How To Improve Your Game With Simple Golf Exercises!
Winter is upon us and you have more time, since you're not golfing?so why not get a jump on
next season by doing some simple, in-home golf exercises that will quickly prepare your body
to hit LONGER drives and shoot LOWER scores?
How many times have you started a new golf
season with very high scores, short drives, and aches and pains? Am I talking to you? Let's
be honest. It happens more times than you'd like. But why not do it different this time?
Instead of going into deep depression that the season is over ? keep golf in the top of your
mind by starting a golf exercise program.
Don't let your clubs get dusty and forget
about your game. Prepare your body in anticipation of next spring. It's no fun to come off
the course feeling spent (in more ways than one) when you could have energy to spare. You have
between 4-6 months to greatly improve your strength, flexibility and stamina. It would be the
wisest thing to do to improve your golf for next season.
When you begin the season with
a "broken" body, you're taking two steps back. Take a leap forward and prepare your
body by getting your golf exercise program in motion. Think of it this way. What a great
opportunity to get the edge on your playing partners and win all the money. Wouldn't that get
their goat?
Finally, you'll get the chance to redeem yourself from a previous season
that found you paying out more than receiving and being the brunt of all jokes in the
clubhouse after every round. We've all been there - but no longer right? This is the winter
to make the commitment and do it! No excuses. No more reasons to put it off. You may
realize it's not easy ? but nothing worth getting is easy.
Golf exercise is a very
popular topic these days among all the pros, teachers and even amateurs. It's no secret that
if you get your body fitter, stronger and more flexible you will swing better and hit longer
drives that produce lower scores.
That's what we all want right? What a feeling to be
the longest (and straightest) hitter in your group. Always hitting your approach shot last
because you were the furthest down the fairway. Those are the kinds of thoughts you should
have this winter while you're working out.
The simplist way to implement golf exercises
is to look at the golf swing. First off, it's standing on your feet. Not sitting down, like
on a machine in your local gym. So try to do most of your exercises on your feet.
Secondly, you should be in your golf posture. Which is a bend forward at the hips, with your
knees slightly flexed. Doing exercises in this position will create a very strong, stable
golf swing.
A good example of a golf exercise would be the Golf Posture Lateral
Raise:
? Bend forward at hips just beyond normal golf posture.
? Hold dumbbells
in front of your thighs, palms facing each other.
? Slowly raise dumbbell to the
side and up.
? Slowly bring back down to pre-stretch position.
Do you see how
this would quickly build up the strength in the back of your shoulders for a strong take-away
and downswing? The only equipment required was a pair of dumbbells (hand weights), which
probably cost about $10. No fancy gym. And in the convenience of your home, saving you
time.
This is just one example of a simple golf exercise you can do quickly and
conveniently in your home to dramatically transform your game!
