You've bought your top of the range clubs, go-faster balls and all of the best golfing equipment that money can buy. In addition you play round after round of practice, drive ball

It's quite common to see recommendations for golf fitness programs to include significant levels of long, slow distance aerobic exercise (LSD).An example of LSD would be getting on a treadmill and walking for an extended period of time such as 30 minutes or more.  From a performance perspective and a golf fitness perspective (remember we're talking about a specific type of fitness), this couldn?t be more wrong.

  In golf, I see many injuries occur due to imbalances in flexibility or range of motion with resultant compensation in the swing, often changing the swing mechanics. In some cases this can steepen the swing and create higher spine forces or create excessive rotation and place additional stress on the discs. Due to the repetitive nature of golf, it is important to be in top physical shape or eventually you will experience some form of an injury (likely a disc problem).

Before I design any golfer’s fitness program, I perform a complete orthopedic and functional assessment and a swing analysis to determine the golfer’s needs in comparison to the demands of the sport of golf itself.

  I have a question for ya.

Now is the time to incorporate not only your new strength and flexibility routine, but also the results of your hard work during the winter. Fitness cannot be stored, so please continue your program even if you decrease the time you do it.
