Pedersen 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 Temecula golf 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.
The golf swing is a physically demanding movement. Until golfers realize
this, their pursuit of the perfect swing will never be achieved. Fitness
Together personal training Temecula can provide you with the golf specific
fitness training to take your golf game to the next level. |
