Too Late To Improve Golf Fitness?
Golf season is getting in to full swing (pun intended). And while you should have been working on your golf fitness during the off season, it’s never too late to get started.
The concept of golf fitness is not new but it’s only become popular in recent years, primarily due to golfers like Tiger Woods. Laying aside the recent discovery of his marital unfitness, the guy has an amazing physique that most any athlete would like to have.
Physical conditioning, thanks to golfers like John Daly, is not often used in the same sentence with the word ‘golfer’. It is usually overlooked entirely except by the more serious golfers. However, it can make a significant difference for any golfer, regardless of their golfing ability. Given the usual sedentary lifestyle of most people, it’s not hard to see how it might help.
Golf fitness programs address flexibility, stability, endurance, and power. Improving range of motion and core strength can make a remarkable difference in a player’s swing. Additionally, and this may be the most important benefit for the average player, it can reduce injuries. Your golf game will benefit but you’ll also experience an overall better quality of life.
Fitness By Design has one of the top golf fitness trainers in Indianapolis, probably the whole state. Tracy Chapman, one of our personal trainers, was a golfer at IU, spent some time on a professional tour, and coached golf at the college level. She is certified by Titleist as a golf fitness trainer for adults and junior golfers. As people play a few rounds and realize how out of shape they are her schedule will fill up fast, so contact the golf coach asap.
Golf fitness training is not just for the elite PGA players. Golfers who invest in their fitness will get to enjoy the game for many more years and play better in the meantime. Parents looking for ways to help their children get fit can use the game as a reason to get their kids to exercise more and develop an active lifestyle. And who knows, shaving a couple more strokes off your game might just be the ticket to winning the office tournament this year.
