A
Better Golf Swing Is Inevitable

A
better golf swing is inevitable…for
any golfer, with the right approach.
It doesn’t matter age or ability.
It’s a reality…and can happen very
quickly!
To achieve a better golf swing, a
golfer needs to realize just how
physically demanding it is on the
human body. You are swing an object
(golf club) at up to 100 mph. This
puts a tremendous amount of pressure
on the joints, tendons, ligaments and
muscles.
If these tissues of the body are weak,
tight or brittle they will rupture and
eliminate you from playing golf
indefinitely. If it doesn’t, your
performance will pay the price. The
outcome either way is not what you
want…but will happen without an
emphasis on strengthening these areas.
Along with strengthening comes
stretching. Stretching muscles to
attain a better golf swing is common
among most golfers. Although it is
common, most golfers don’t stretch.
Why? Because it is viewed as
‘work’. But if it were viewed as a
form of golf improvement it would be a
different story.
Swing mechanics cannot be improved if
your golf specific strength and
flexibility are ignored. It is an
impossibility, unless you compensate
for this lack of capabilities in your
golf swing. Teaching pros are now
starting to realize there is a
definite connection between golf swing
mechanics and fitness.
But that’s where the BIG gap is.
Between instruction and physical
fitness. This is the ultimate
combination for total golf performance
and I have been preaching it for
several years now. When your physical
capabilities are improved, your golf
swing mechanics become much easier to
achieve.
The next time you visit your teaching
pro, to achieve a better golf swing,
you’ll be able to do what he/she
wants and the desired outcome will be
achieved. This outcome is inevitable
when you get your body moving better.
Your golf swing mechanics fall into
place.
It will only be a matter of time when
all golfers will approach their golf
improvement this way. It’s the only
way that will warrant lasting results
and ultimately a better golf swing.
