Fitness For Golf
There are a surprising number of people out there, both golfers and non golfers, who struggle to see how exercises can help your golf game.
The usual comments are based around the fact that “back in the day” golfers such as Jack Nicklaus, didn’t do any form of physical training and who can argue with his calibre?
Well,, where as this may be true, few people know that in the latter stages of his career, Jack himself realised that by performing specific types of exercise regularly, not only helped his game as he approached the end of his career but also helped in keeping him injury free.
Look at the evidence
Although I won’t bore you with the evidence, it is now recognised by all top golfers that improvements in physical fitness, both cardiovascularly, and muscularly, have a huge impact on the way the golfer is able to cope with the demands of the game.
Tiger Woods was perhaps the first professional to truly endorse the virtues of physical fitness in the game of golf and who’d deny that this philosophy has served him pretty well.
So, whether you are a scratch handicapper who wants to improve your strength or a weekend hacker who simply wants to protect your back from injury, fitFAQS is now featuring a selection of pages which will hopefully give you an idea of what you should be doing – and why.
