of water, an apple or banana, a Mars Bar (substitute in any chocolate bar) an 18 hole walk, swinging and hitting a wee white ball. That's the sum of my golf exercise!

Recovery time is fueled by a steak pie and chips plus a pint of ice cold.

Champion.

:thup:

Get a powerball!

Using one has strengthen my wrists so I can keep them out of the swing rather than breaking or casting as the swing speed increases.

Its not about using them in the swing, its building the strength so they do what they are supposed to better!

Steak pie and chips in the clubhouse was how we used to measure how good a course was
