Article discussing golf swing
mechanics and how through exercise you can improve your golf swing.
Want
to know how to improve
your golf swing quickly? I'll give you one guess!
Here's a fast, easy 'no-brainer'
way to improve your golf swing and add a quick 10-20 yards with every
club.
And the best part, you can do it in your home in less than 30 minutes.
I have been approached by
thousands of golfers via the net and on the golf course with the same
question...in
frustration..."what can I do to improve my golf swing?"
I've heard all about the
dozens of lessons they've taken and the thousands of dollars they've
spent
on equipment all to play the same and not improve their golf swing.
Why do you think this is?
I can tell you why in less
than one sentence.
It's your body!
Grab
a cup of your favorite
beverage (mines good 'ol java)...sit in your most comfortable
chair...and
hear me out.
To hit a golf ball, what
takes place? Let's briefly go over it. Now stay with me on this...it's
going to make sense in a minute.
Get ready for that "ah-ha"
moment.
Here goes:
You physically grab the club
with your hands.
You
physically bend over
and get in your address position.
You
physically take the
club back, hoping for a full back swing.
You
physically attempt to
return the club back to impact with stored energy.
You
physically try to stay
in your golf posture until the end of your swing.
O.K.,
that's enough.
Do you see where I'm going
with this?
Why is this important to
know, and how you can use it to quickly improve your golf swing?
The answer is simple: Because
of all these common references given above are the result of your
body's
ability to accomplish these golf swing movements, with proper swing
mechanics.
If you have physical restrictions
(which the average golfer...especially as we age...has many) that won't
allow you to perform these optimal golf swing mechanics, you have a
minimal
(if not 'any') chance to optimize your golf potential.
That's the bad news!
The good news is you don't
have to settle.. you have the control to fix your faults. Tthat is, if
you know what they are.
Here's what I mean.
For
starters...if you have
a restriction in your hamstring flexibility, you won't be able to get
into
proper golf posture...and for sure...not maintain it for 18
holes.
The result is many miss-hits
because of fatigue and your body's fear of pain. At the end of the
round,
you end up with a sore back and wonder if you should cancel that next
round of golf.
Here's another one.
If your legs are weak...you
will have no stability in your golf swing. Your legs will be moving
(sliding)
side to side...and straightening, when they should stay flexed.
The result again is inconsistency,
lack of power and a predisposition to chronic injuries, due to
compensations
your body will make...keeping you 'off the course' for long periods of
time.
This is why I am a golf fitness
professional.
I have passion for the game...and
a goal to educate as many golfers as humanly possible...to stop the
frustration.
