PI GOLF

Golf and fitness have become synonymous. You need to look no further than Tiger Woods to see how competitive golfers are using fitness to improve their game. Understanding how the body works, and how the systems of the body work together is key to the successful training of the golf athlete. For PGA Tour Players and elite junior golfers the Focus of the training is primarily for injury prevention, mental toughness and most importantly, developing the body to better perform the golf swing.

The are a number of aspects to golf training that must be considered.

 

  • Posture
  • Core Strength
  • Balance and Coordination
  • Flexibility and Regeneration
  •  

         

    Golf training should incorporate functional movements that challenge balance, improve posture, and utilize the core. All the exercises can be adjusted to make the exercise easier, or even challenge the fittest athletes. Although some exercise machines may be incorporated, this basic golf training doesn't require much equipment and almost anyone can do it. The basic equipment requirements include a exercise ball or piece of tubing and your own body weight. When it is understood what needs to be trained and how to effectively target the movements golf training will begin to reach the next level.
