Golf
workouts for winter is a great
approach to taking advantage of the
time you now have available to improve
your golf since you’re not playing
as much, if not at all. It’s a way
to stay connected to your golf game
when you’re not able to play due to
the conditions (snow, temperatures,
ice, etc.).
Have you gone into depression mode
when winter hits and you can’t play
golf anymore? I know this use to
happen to me until I finally moved to
a year-round nice climate. This
transition from playing golf regularly
to not at all can be depressing.
What do you do with all the time you
now have since you’re not playing?
The answer? Golf workouts for the
winter! This is your “off-season”
and like most athletes they work on
their body’s to take their game to
the next level. This is a time where
you evaluate your game and work on
your weaknesses.
A common denominator for most golfers,
especially senior golfers is
“physical capabilities”. This is
your current level of golf-specific
strength and flexibility. It is highly
unlikely you have no physical
limitations in your golf swing. 80% or
more of amateur golfers play with an
injury during the season. This would
tell me there is a physical issue.
What better time than winter to do
golf workouts to greatly improve this
situation. There is no excuse.
You’ve got the time and hopefully
you’ve got the motivation to improve
your game. You’ve just got to set up
a game plan in regards to your golf
workouts for winter.
The first step is to get a physical
evaluation done to diagnose your
current level of fitness specific to
golf. You can hire a local golf
fitness trainer or look on the web.
Golf workouts are becoming so popular
you can’t miss finding out
information about them.
Once you’ve gotten your golf fitness
evaluation, assess the areas that need
the most work and spend the majority
of your time on those areas. Most
likely this would be flexibility and
core strength. These are two very
common areas that are lacking and can
make the most impact on your golf
improvement.
You will be shocked at your progress
if you stick with it through the
entire winter. The first time you step
on the range, you’ll feel like a
different golfer. It will be like an
“out-of-body” experience. You’ll
soon realize this is what you’ve
been missing all along.
So when you put those clubs up for the
winter and go into depression
mode…remember this article and start
your golf workouts for winter.
