Potential

Strength
for golf is a term you’ve all heard
by now. It’s all over the television
during professional tournaments, and
golf instructors are now throwing the
term around.
What makes strength for golf so
important and why should you listen?
Let me briefly explain.
The golf swing is traumatic to the
body! I can’t put it any simpler
than that. When you are swing an
object that is over 3 feet long at
over 85 mph, there is a physical cost.
The physical cost is undo stress on
the major joints of the body. The
lower back is the most common area to
get injured, along with the hips,
shoulders, knees and even wrists.
If your body is physically weak and
restricted (low level of flexibility),
you will have a minimal chance at
playing good golf and staying
injury-free as well.
How many times have you gone to the
range or the course, only to come home
with your lower back stiff, aching or
in pain? What about other body parts?
I’ll be you’ve felt your hip
joints or maybe even your shoulder
joints at some point.
If you saw a slow motion video of the
human body swinging a club, you’d be
shocked. The body is put in some
torqued positions throughout the
swing. When the body is weak it breaks
down. That’s a fact!
In comes strength for golf!
By working your golf specific muscles,
you will not only improve your swing
mechanics quickly, but your game will
transform. You will feel like a
different golfer on the course. Your
playing partners will be in awe.
You may think I’m hyping this up,
but all the above is true! You will
quickly realize this has been the
missing link to your golf game
improvement all along. And don’t
ever think it’s too late to start a
program of strength for golf.
