ver the past ten years or so, people in general have become more aware of their health, be it by what they eat or how much exercise they are putting in. This has certainly filtered through to the golf world, with some high profile injuries in particular, leading to many amateur players taking notice of their own bodies and not only how keeping in shape can improve their game, but also how it can stop them ending up on the treatment table.
The main point for golfers to realize is that they take part in a sport whereby the movement (the golf swing), is actually one of the most complex movements of any sport. From the address position to the follow through, the golf swing utilises most of the body’s major muscles, and therefore results in a relatively high chance of injury.
A lot of golfers are still under the impression that simply going out and performing a few basic stretching exercises, is sufficient enough to prepare their body’s for the strain’s in which it is put through during a round of golf. Nothing could be further from the truth though. Even if these exercises/stretches are performed correctly, they are more often than not the wrong stretches at the wrong time.
An example of a body part neglected by most golfers is their feet. A complex combination of muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones, your feet will cover an average of 100,000 miles in your lifetime, and that’s before you take golf into the equation. Two rounds per week for 30 years is another 12,500 miles, and I’m sure that you can now see why your feet are at risk of injury, and should not be ignored.
Following a fitness program is therefore imperative if you want to improve your game and stay fit and healthy. Often, even experienced golfers are left with aches and pains or just simply feeling stiff after a round. A golf fitness program should not necessarily help you build your muscles, but should always help you to strengthen them. This will result in you being more flexible, which will ultimately result in an improved and more consistent golf swing.
The main thing to remember is that a good golf fitness program should not be complicated and time consuming. It is important that you realise this and are not put off by the misconception that you will have to put in a lot of time to achieve a good level of fitness on the golf course. Just spending 10 or 15 minutes, 2 or 3 times a week is enough to increase your fitness dramatically. In fact a lot of the exercises that can be carried out to great effect are actually possible to carry out whilst sitting down, such as on your lunch hour at the office.
With the benefits therefore of committing such a small amount of time, can you really afford to go on without a simple fitness plan that will not only help keep your body feeling great for years to come, but will also have you playing better golf?
