Are You Ignoring The Key Fitness Components of Your Golf Game?
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?
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.
By Isolating your golf swing muscles to stretch and strengthen them you increase the efficiency of sequencing your motions throughout the swing leading to a massively improved consistency level 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 80s once in a while? How about consistently? Its 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 right now to nail down a program you can stick to!

Start taking your mechanics seriously 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 create any torque with power.
That tension together with his tendency to OVERTHINK his every move was what was ultimately keeping from achieving his full potentional
I tell you this story to give you hope!
Dont give up!
Its not too late!
Hang in there and work on your body and mind. Trust me on this. Its critical you pay attention to the fitness components of golf.
