Health & Fitness

With the exception of Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and a few others, golfers in the past were far from well conditioned. Many bragged about never lifting anything heavier than a petticoat. Gone are the days of locker room drinks, smokes and card games. With the meteoric rise of Tiger Woods, it is no longer enough to just be a golfer, you have to also be an athlete. If you were to strip Tiger down to his underpants and watch him hit his driver you would achieve two things. You’d firstly make me very happy! And secondly you would see the synchronised contraction of powerful muscle groups acting upon a supremely flexible body. Woods is an athlete and he crunches the ball like one .

Pro’s today are fitter and more in tune with sports science than their predecessors (who were brought up on swing alone). The demands on tour today are much higher with higher purses, more media pressure, more events to which they travel globally for and the depth of quality is far greater. Players can now extend their careers on into the seniors tour which is even more reason to be in shape.

But it's not just keeping in shape that golfers need to watch - if your swing has faults or your body has weaknesses and cannot perform the movements you ask it to- then you become susceptable to golfing related injuries.

I am now qualified to do Golf Fitness screens that could change the way you play golf forever!!

This means I am an approved Fitness Professional. Visit www.mytpi.com for more information on what the Titleist Performance Institute is all about. This system will mean I am able to diagnose any weak areas in your fitness that would ultimately hold your golf game back. TPI then give you a fitness regime to work with and this will hopefully lead to lower scores on the golf course and better general well being!! Change your game today - I've done this and it makes serious sense... my ball is now going straighter due to the changes I made in my fitness routine. I now work on the areas that are weak in my golf swing and as a result my golf has improved. Try it!!
