A Better Golf Swing Is Inevitable
A better golfswing is inevitable…for any golfer, with the right approach. It doesn't matter age or ability. It's a reality…and can happen very quickly!
To achieve a better golf swing, a golfer needs to realize just how physically demanding it is on the human body. You are swing an object (golf club) at up to 100 mph. This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles.
If these tissues of the body are weak, tight or brittle they will rupture and eliminate you from playing golf indefinitely. If it doesn't, your performance will pay the price. The outcome either way is not what you want…but will happen without an emphasis on strengthening these areas.
Along with strengthening comes stretching. Stretching muscles to attain a better golfswing is common among most golfers. Although it is common, most golfers don't stretch. Why? Because it is viewed as ‘work'. But if it were viewed as a form of golf improvement it would be a different story.
Swing mechanics cannot be improved if your golf specific strength and flexibility are ignored. It is an impossibility, unless you compensate for this lack of capabilities in your golf swing. Teaching pros are now starting to realize there is a definite connection between
golfswing mechanics and fitness.
But that's where the BIG gap is. Between instruction and physical fitness. This is the ultimate combination for total golf performance and I have been preaching it for several years now. When your physical capabilities are improved, your golfswing mechanics become much easier to achieve.
The next time you visit your teaching pro, to achieve a better golf swing, you'll be able to do what he/she wants and the desired outcome will be achieved. This outcome is inevitable when you get your body moving better. Your golfswing mechanics fall into place.
It will only be a matter of time when all golfers will approach their golf improvement this way. It's the only way that will warrant lasting results and ultimately a better golf swing. _________________________________________________________________________
