Golf fitness has never been considered as important to one’s
enjoyment and success in the sport as it is today. The erroneous
concepts and opinions of old (golf is not a physical game… golfers
don’t need to worry about fitness or nutrition…)
are dying away in favor of the realization that fitness is
paramount to performing well and golfers
simply play better
when they’re in better shape.
Today’s golf experts realize that it is much more than
Twain’s “good walk, spoiled” assessment of
the sport. Nearly every pro playing golf today works with a
personal golf fitness trainer. Many of them are stationed in
areas of the country where they can have easy and quick access.
Many trainers make themselves available on a more consistent
basis by traveling the tour with their players.
Go to any well known golf school and you’ll find a fitness
component factored into the daily regime. Long gone are lavish
meals, late night snacks and over indulgence at restaurants
on tour. Today’s players are making healthier choices
in their meals – especially prior to playing.
Fitness for Golf is the new golf standard for tour playing
professionals. Be sure to fitness and a regular golf exercise
program as one of the weapons in your arsenal of competitive
play.
