Golf is a fair weather sport. Most of the time the sun is out and you stroll or ride from hole to hole. The only highest point of physical exertion occurs during the drive. There isn’t much to it, right?

Contrary to popular belief, the physical body undergoes repetitive stress that can turn any sunny day of golf into a gloomy day of aches and pain. Repetitive stress may affect any joint from the wrists up to the shoulders. It can then travel from to the spine to the pelvis and down through the knees and ankles. Eventually, the body takes on a strength imbalance. When the strength imbalance occurs injuries arise. Since the body is a kinetic chain one poor biomechanical movement pattern offsets another and another, like dominos. It is necessary to establish integrity, stabilization, and ensure the prevention of injuries. For example, core strength is essential to gain power for any sport, especially golf. Extremities depend on the core for its’ strength. Without core strength the body relies on sheer joint pressure and stress. Unfortunately, repetitive stress has a way of putting a damper on the sunny day at the golf course. Remember that all it takes is one nasty fat shot to jar your spine.

A common mistake most people do is playing their sport to get into shape; they don’t get into shape to play their sport. We now offer a specifically designed workshop that encompasses all the critical areas of conditioning for golfers. In addition to core strength/power, other areas of training will be addressed, such as, endurance resistance training, balance, stability, functional movement skills, and flexibility.

This conditioning workshop will physically challenge, educate, and enhance the performance of all levels of golfers. The knowledge and conditioning skills obtained will be invaluable and necessary.
