Why a Proper Golf Fitness Training Program Will Improve Your Golf Game

Are you like many golfers who take lesson after lesson and don’t seem to improve? Well, it might be due to lack of proper conditioning.

A golf specific strength and conditioning training program may be the answer for you. Stronger muscles, bones, and connective tissue all contribute to a better golf game and a reduction in your chances of getting injured.

Regular exercise can also bring on improvements in balance, muscle control and range of motion that can help improve your swing. Whether you're a novice or tournament player, you certainly want to perform as well as you can.

Here are three important aspects of your swing that proper conditioning will significantly improve:

1. Swing range by improving your joint flexibility.
2. Swing speed by developing your muscle strength.
3. Swing power by training your postural balance and coordination.

Improving your golf game through better physical fitness is a must for getting better. Adam Schriber of Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville, MI (Golf Magazine Top 100 Teachers in America) says most amateurs don’t improve because they are “under -trained and fail to retain their innate movement patterns.”

Adam also goes on to say that you must train to make change and incorporating a proper fitness program will “improve your technique and free your mind so that you can swing like an athlete.” (Golf Magazine, 2009)

Of course, this type of fitness program should include cardiovascular activity and appropriate nutrition. According to Todd M. Cambio, Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Owner of Precision Fitness, “the primary focus of any golf specific program should be on safe, sensible, effective and efficient exercises designed to make you feel better and play better.”
