it

The
fascinating thing about golf-specific
weight training is that despite the
fear many golfers have of it, there is
really nothing to be afraid of.
Why should there be any reason for
fear when 80 year old persons are
comfortably going through them. And
what’s more is these elderly persons
have quite often hailed the weight
training as being responsible for the
dramatic improvement in their game as
well as the easing of nagging pains
that usually do not respond to
medication like back pains.
Junior golfers are also
enthusiastically embracing golf
specific weight training with similar
results. Some of these kids are barely
in their teens. But what has been even
more amazing is the impact that the
golf specific weight training has had
on their golf game. Many have been
able to increase the distance of their
drives by yards that are in the higher
levels of a double digit figure.
Still this has not prevented golf
specific weight training from being
greatly feared amongst many golfers
who have various excuses not to touch
exercise. There are those who claim
that weight training will give them
bulging muscles and make them stiff
when it is common knowledge that
flexibility is very important in golf.
For these golfers, the mere mention of
dumb bells sends shivers down their
spines as they picture themselves
struggling with heavy weights in some
gym somewhere.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Golf specific weight training
really involves strength training and
not body building. As a result it
involves the use of lifting lighter
weights more repetitively. The sort of
light weights that teenagers and
senior citizens alike do not have any
problem handling.
Whether you dread it or not, the facts
are that golf specific weight training
is extremely important for any golfer.
