Fitness Components For Golf
The fitness components for golf are a select few, but they are critical to a golfers success. The golf swing is a physically demanding movement on the human body. It involves coordination, balance, stability, muscular strength and endurance, and dynamic sequence of motion just to name a few.
Do you think a body that is physically broken can accomplish a mechanically sound repeatable swing?
Based on the physical requirements of a mechanically good golf swing…NO way! It is a physical impossibility to have a repeatable swing for 18 holes unless…you’ve implemented the fitness components for golf within a consistent program.
When you isolate your golf swing muscles…stretch and strengthen them…and improve the efficiency of sequencing your motions throughout the swing…you will no doubt be a massively improved golfer for the long term.
Isn’t that what you’re really looking for?
I’m sure you don’t expect to be a single digit golfer if you’re currently a 20 handicap. But wouldn’t it be nice to shoot in the low 80’s once in a while? How about consistently? It’s a reality if you take the fitness approach for golf.
For most of you in the U.S. it’s winter time. There’s no better time than RIGHT NOW to start implementing the fitness components for golf into your routine. You’ve got the extra time…and you DO want to play better next spring right?
Then get to it!
If I seem to be yelling…I AM! I really want you to listen to what I’m saying and apply it. Don’t be overwhelmed…I’m here in the flesh to help you in any way I can.
It’s my lifelong passion to educate golfers on the importance of the machine (body) in optimal golf performance.
Work on the “machine” and your game will skyrocket!
I played with a gentleman the other day that had every limitation in the book. And guess what? He could barely get the ball airborne. He was SO frustrated and embarrassed. I took him aside and gave him a little pep talk.
We only had a few holes left and I told him to RELAX and let his muscles do the work…with no thought at all.
I’m not kidding you…he parred the next hole (his first par of the day). Bogeyed the next (but he was still happy). And parred the very last hole! It was like night and day.
He had SO much tension in his swing…he had no chance to created any torque and power. I gave him my card after the round…an low and behold…he went home and bought ALL my golf fitness dvds AND my manual.
I personally called him and spent another 30 minutes on the phone with him.
He is now on his way to implementing the fitness components for golf into his “daily” life.
I tell you this story to give you hope!
Don’t give up!
It’s not too late!
Hang in there and work on your machine. Trust me on this. It’s critical you pay attention to the fitness components for golf.

Golf Swing Help With A Different Approach
Golf swing help is a thought in most amateur golfers minds on a daily basis. The never-ending search for a quick fix to your golf swing. I receive emails every day reading how golfers have tried “everything” and still haven’t improved. They have reached a state of desperation in their golf game.
Does this sound like you?
Unless you have 8 hours a day to work on your golf swing like the pros have, you will not be able to achieve that ultimate goal of consistent performance. The golf swing technique of today has become so complicated, that golfers are “paralyzed by over-analysis”.
I’ve heard some great analogies lately!
How about walking? Would we think of...

Golf - Effortless Power Golf Swing
A power golf swing is the dream of every golfer. How many times have you hit one just perfect and tried desperately to remember what you did that caused this to happen?
A power golf swing is not about swinging hard.
So many times a golfer will try to “put a little more into it” to get a few extra yards. If you’ve tried this…what happened? Did you get those extra yards or did it go shorter and even o... |  |
| Golf - The Best Golf Fitness Exercises For The Quickest Results
Golf fitness exercises that are the most effective are rotational in nature, incorporating your core. This is the engine to your swing! If your core is weak or restricted, you will have a very difficult time generating clubhead speed and power at impact.
Golf fitness exercises don’t need to be grueling, sweaty and in a gym to be effective. The beauty of athletic training is the value of using your own body and minimal equipment to get maximum benefit.
Many golfers feel they don’t have the time or resources to implement a golf fitness exercise training program; and yet they’ll hit balls 2-3 times a week and spend hundreds of dollars on clubs and gimmicky training aid... | |
| Golf - Golf Stance…and Its Physical Requirements
Golf stance is one of the most ignored terms and issues in the golf swing and yet the golf stance dictates the success of every golf swing you make.
When golfers think of golf stance, they don’t realize how hard it is to maintain over 18 holes (four and a half hours). Just take a look at the position your body is in during your set up.
There are many physical issues taking place, even though it is a static position a... | |

When you think of a golf driving tip I’ll bet you think of swing mechanics. Am I correct? If so, has it worked? I mean…have you added 10,20 or even 30 y... | |
| Golf - Golf Equipment Isn't Working
Golf equipment doesn't work? Did that catch your attention? I hope so. Now keep reading.
Just the other day I was watching the Golf Channel and they were talking yet again about the latest and greatest drives and irons. This golf equipment (new technology) that has gotten totally out of hand, is making these companies a ton of money.
Why?
Because they prey on vulnerable, frustrated golfers looking to play better through golf equipment.
Here’s my beef!
It’s not working! I don’t care what these companies say…I see golfers everyday, buying new golf equipment and STILL not playing any be... | |
